Occasions Mini is Here!!

Hi there!  Yesterday was the start date of the new Occasions Mini.  Check it out for some awesome, new products!!  The Framelits and Edgelits Dies and really neat.  The Adorning Accents Dies have coordinating embossing folders!   Click here to download the Occasions Mini and shop my on-line store.  If you don't have a Demonstrator and would like to purchase Stampin' Up! products, please contact me at the information on the right side bar.  Thanks!

Well, yesterday I was able to get back into my routine of stamping with the Wednesday Girls.  Below is a project we made.  Marla, who is so creative, designed this cute card.  I have been meaning to make one of these hobby horses that I've seen on different blogs.  I was so excited that she brought it to the table for us to make.  Thanks, Marla!  The hobby horse was made using the Stocking Builder punch, which unfortunately is no longer available. 

My card base is Early Espresso with Well Worn DSP as the background layer. The diagonal piece is Very Vanilla and Island Indigo. The horse's head was punched from Crumb Cake with an Early Espresso muzzle.  Snip the pom poms off some trim and you have a bridle!  Now how clever is that?  A brad resembles the hardware.  Twine was looped on sticky strip then snipped and separated to make his mane.  The ears are from the bird punch.  His eye is a gem.  The stick is a choclate coated peppermint stick (yum) adhered between two "head" pieces.

Time for me to pick up the granddaughter.  Have a great day and thank you for coming by today!!
