THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX WHEN CREATING CARDS....

HEY BLOGGIES,

Are you enjoying seeing all the PRETTY NEW THINGS in the OCCASIONS CATALOG ONLINE??  me too!!

AND I am working on my swaps for Leadership which starts this Weds. evening in HOUSTON!!  I am so excited that it is just 50 miles from me so that I can attend.  This will be my FIRST EVER STAMPIN' UP EVENT to attend and I am really excited about it.

I saw a really really REALLY CUTE stamp set that is coming out in our Sale-a-Bration event on JAN. 28TH and because I am a demonstrator I was able to earn it early so I could show you some creations with it.  I can't show you the stamp set, but I can show you my creation:

I am trading large tags instead of cards this time.  The words are from the Sale-a-Bration set called "See Ya Later".  BUT I substituted a LARGER gator on my card instead of the little one that comes in this stamp set.

I used the gator from ZOO BABIES stamp set and really like the size of it.  I added some cherry cobbler dazzling details on his heart.  What else new do you see here?  A DECORATIVE DOTS embossing folder from Sale-a-Bration as well.  I thought it looked bumpy like a 'gator or frog's skin, and I rubbed crumb cake ink on the bumps for more definition.

I cut out large scallops with my BIG SHOT for the edges.

ANOTHER NEW ITEM from the OCCASIONS CATALOG is the STARBURST FRAMELITS  DIES SET.  There are 5 graduated sizes in the set.  It coordinates with the STARBURST SAYINGS stamp set and you can even bundle and save 15% by purchasing both of them with the BUNDLE #134817 (wood) OR BUNDLE #134818 (Clear).

Between the dots, the scallops and the starbursts, this tag says ALLIGATOR all the way, doesn't it??!!

Thanks for stopping by.  IF you don't have a demonstrator, you can click my signature below and it will take you to my store when you can purchase these new Occasions items or the Zoo Babies from the Annual catalog.
