Another one




Card Stock: Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip, Afternoon Tea (new designer paper in the 2008 Occasions Mini)
Embellishments: Silver Brads, New Chocolate Chip Twill Ribbon

I really love the new chocolate chip and old olive twill ribbon in the 2008 Occasions Mini. It's very fine - I was expecting it to be more coarse. Very nice addition to the ribbon collection

And last for tonight, but certainly not least



I used the Scallop Circle Punch for this Dahlia Fold!! Doesn't that make a neat variation?

Here's another NEW item in the 2008 Ocassions Mini - the Carousel Notes (page 7). These sell for $11.95 and include 12 cards in Groovy Guava, Soft Sky and Wild Wasabi and also 12 Chocolate Chip Envelopes. They measure approximately 6" in diameter. I had fun with these - I actually copied these almost exactly from someone on Splitcoast Stampers




Stamp Set: Sincere Salutations
Card Stock: Groovy Guava Carousel Notes, Afternoon Tea Designer Paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Embellishments: Chocolate Chip Twill Ribbon
Punches: 1/8" punch for the holes in the scallops. I used the piercer to pierce around the edge and cut out the flowers and mounted them with dimensionals
