As promised, here is another Sneak Peek from the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalogue which is effective January 5th. Have you received your Occasions and Sale-A-brations Minis yet? If not, request your copies now.
This card features the Botanical Gazette Suite. This suite features the Nature Walk Stamp set and the Botanical Gazette designer series paper both of which I used for this card. The colours featured in the suite are Early Espresso, So Saffron, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy, Marina Mist and Old Olive.
The Nature Walk stamp set is a set of 7. The other images include a bird, butterfly, birdcage, a row of eggs and a botanical periodical in addition to the flower and bee that I stamped for this card. I know that you are going to love creating with this set!
For this card, I used So Saffron, Not Quite Navy and Very Vanilla. A little more “shabby chic” than my usual style but I just couldn’t stop adding Basic Pearls once I started especially since I was also using the Victoria Crochet Trim.
Can you spot the new Occasions Mini embellishments on the card? I used a Vanilla Rosette and added a pearl center. These Rosettes come in three sizes and this is the middle size.
I also used a Beveled Windowpane on top of the stamped bee and threaded the crochet trim underneath the windowpane to hold it in place.The Beveled Windowpanes also come in three sizes and I used the largest size. You can see a closer view below.

Need a simple gift packaging idea? I love these little mini lunch sacks. Sized at 3-1/2″ x 6-5/8″ x 2-1/4″ the mini lunch sacks are just right for small gifts and candy and they are just the right size for easy decorating.
Here, I used the Candy Cane Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper with Baja Breeze and Whisper White cardstocks. First, I cut out scallop strips of the three papers with the Tasteful Trim XL die seen on page 17 of the Holiday Mini Catalogue. I adhered these strips to the front of the lunch sack slightly overlapping each one.
After stamping the to/from Noel Tag from the Gifted stamp set in Baja Breeze ink, I punched it out with the 1-3/8″ circle punch. I layered it onto a 2″ circle of Candy Cane Christmas paper made using the Circles #2 Big Shot die and then added a final layer of Baja Breeze cardstock punched with the 2-3/8″ scallop circle.
The final touch was a small bow of Whisper White taffeta ribbon at the top.
This is a really easy project if you need a package for little gifts and token. And the Gift Packaging Bundle is on sale for 20% off right now.

This card is not my usual simple style. I don’t often add lot of layers and adornment to a card but I did for this one. The big Old Olive striped ribbon really adds to the Over the Top feel of this card.
First, I ran a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock through the Big Shot die-cutting machine using the Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder. Next, I adhered the wide and narrow strips of Jolly Holiday designer series paper to the embossed piece and ran it through the Big Shot again using the Top Note die. This was so much simpler than cutting each piece separately and then trying to align each of them.
I added layered squares of Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla cardstocks angling them as a diamond between the points of the Top Note. After stamping and punching an Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler ornament, I added them to the card with dimensionals.
Finally, I tied a big bow from the Old Olive striped ribbon and added it to the side of the card with a dimensional. A step up from my usual cards and definitely a card that needs to be hand delivered. I hope you like it!
