Occasion Mini
The Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Collection begins March 1 – May 31, 2008 . . . and I wanted to share some of the adorable stamps that I get to play with ahead of its release. I’m featuring two of the Mini’s super cuties, 'Big on Spring' stamp set and some absolutely sumptuous 'Summer Picnic' Designer Series Paper. Think cherries, apples, dots and stripes.
MINI energises peoples’ lives with maximal experiences and a minimal footprint. Small in size and iconic in design, the first Mini, built in 1959, delivered a thrill all its own. Today, MINI is applying these ideas across urban life. The Occasions Mini Catalog is coming to an end on April 30th. But, the GOOD news is that the following products will continue to be available for purchase after April 30th through June 31st.how EXCITING. OCCASION MINI-FLAG Back to Outdoor OCCASION MINI-FLAG.

'Let the Cute Begin' is an understatement of the possibilities of this stamp. Sure, on a card it’s pretty cutie-o-so (my mother’s language, but there it goes popping into my head again). However, imagine how adorable it would be on a onesie! I began with a Bashful Blue card base and layered some fun, dotted Summer Picnic designer paper on top. Then ran a vertical banner with a coordinating Summer Picnic paper, matted on Pumpkin Pie.
The main image was inked in Basic Gray on Whisper White card stock. I now use Basic Gray almost all the time over black . . . softer but still crisp. I then inked it again and stamped it on the tiny orange polka dot paper (also Summer Picnic). The onesie was snipped out and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Very sweet. Using a Real Red Marker, I continued the polka dot theme by dotting the letters (but how fun they would be to fill in, stripe, or watercolor with markers, too)! I then matted the 'cute' image on Pumpkin Pie and Bashful Blue.
For the final details, I pulled out Stampin’ Up!’s Build-A-Brad kit (just can’t keep these versatile guys in the drawer) and created custom brads with the same orange polka dot paper I used for the onesie. I then added just a snippet of Pumpkin Pie Striped Grosgrain Ribbon above and below the main image. This was such a quick and simple card!

Fabulous cookbook and Phenomenal Mini
Posted by Jane H. on 9th Aug 2019
I am so pleased with Nora's new cookbook. The book itself is well thought out. I love how she has made a special flat opening in the front of the book so that the book lies flat when using it to cook and try out a recipe. She has perfectly organized it according to seasons and gives many professional ideas on how to use her base pieces and minis for serving. Love it!
