Before the craft room/office remodel began, I had a chance to play around with some of my new 2016 Occasions (Spring) Catalog products. As a demonstrator I was able to order from this catalog a month early – on December 3rd. But I also received a few products as gifts and/or prizes when I attended the November 2015 OnStage event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The following card was one that I made with the stamp sets, Apple of My Eye & Timeless Treasures.

Measurements:

  • Whisper White pre-cut and scored note card (5" – 3-1/2")
  • Whisper White card stock – approx. 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" scrap for stamping & punching out circle
  • Pumpkin Pie card stock – approx. 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" scrap for stamping & punching out circle
  • Gold Metallic thread – approx. 14"

The unpeeled orange is just a 2" circle of Pumpkin Pie card stock that I ran through the Big Shot two times (with Tab 2 open on the platform) with the Softly Falling embossing folder. After embossing, I sponged the edge with Pumpkin Pie ink to darken and create a 3-D spherical appearance.

The sliced orange I made by "stamping off" on scrap paper, and then stamping onto the white scrap piece to get that lighter shade of orange. I punched out the image, added the loops of thread on the back, attached it to the card with Dimensionals, and then added the Wink of Stella "glimmer in a pen" to make it look wet and sugary.

I wish I could play around more with my new products, but it's on to the official day 4 of the room renovation! I'm hoping to share some photos soon that I've been taking these past few days. It's an amazing thing to see how fast a room can transform! Well, some days seems faster than others. Sometimes shopping trips to set more electrical boxes or paint can slow things down.

I think some of the new cabinetry will be going in today. At least, that's the plan – along with painting the ledge and window trim. Then installing the flooring is on the schedule for tomorrow. Maybe I'll even get to paint my new Stamp-N-Storage pieces tomorrow, too!!

It's just all too exciting, and I feel like Christmas has already arrived for me!
