Did you catch the little 3d gift item in the photos that I shared with you the other day from my Occasions Catalog Sneak Peek Event? It was sitting there with the Domed Treat Box that I shared with you on Tuesday.
Everyone who attended received this little holder filled with post it flags to mark their wish list items in the new Occasions Catalog. (And if you’ve seen the catalog you’ll know why! LOL – my own wish list is huge! I think this is the best Occasions Catalog I’ve seen in all the years I’ve been a demonstrator.)
When I saw these at the dollar spot I knew the pastel flags would be perfect with soft water colored look of the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper.
Here is a quick – and I mean quick Video Tutorial for you so you can make some too! And I’ve included the complete supply list below.
Suite Sayings Flag Holder Video Tutorial:
I had so much fun with these I made them all a little different. I couldn’t pick a favorite. How about you? Which color combination do you like the best? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

I love this stamp set with it’s masculine plane image – and with the sentiments included it will be a fun one to use for all kinds of occasions so it was a natural choice for one of our projects during my Sneak Peek event.
When I first saw this set this little plane it reminded me of a childhood memory – my step father taking flying lessons. That always seemed like such an adventuresome thing to do! And to hear him talk there was a lot more to it than I thought at that age. All those numbers and gauges! I was so impressed when he finally flew solo in his late 50’s! Paul’s example also taught me that it’s never to late to reach for your dreams.
The Sky is the Limit and the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper are found in our Sale-a-bration brochure AND did you know that this year some of our Sale-a-bration choices are only available until February 15th? Look on pages 16 – 19 you’ll find a Blackberry Bliss band on the side of the page that say’s Limited-Time Products! Only available through February 15, 2016. So if this is one of your choices you won’t want to delay and miss out on this versatile stamp set and Designer Series Paper.

A New Catalog is a lot of fun – and of course when it’s Sale-a-bration, it’s even more fun! So to start the New Year off with a bang I held my NEW Catalog Sneak Peek Event on the 3rd of January – two days before the catalog launched! That meant that everyone who attended was able to play with some of the new products and see them before it went live! Whoo hoo! A great way to start off the New Year, right?
In today’s post I’m going to share with you some photos of the event. This first one is a picture of the classroom set up – to show you a bit of what greeted everyone who attended.
And this second one shows you what was at everyone’s spot.
Everyone who attended received a couple of special treats from me – and in today’s Video Tutorial I’ll show you how the little chocolate holder was made.
I call these Love Blossom Domed Treat Box – I’m so original, not with names – but well I called them this because they’re domed or treasure box shaped!
I used our new 6×6 paper stack, Love Blossoms since they were the perfect size! I didn’t even have to cut the paper!
Want to see a quick video tutorial on how to make them? Well, here you go. (Sorry about the froggy voice, I’m fighting winter allergies and just couldn’t wait any longer to share this with you.)
Domed Treat Box Video Tutorial:
A great project, huh? And it holds quite a bit so you can put almost any item you’d like inside. Of course, I wanted to pamper my guests with some Valentine chocolate, (before Larry found it!) so this was perfect.
And of course, our Honeycomb Happiness (Sale-a-bration 1412788/141291) is an item that you can earn FREE during Sale-a-bration. I love the images and thought the sentiment was perfect for this project!
I’ve given you a complete supply list for this project below. And I don’t know about you, but I find the Envelope Punch Board a fantastic addition to my stamping supplies and have been finding all kinds of things besides envelopes to make with it! If you haven’t already seen my Getting Started with the Envelope Punch Board Tutorial – why not check it out now?
NEW WEEKLY DEALS START TODAY!
Here are some projects made with the Envelope Paper – it’s not just for lining or creating envelopes as you can see.
Today’s card is one of the three Make ‘n Takes that everyone made during my Sneak Peek Event. Those who attended were able to see and play with the new products from the Occasions Catalog before it went live!
I love the way this card turned out.
The Botanical Booms stamp can can be used in all kinds of ways and since it is a photopolymer set it makes this 2 step stamping quick and easy! And the coordinating Botanical Builder Framelits Dies are really cool since some of them even include a pop up portion to the design like the flower I used on this card front.
Even the Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper has a cool new feature. The images coordinate with the stamps so you can add detail to the paper if desired! Can you see the stamped images on the lower portion of the Designer Series Paper? We’ve stamped some of the center of the flowers.
This card was made with our money saving Bundle. You’ll want to check out this fun new Bundle (140819) found on page 26 in the NEW Occasions Catalog. It includes not only stamp set, Framelits but also coordinating Designer Series Paper! Whoo hoo – purchase this and you’ll be able to choose an item from the Sale-a-bration brochure too! 15% savings and a FREE items – what could be better?
Stop by tomorrow when I’ll share a little goodie that every received for coming and a video tutorial showing you how I made them. (That is if I can get it uploaded. It’s cold here in North Georgia and I think my internet is feeling it. LOL!)
Accessories: Botanical Builder Framelits Dies (140625), Delightful Dijon Dotted Lace Trim (138426), Old Olive Baker’s Twine (134579), and Ornate Tag Topper Punch (137416)

I love the fun font that you find in the Sassy Salutations stamp set and so I thought I’d mix it up with the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper (141022) that you can earn FREE during Sale-a-bration.
Here is what I came up with.
So what do you think? I love the bold colors found in the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper and thought it would be fun in a patch work type design. Since this card was designed for a friend who recently had surgery I was thinking get well, sick, bed, quilts. Ah, how my mind meanders. LOL!
I used one of our White Perfect Accents (138416) for the center of the flower. I like the different look it has. Typically I would have grabbed my Pearls or Rhinestones but wanted something a little more subtle to go with the soft Pool Party card base.
Stop on by next week when I’ll be sharing some of the gift items I made for my Catalog Sneak Peek Event I held on Sunday.
Paper: Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper (141022), Pool Party (122924), Basic Gray (121044), Calypso Coral (122925) and Whisper White Card stock (100730)
Accessories: White Perfect Accents (138416),Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack (138416), 1 1/2″ Circle Punch (138299), 2″ Circle Punch (133782), 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (118874) and 1″ Square Punch (124094)
The Sky is the Limit during Sale-a-brations and this set was my first choice when I earned a Sale-a-bration choice with my purchase. I just love the masculine image and font used for the sentiments! And since it is only available until February 15th I didn’t want to miss out!
So of course it was my first choice when I needed a Graduation card for my husband’s nephew who recently graduated with his nursing degree. We’re extremely proud of him and so I wanted to make something extra special.
I stamped the World Map in Crumb Cake on top of the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series paper, to give it more of a subtle feel and sponged the outer edges of the airplane piece too to make it feel more antiqued.
I really like the way it turned out and hope he likes it too. What do you think?
