Wherever You Go

Have you heard that the new Occasions Mini catalog is now available?!  That's right, and if I was truly a gung-ho business minded demonstrator (I'm a gung-ho stamper, does that count?) I would be showing you a card today made with all new goodies from this mini... however since I don't have them quite yet, instead I'm showing you a card that was entirely inspired by the first sample in the new Mini (p. 4).  The sample was just gorgeous and I couldn't stop looking at it so I finally sat down to use that to my advantage.  Besides, I'm just glad to be stamping!  {Ooh, I just remembered, the Wisteria Wonder twine IS from this mini!!}

My version uses an old retired set called Asian Artistry.  The colors I kept the same, which are Wisteria Wonder (a current In Color) and Soft Suede with Very Vanilla.  I also used many of the same elements like the Wisteria Wonder ruffled ribbon and twine, plus the scallop border punch, Lattice embossing folder and even a mini library clip.  I almost added a pearl or two on there then decided to leave well-enough alone. 

So go check out the Mini Catalog, let me know if something grabs your attention that you can't live without, and don't miss that gorgeous sample.  Then let me know what you think (about my card, the sample, your favorite product, whatever!) 

Thanks for visiting!

  1. You really made the Wisteria Wonder look beautiful! I didn't like it at first, but I must say, it's growing on me. Beautiful card!
