Happy Watercolor

Did you know that the Occasions Catalog is ending on Sunday, June 1st? Well it does, and so today I thought share with you some projects that I made using the bundle (135224/135225) of products along with some of the other items you’ll find in the Occasions Catalog.

This first project is a 3d box that I made and filled with some chocolates for a friend as a thank you. The little gable box holds quite a bit of chocolate too which is always a plus when it comes to chocolate LOL.

To create the focal point on this box I first stamped my heart image from the Peachy Keen stamp set (133110/133113) in Real Red (126949) and then used my VersaMark Pad (102283) and the Pool Party Embossing Powder (129398). The polka dot pattern came from the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (132996).

This next card is one of my Shoebox Swaps

I really love the little bow we made using the 1 1/4″ Burlap Ribbon (132140). All I did was cut one end to expose the thread and pulled a couple off to use for this project. Cool, huh?

And this last card was also made with the On Film Framelits (132969) along with the Happy Watercolor stamp set (133188/133191). I stamped my image onto Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650) and placed my photo frame cut from Pear Pizzazz card stock (131201) on top. Added a bit of our Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape (133000), a Very Vintage Designer Button (129327) and a piece of Gold Bakers Twine (132975) that I placed through the button and tied a knot in.

I really love the little pop of color that our Brights Candy Dots (130931) added the Banner Punch (133519) pieces too.

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some cards made with the Hello, Sailor stamp set.

This past week I found myself in need of some sympathy cards and the Happy Watercolor stamp set (133188/133191) from the Occasions Catalog (page 22) immediately came to mind.

Why, you may ask? Because recently I had the chance to work with the Happy Watercolor stamp set at a retreat and fell in love with it. It is really so cool since it really does look like you’ve water colored the images. I’m not sure exactly how they do it, but how cool is that right?

So here is my card. I used the sentiment from the Simply Sketched Hostess Set (item 129669/129672) and stamped it in Basic Gray. I just love the sentiments from this Hostess set, the font is just lovely and rather elegant.
