Spiral Flower Die - Framed Art & Burlap Wreath

Over the next few posts I will be sharing a few of my projects I presented at our team day in February.
I presented projects using the Spiral Flower Die from the Occasions Catalogue.  It was love at first sight for me with this die.  I could see so many projects before I even got my hands on it.  Today I am showing two more projects, my framed art & my burlap wreath.

I found the frame at a second hand shop & it had broken glass.  I had no use for the glass anyway.  I went to the local hardware store & got them to match a sample pot of paint to Pool Party card stock.  I think they did a terrific job on the colour match don't you?  I have used the Spiral Flower Die with the Gold Foil Sheets, Vellum & Cardstock.  I also used the new Banner framelits & Sale-A-Bration Twine for this project.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from a new stamp set in the Occasions Catalogue called Another Great Year.

I have used the same roses on the wreath as I used on the frame, except this time I sponged them in Gold Encore Ink.  I cut out some Gold foil leaves with the Secret Garden Framleits & used the 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon to cover a styrofoam wreath.

Sale-A-Bration Banner Blast Birthday Card

We had a special birthday here last week - my daughter turned 10!  Every year she gets a card made with the gorgeous new Sale-A-Bration products.  This year I chose to use the Banner Blast stamp set & combined it with one of her all-time favourites, the cupcake punch & stamp set.  The best thing is you can get this stamp set free when you order $90 worth of product.  In fact if you ordered just 3 of the products I used on this card you would be there already!

I really like the new Hardwood background stamp from the NEW Occasions catalogue.  It is quite versatile & looks great as a background, don't you think?  The Occasions catalogue is jam packed full of lovely new stamps, tools & bundles, plus there are a few carry over items from the Holiday catalogue too.  If you would like your very own copy of the new catalogues feel free to contact me so I can get them in the mail for you.

Showcasing the Cupcake Builder Punch & Create a Cupcake Stamp Set

Today I have been making lots of cards using the cupcake punch and stamp set.  Gotta love how these two work together!  I am aiming to create a collection of simple cards to create some inspiration for new stampers. 

The first two cards are cased from one given to me by Tracy Penn, my favourite Stampin' Up Demonstrator! Her website is here: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/tracypenn/

These were both created using Brights DSP, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight & Whisper white. The cases are stamped in Early Espresso ink. The larger square from the Scallop Square Duo Bigz Die was used as a base. 

This card was made using Subtles DSP, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink & Pink Pirouette inks and cardstock. I have cased my own card from an earlier post & have added some sparkles and little pearls as well. 

This card is made using the cupcake base as the basket and the topping as clouds.  The base is bashful blue embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.

And... finally a handbag card using the base of the cupcake and the scallop oval punch.  Once again I have used the large square from the Scallop Square Duo Bigz die as a base. I used Real Red, Brights DSP and Whisper White and added some rhinestones on the handbags for a bit of bling.

I would love to have a few more to add to this collection - just need some inspiration.... any suggestions would be much appreciated!
