Occasions Mini Cards / Tarjetas de Occasions Mini

DSCN4947

I love the new Occasions Mini Catalog and this card show some of my favorite products.

I used the Scallop Trim Corner punch on the corners first, then I used the Sale-A-Bration Scallop Trim Border Punch The border punch is so beautiful and has a coordinating corner punch. These make such a great border all the way around the cardstock.

Check out this post for more information on the border punches.

The flowers are new in the Occasions Mini (Sweet Pea Stitched Felt 117266 Price: $7.95). This package comes with 52 pieces of flowers and leaves.

Both designs of Designer Series paper are from the new, HUGE stack of DSP (Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack 117161 Price: $24.95). It comes with 48 sheets total (2 each of 24 double sided)

This lovely bird and leaves are punched using the newly designed punch (2 Step Bird Punch 117191 Price: $15.95). I created a highlight by punching the bird twice once in Taken with Teal, then with So Saffron; then layering the So Saffron under the Teal. The little berries are from the Stitched felt (Sweet Pea Stitched Felt 117266 Price: $7.95). The DSP is also from the fabulous Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack (117161 $24.95)

TIP: Use the Designer Series Paper as your guide to coordinating colors. For both of these cards I used the DSP as my color inspiration and let the Taken with Teal pop.
