I'm so happy you had time to stop by my blog.  Today, we are showcasing new products from the Occasions and Sale-a-bration Mini Catalog.

My first project today is a card made with items from both catalogs.

The awesome filmstrip is from the new On Film Framelits Dies in the Occasions Mini (#132969).  I used Pear Pizzazz, Always Artichoke, Early Espresso and Whisper White card stock.  Embellishments include Early Espresso 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon (126871) and Hung Up Cute Clips (129389).

The See Ya Later stamp set (133536) and Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (133520) are both from the Sale-a-bration Catalog.  The stamped imaged was colored with Always Artichoke and Early Espresso Markers.  I also sponged some Always Artichoke ink over the embossed card stock to help those dots pop.  

 My second project uses my favorite new die and other fun new products.  This is a cute gift wedding gift bag.

The bag was made from a sheet of our Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum (133364).  This comes in gold as well, but I'm partial to silver.  I trimmed the vellum down to 12" x 11" and scored the 11" side at 2-1/2" & 8-1/2", then 4-3/4" and 7-1/4" on the 12" side.  Cut the side flaps and assemble with Sticky Strip.  The finished dimensions of the bag are 4-3/4" high, 6" wide and 2-1/2" deep.  Perfect for giving cards or other gifts.  

I used our Silver 1/8" Ribbon for the handles and tag.  

A quick view of the back.

My favorite part of this project is the tag! I used the new Angled Tag Topper Punch (133323) with our Silver Foil Sheets (132178) to make the tag base.  The flower was made using my new favorite Spiral Flower Die (129379) and Whisper White card stock.  The sentiment is from the Love & Laughter stamp set (125477) and is stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed in Silver on our regular Vellum Card Stock.  A few Rhinestone Jewels finish it off.  

Don't you love how our product coordinate so well?!!  When you give a wedding gift, you need to give a card as well, so here's the matching card and my 3rd project for today:

I also used the Love & Laughter stamp set on this card and it's from our main catalog.  We have a wonderful new wedding set in the Occasions catalog which is on my wish list - Perfect Couple (133197) which is also wonderful for anniversary projects.  

I used a little of the scrap vellum from the bag, some Silver Glimmer Paper and Silver ribbon.  The wedding cake is embossed in silver and a few rhinestones on the top add the finishing touch.

12" X 12" EARLY ESPRESSO ALBUM ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

The 12" x 12" Early Espresso Album (item 127685) must make an early exit. Our supplier will not be able to continue to produce this product without a significant cost increase to us, and consequently, to you. We have ultimately decided to discontinue this album.  Our supply is running low so order soon.  

Champagne Glimmer Paper is still available!  Even though it's not listed in the carry over from the Holiday Mini catalog, it's still available for order.   #127885

Here are the last of the Stamporee photos:

Reta and Laura - not shown are Rosamond, Kathy and Faye - where were you ladies when I was taking photos?  

Here is my swap:

I used the For the Birds stamp set. The DSP is from the new Print Poetry DSP Stack in the Spring Mini Catalog.  

Here are the rest of the projects:

This super cool teen boy card was cased from a swap I received from Colleen Vassos.  

This adorable wedding card is on a Scallop Square die cut piece of Wisteria Wonder CS.  The background is stamped with an image from the Elements of Style stamp set and the cake is from the Love and Laughter set.  Oops, I've lost a rhinestone on top of the cake.  

I found another rhinestone for this close up.  The heart is mounted on one of our new Bottle Caps (smashed in the Big Shot).  A little Silver Glimmer Paper adds just the right amount of sparkle for a special day.  

This congratulations card uses the new Patterned Occasions set from the SAB catalog.  The DSP is also featured in our SAB mini.  Spend $50 and you can get either the stamp set or DSP FREE!!!  

This card is from one of my favorite swaps I received at convention.  It was designed by Evelyn Wood and uses the brayering technique on Glossy White Card Stock.  The stamps used were Serene Silhouettes and From My Heart.
