"SUMMER MINI CATALOG"

I always love it when a new "Mini" comes out. It's so exciting to see all the new stamp sets and accessories. From today until August 31st you will be able to order from this catalog. I think one of the big favorites will be the "Island Oasis" designer paper and the "Tropical Party" stamp set that will be great to use for all of your summer parties. Also, there is a wheel and stamp set that will be perfect for 'July 4th" cards and party favors. And, don't forget Dad by using the "King of the Grill" set.

If you would like a Summer Mini just email me at csoehler@bellsouth.net and I'll be glad to send you one.

"SWEET PEA" DESIGNER PAPER AND EMBELLISHMENTS

We learned earlier this week that the "Sweet Pea" designer paper and "Sweet Pea Stitched Felt" has already sold out from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I'm sure alot of you are sad, just like me.
These are some cards made by my friend, Bernice M., and designed by her demonstrator and my good friend, Karen H. The cards are made from the "Sweet Pea" designer paper and embellished with the "Sweet Pea Stitched Felt". Even though we can't use the same designer paper or embellishments we can use the design of the cards to CASE (Copy and Steal Everything) our own cards. Thanks Bernice and Karen for sharing your cards.

Be sure to check out all the other pretty stamp sets and accessories in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Tomorrow is the last day to order from this Mini.

ONE MORE "FIFTH AVENUE" CARD

As you can tell, I really enjoy using the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. This is a simple card that can be used in so many ways - Mother's Day, Birthday, Sympathy, Thinking of You, etc. The card is made with one of the new corner punches in the Occassions Mini Catalog. To step it up a notch just use the coordinating punch that was free in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. (Be looking for this punch in the new 2010-2011 Catalog. I feel sure it will be there.)

Remember that the Fifth Avenue Floral set can be purchased at a 20% discount until April 30th. Other sets that can be purchased with the discount are:

Greenhouse Garden - Page 94*

Flower Fancy - Page 101*

Trendy Trees - Page 112*

To purchase any of these sets just click on the shopping cart on the right of my blog.

"TAKE ADVANTAGE OF APRIL PROMOTION"

I love the combination of yellow and black. I also love the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. You will see me feature it several times this month because it's featured in Stampin's Up!s "Two-Step into Spring" promotion. Through April 30th you can purchase this set along with 3 more two-step stampin' sets at 20% off. Check out the promotion by clicking on the shopping cart on the right of my blog.

This is a quick and easy card to make at your camp.To save time it's a good idea to go ahead and punch the borders on all of the cards except one. This gives the stamper a chance to use the punch but it's a real time saver, especially if you only have one punch. Also, don't forget to stamp something inside the card as well as something on the envelope. This takes your cardmaking to the "next level".
