Today's the day! We can order from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog. I've pictured the catty with bookmarks I made to give away to my customers with their new catties. I got the idea from Brenda Quintana, just changed them up a bit for my needs. Here's a link to her original ones on Splitcoast. The new colors are Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder. I used the new set, Pennant Parade and coordinating Petite Pennants Builder punch on the bookmarks. Also, the ribbon is new 1/2 inch Chocolate Chip Scallop Dots grosgrain ribbon. And the bottom row of flowers is from the Printed Petals stamp set and I just colored them in with the new In-Color Stampin' Write markers.

PPA#56 Divine Textures

This is my submission for the redesigned look over at PPA here.
I was immediately drawn to the black fabric with pink and green flowers so I used that for my inspiration.
I started with running the Basic Black card stock thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder. I also used the Vintage Wallpaper folder on the Melon Mambo piece and cut it out with my Coluzzle circle cutter. I stamped the large flower from Vintage Vogue in Basic Black on Very Vanilla and cut it out. I added a green Circle Ice Rhinestone brad to the center and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals.I stamped the smaller flower from that set in Melon Mambo, cut it out and added a silver brad to the center. Pear Pizzaz was used to stamp the flower from Printed Petals and then I punched in out with the XL 1 3/4 inch Scallop circle punch. A piece of Love Letter DSP was punched out with the XL 1 3/4 inch Circle punch. The sentiment from Vintage Vogue was stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla. Finally, some 1/4 inch Basic Black grosgrain ribbon was threaded thru a silver Flower ribbon slide from the Hodgepodge Hardware kit. Here's my recipe:

Another Elegant Soiree Card

Since I had the Elegant Soiree DSP out, I made this simple, yet cute birthday card.
The base is Soft Suede then some Crumb Cake then three different patterns from Elegant Soiree DSP. Happy Birthday from Perfect Punches was stamped in Soft Suede, punched with the 2 by 1 3/8 inch XL Oval punch and trimmed down. A Soft Suede piece was punched with that same Oval punch. The tiny flower from Pretty Petals was stamped with Baha Breeze on Baha Breeze card stock then punched with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack. A gold brad was added to the center of the flower. That entire piece was popped up with Stampin dimensionals. Finally, a piece of 3/8 inch Marina Mist taffeta ribbon was added to the bottom.

PPA#53 Conord Crush Thank You

This is my take on the Monochromatic Color challenge over at PPA here.
With one of the new In Colors being purple, I thought of that right away! So I used Concord Crush for the base of the card. I then punched out 4 squares from the 1 1/4 inch large square punch. I put them together and stamped the big flower from Printed Petals in Concord Crush. I layered that onto a piece of Perfect Plum and added a bit of the 1/2 inch Concord Crush stitched-poly ribbon. I stamped the "thank you" from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Concord Crush. That was punched out with the Word Window punch and layered onto a piece of Perfect Plum punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally,  the little flower from Printed Petals was stamped in Concord Crush, punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack and popped up with a Stampin dimensional.

SC271 Fun & Fast Notes Get Well

Here's my take on the Splitcoast sketch #291 here.
The card stock base is Melon Mambo and I ran that thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions embossing folder. Then I added a piece of Tempting Turquoise DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I stamped the image from Fun and Fast Notes in Basic Black and colored it in with Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango and Tempting Turquoise Classic Stamp pads and blender pens. I stamped Dot Dot Dot in Tangerine Tango on that card stock and punched it out with the 5-Petal flower punch. The middle flower was Tempting Turquoise punched with the Boho Blossoms punch. The littlest flower is from Printed Petals and was stamped in Melon Mambo and punched with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack. A gold brad was added to the center. Finally, a piece of 1/4 inch Whisper White grosgrain finishes it off.
