The Occasions catalog is brimming with so many wonderful new products!!

One of my favorite suites of products is the Sweet Soiree Suite.  As a member of the Global Events Council, I was asked by Stampin’ Up! to do a presentation on this suite at our November Onstage Live Convention.  I fell in love with the products in this suite, and once I started creating with them, I couldn’t stop!

Here’s a video made by Stampin’ Up! that showcases the products in this suite.   Just a note – I don’t use the Stamp-a-ma-jig that she refers to at the beginning of the video – so if you aren’t a fan, don’t worry!  I created some great projects without using it! 

I’ll be sharing all of my projects over the next week or so, and here is my first card:

This card features lots of products from the Sweet Soiree Product Suite – found on pages 10-13 of the Occasions Catalog – yes four pages!

I started with a Whisper White thick cardstock base – and added a layer of Berry Burst cardstock.  I used my formula for designer paper for the next layer – it’s cut 3″ across and 4″ high -this allows 12 pieces of this size from just one 12 x 12 piece of designer series paper!

I stamped the cake image and flower with Berry Burst ink – and cut the shapes out with the coordinating framelits.  I want to mention that you get duplicates of the flower framelit and also one of the leaf shapes – which makes it so easy for cutting multiples!

The little sprig of green is also cut using a framelit.

Here’s a close up of the focal point-

To finish the card, I stamped “for you” with Marina Mist ink and cropped the end to make a banner.  I also added a little bit of the beautiful new Berry Burst Metallic Edge ribbon and a snippet of Silver Mini Sequin Trim.

And here is the same card – I just switched up the designer paper, card base and ink. 

This card uses a base of Powder Pink, Flirty Flamingo ink for the cake, and Rich Razzleberry ink for the flower and word banner.
