A Fan made with the Rosette Die

This is a sample of a card done at my recent team meeting. It was the most popular card. The fan was made using a piece of SAB Designer Paper (Everyday Enchantment) and the new Designer Rosette Bigz XL Die #125594 with the Big Shot. After making the fan I inserted a piece of hemp and a SAB Brad from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack.

New Product Sample-Framelits Die

Happy New Year!! Sorry I have not posted in a few days I have been very busy with my church job and unfortunately I also got ill and was out of commission for a few days. I am feeling a little better and hope to get my strength back soon.

Today I wanted to show you a card I made using a NEW and EXCITING product from the Occasions Mini Catalog that goes live January 4....the Framelit Die. This card was done using the Labels Collection. This thin, wafer-like design of these dies lets you see where you are placing the design before you cut. Each set comes with 6 different size dies....great for layering/matting.

Did you notice some other new items? The coordinating stamp set....Apothecary Art and the Pleated Baja Breeze Satin Ribbon. Both items are also included in the new mini catalog. Do you like the designer paper? It is an upcoming Sale-A-Bration item. You can get a package of this beautiful designer paper with a $50 purchase beginning January 24.

Hopefully I will feel well enough to post more samples over the next few days. I know you will be excited to see all the new items.

Spoiler Alert: If you are a Hostess Club Member this is one of the cards you will be making at your next class.

Items Used for this card include:

Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze, Lucky Limeade CS

Baja Breeze & Black Stazon Ink Pads

Baja Breeze and Lucky Limeade Markers

Labels Collection Framelit with Big Shot

Baja Breeze Pleated Satin Ribbon
