Thought I was CASEing a great card I saw at Leadership Conference in January, and then I realized it was also in the Occasions Mini Catalog!  Oh, well – still thought I would share it with you in case you missed it like I did!

• Color scheme is a simple one – Whisper White, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight
• Butterfly image is stamped from Mixed Bunch and the new Blossom Punch to create both the main butterfly and the melon backing
• A light coat of Illuminate Top Coat Smooch Accent Ink over the entire stamped image makes the butterfly iridescent.
• Butterfly body is created with the Large Oval Punch
• Antennae are quilled strips of card stock
• Sentiment is from Loving Thoughts stamps set

I was so thrilled when I received this gorgeous invitation in the mail from Stampin' Up! – they've invited my husband and me to have breakfast with a Stampin' Up! corporate team member during the Disney Incentive Trip on May 1st!  I've already said "yes" – of course – but I'm really nervous!

In true Stampin' Up! style, the invitation is over the top gorgeous!  The envelope was made with Soft Suede card stock lined with some designer paper.  There are so many sweet elements to this – did you notice a brand new stamp set coming your way in June?  It's the So Saffron frame base under the stamp from the Tea Shoppe stamp set label which is under the "you're invited" stamp!  There's also an additional stamp from that new set; it's the flourish stamped in Soft Suede on Soft Suede card stock at the bottom of the invitation.  I actually received this stamp set at the Leadership Conference in January and haven't had a chance to play with it yet.  I'll be showing it off a little more very soon!

I have one final card to show you from my Convention Make & Takes – this one was the toughest to have it turn out just right, but I finally figured out to line the sentiment up with the blocks on my grid paper and to use my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, and voila – perfectly lined up words from It's Your Day stamp set!  Raining Flowers stamp set creates the pretty posies; the right one is popped up on Dimensionals as are all three centers.  I loved this interesting ribbon treatment.  We used a piece of Island Indigo 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon then centered some Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon on top.  Ribbons are held on with a staple at either end.  Color scheme is Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, So Saffron and Island Indigo.  So pretty!

Here's a couple of cards that were also part of our Convention Make & Take session.  This first card measures 3"x6" and has a More Mustard card stock base.  We were given Best Friends Forever stamp set and used some of the fabric left over from our Stampin' Card Keeper called Timeless Portrait Designer Fabric.  "Just Because" comes from It's Your Day stamp set and the Lace Ribbon Border Punch punched in Lucky Limeade card stock peeks out just a bit from the bottom of the image and is backed by Island Indigo card stock.  A Cherry Cobbler flower button from the Regals Designer Buttons with Linen Thread through the center makes a perfect accent.

This little card shows off lots of products – the Lace Ribbon Border Punch punches out Lucky Limeade card stock with Linen Thread tied through.  The sentiment comes from a small little set that coordinates with our Simply Sent Great Day kit; it's called It's Your Day and contains "just because" and "it's your day" in a super cute font.  A Basic Pearl decorates the base of the pretty flower from Raining Flowers stamp set.  Card base is Island Indigo.

Isn't this a darling birthday card?  It's made with My Digital Studio with an added Jewels Basic Rhinestone over the "i".  But the BEST part of this birthday card is that Stampin' Up! sent it to me on MY birthday — and inside it says that I am able to choose one item for 15% off during my birthday month!  Woo-hoo!  Who doesn't like birthday gifts!  Soooo this got me thinking about my wonderful customers.  I want so much for you all to feel as excited as I did when I received this terrific card.  Beginning today, please email me your birth date and I'll add you to my Birthday Card Special.  You'll receive a hand-stamped birthday card from me in addition to the very same gift that Stampin' Up! gave me – 15% off any one item in the catalog during your birthday month!  So email me now with your name, mailing address and birth date, and I'll be sure to add you to my Birthday Card Special List!

And here are the individual cards:

All of this was made from the Things I Love stamp set and the color combo Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip.  This is such a fun little set, and it's just perfect for combining in scrapbooks.  Think about doing an entire mini album about "Things I Love" and using this stamp set.
