Build A Blossom Stamp Set & Blossoms Petal Punch

As promised, I will be showcasing some cards using some of my favorites from the new Occassions Mini Catalog.  A couple of them is the Build A Blossom Stamp Set and the Blossoms Petal Punch.  At first, I didn't think this will be on my list of "Gotta Have Items" but since I earned an incentive from Stampin' Up for a promotion, I decided to grab it.

I saw a card by Mary Fish that helped my decision to get these items so I decided to CASE it but changed it up a bit to suit my personal taste.  I added a few more of gotta have items such as the Pompom trim and the Vintage Flower Adornments.

Here is Mary Fish's version that inspired me for this card.  Hers was a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" card but I decided to keep mine at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".

Supplies Used For This Card:

Paper:  Whisper White Cardstock, Pretty In Pink Cardstock, Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, Melon Mambo DSP (from the Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack), Window Sheets

Ink:  Melon Mambo Classic Ink and Old Olive Classic Ink

Accessories:  Basic Rhinestones, Melon Mambo Pompom Trim, Blossoms Petal Punch, Snail Adhesive and Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Mini Glue Dots

Stamp Set:  Build A Blossom and Create A Cupcake

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and watch out for more posts from me.  That's one of the things I am striving for this year is to post more on my blog so I hope to be able to do that.

See you all soon...

My first project for UStamp: Year End Blow Out just got posted today and I wanted to give you a sneak peek.  This is a Meander Book and a matching card with envelope.  The book is a mini album that uses a full 12 x 12 paper for its base.  Lots of spaces to put pictures and journaling.

I'm Back to Blogging!

Sorry for my extended absence from my blog. Life kinda got in the way and November was just a busy busy month.

My family and I went on a vacation to Singapore for 10 days and when we got back, I had to play catch up on all my club, workshop and UStamp commitments.

So, while I've been gone from the blogging world, I've made a few projects. One of which is my UStamp project and here is the sneak peek for that:

1st Ustamp project:
