On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me.... Happy 1st of December guys. Did you all get to open up your first advent calendar door? There's nothing more fun then being allowed to eat chocolate first thing in the morning!!
So today, I was tossing up chasing some Christmas cards but I thought I might share have some more sneak peeks from the Occasions catalogue instead... after all Christmas is still 24 days away ;-)
I thought it might be time to share some more from the Sweet Little Something stamp set and that gorgeous Bunny again. This time I changed it up and went for a more male card:
Perfect card for a first birthday or to celebrate the birth of a little boy. I really do love how awesome this bunny stamps and how different colours work in different ways together. This one for example is stamped in Smokey Slate for step 1 and step 2, not stamping off or anything. And the the third stamp is stamped in Basic Black. The two Smokey slate stamps add just the amount of depth and definition that the black just pulls it all together.
The bow was made with lots of varying size loops, then stuck together with some Tombow, using our new Night of Navy cord ribbon. It really is beautifully soft.
If you would like a copy of your very own Sale-a-Bration catalogue, please send me an email by clicking HERE, with your name and address, and I will get one in the post to you ASAP.
And even though I'm currently overseas, you can still shop on my online store, and each order will go into this months prize draw for the Colour Me Happy Stamp Set and Card kit. Just don't forget to add my December hostess code: XXXXXXX to be eligible.
Happy Crafting,
Chlo

Onstage Display Stamper Blog Hop - Day 7: Concertina Fold Card
And here we are at our finally day. Day 7 of the Onstage Display Stamper Blog Hop and what an incredible time we've all had.
I did warn you at the beginning that your wish list for the new Occasions Catalogue might grow longer longer with each hop. And after today's finale, I expect it to grow longer still.
So my final share is a gorgeous Concertina Fold card, that is super easy to make but looks amazing in real life. I have made a few of these for children's birthday parties, and have put the birthday boy or girls name on them. It's perfect when you have a child with an unusual name, as I expect they get very few personalised gifts. Today I left this one with just Happy Birthday so it could be used for anyone:
The card itself is made up with just one piece of patterned paper and I used the Petal Passion designer series paper, as I wanted the letters to be the hero of this card and this paper males a perfect background. Being black and white, it allows the stamping to shine and the letters to sparkle.
The stamps used are some of the flowers from the Perennial Birthdays stamp set, and I choose 6 different shades of pinks and purples to give an ombre effect. Pairing those stamped panels with coordinating cardstock and it really does make the whole effect beautiful.
This card folds nice and flat and will fit into a normal size envelope, so can be easily posted to that special person.
And that, ladies and gentleman, is that. I can not thank you all enough for the lovely comments you have left and I really do hope I have given you some inspiration and ideas.
The new Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues really are amazing and I know you are all going to fall in love with them as much as we have!!
So its time for me to say farewell for now, but I really do hope you'll visit me again very soon, but for now it's time for you to take one last hop over to see Dawn Olchefske stunning creation.

Onstage Display Stamper Blog Hop - Day 5: Perennial Birthdays Scrapbook Page
Happy Saturday Blog Hoppers. We are now on the finally corner or our amazing, creative journey and I'm really excited to share my day 5 creation with you all.
Today I wanted to share a scrapbook page that I made using use some of our gorgeous NEW Petal Passion designer series paper and a few stamps from the Perennial Birthday set:
This gorgeous photo of myself with my daughter was taken at our beach one lovely Saturday morning and I just love it. The colour are gorgeous and my darling little girl just looks so relaxed and happy. I wanted the page to be just as simple and beautiful so as not to compete with the photo, but enhance it.
It's funny how I'm not a gold girl, but lately I just love adding pops of gold to nearly everything I create. And the gold glimmer letters against the stark black and white cardstock and paper really do the job.
It's a little hard to see in the photo, but the black cardstock actually has the hardwood stamped in versamark and then heat set with clear embossing powder.
I stamped the flowers from Perennial Birthdays in versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I used my trusty snips to fussy cut them out.
My daughter loved this layout so much, she decided it shouldn't sit in the family album but wants it framed and placed on her wall. Guess I know what she's getting for Christmas!

And now it's that time again, where I send you over to visit Dawn Olchefske and see what amazing creation she has to share today!

Onstage Display Stamper Blog Hop - Day 3: Heart Happiness Card in a Box
Hooray for day 3 of the Onstage Display Stamper Blog Hop. How crazy cool has it been so far!! I'm always blown away by the talent pool within Stampin' Up! demos. These girls are the cream of the crop.
Today I thought I would change it up a bit and give you a card and a box...
I know card in boxes are fairly old school these days, but they still have such a wow factor and when I saw the NEW Heart Happiness stamp set, I knew it would be perfect for this time of card.
I used the same two heart stamps and used both gold embossing powder as well as black memento ink. The smaller hearts come from the little heart die which is in the Mini Treat Bag die. I used the layering hearts to cut a few glimmer ones and then tied it all together with the "Love" sentiment found in the Sunshine Wishes die set.
The best part of this fun little card is that they fold flat and will fit into a standard size envelope and so can be posted to anyone who is special enough to receive it.

And so once again it is time to hop on over to visit Dawn Olchefske blog and take a peek at what exciting creation she has to share with us today.
Thank you for popping by and look forward to seeing you again tomorrow!

Onstage Display Stamper Blog Hop - Day 2: Petal Passion DSP and Perennial Birthday
Welcome back to day two of our Onstage Display Stamper blog hop and I hope you've enjoyed yourself so far. The girls have made some amazing displays and I don't know about you, but I know my Occasions catalogue wishlist is growing.
Today I thought I would share two cards that I made with our NEW black and white designer series paper, called Petal Passion.
The first card I left the paper as it was and just added a little silver glimmer boarder and a sentiment from another NEW stamp set called Perennial Birthday.
But for the second card I wanted to show how versatile this patterned paper was and I decided to use my new Stampin' Blends and coloured it in
Wow what a difference the Blends made. The card layout is the same and I kept the sentiment the same too, but just adding some colour to the paper has made this card go from lovely to stunning.
I can see myself using this DSP a lot and can't wait to try other ways to add colour to it.
Thank you for blog hoping along with us once again. I hope you are looking forward to day 3 as much as I am! But it's that time again to head over to the amazing Dawn Olchefske and see what amazing creation she has today!
