Yeah, finally we can order from the all new Occasions Mini Catalog as well as Sale-A-Bration! There is so many new things to be excited about! So, I wanted to share some of them with you including the two cards I made for an Occasions mini swap and a Sale-A-Bration swap.
This is my Sale-A-Bration swap using the new Whimsical Words stamp set that you can get for FREE with your $50 purchase and you can choose to from wood mounted or CLEAR! I also used the new Beautiful Wings embosslits Die to create the die embossed butterflies! Aren't they FABULOUS!
It's hard to see here, but, I added some shimmer to the dry embossed background by mixing some white shimmer paint (which you can still order even though the Holiday Mini Catalog is retired!) with alcohol and spritzing it on.
And here is my Occasions Mini swap:
I chose to use the new Tiny Tags stamp set, all the stamped images on this card except for the background stamp are from that set. It is so cute and another great thing about it is that is made to coordinate with the new Simply Adorned bracelet and Mini bracelet charms (see page 28 of the Occasions mini)! This stamp set also has a coordinating punch the Medium Jewelry tag punch, which is part of a line of newly designed punches, check them out on page 10 and 11 of the Occasions Mini.
Another new accessory I used on this card is the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits Die, it cuts and dry embosses the heart at the same time. Got to love that!
The polka dots are very raised with a very nice impression. It's a new fave!
Lastly and speaking of HEARTS!!! Check out this must have goodie!
Heart Shaped Sweet Treat cups AND matching stamp set!
I can believe how cute that is! And, if you look closely at the picture you can see that the Full Heart Punch punches the perfect opening for the treat cut to fit in, BRILLIANT!

Happy Stampin'
