Occasions Mini CarryOver Product List



The Occasions Mini Catalog will end in only two weeks on April 30! Today, Stampin' Up! has released their CarryOver Products List from the Occasions Mini Catalog. These are items that will continue to be available even though they are not in a Mini catalog or the Idea Book & Catalog.

Many of the items carrying over through the summer were expected (all the Big Shot products and punches), but I am ecstatic that some of the Seam Bindings, the Red Glimmer paper and trinkets were as well! However, I am quite sad that the super fun Pom Pom Trim and adorable Sweet Stitches Fabric Designer Brads are not. I will definitely be stocking up on those! We will have to wait until July 1 to see if any of the stamp sets will be in the new Idea Book & Catalog.

Click HERE to see the .pdfs in their full-size format. I hope that this helps you to plan your final Occasions Mini purchases.

Sweet Stitches

The paper I used was Sweet Stitches DSP. The big shot die is Fun Flowers. I also used a fabric button from Sweet Stitches.

Sweet Stitches

This is a 4 x 4 card made with the designer series paper Sweet Stitches. To make the spools I used the label punch and cut the ends to look like a spool.

Still trying out the Fred Bear Stamp

For this card i used the Welcome Neighbor Designer paper and some Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon. The cardstock doesn't show up in the picture but it is layered with crumb cake and baja breeze.

Springtime Vintage!

I do love this stampin up Springtime Vintage Paper. I also used a Beveled Windowpane with it. The ribbon is the new Baja Breeze seam binding that I love. There is also glitter on the flowers under the beveled windowpane. I used the Baby Blossom stamp set and the Framed Tulips textured embossing folder.

More of a Masculine Card


I am trying to come up with more birthday cards for boys and I am having a hard time. I like making cards that are more of a feminine nature. I do like the October Afternoon Campfire paper but I am still trying to come up with a card I like. I do not like this one but I am still working on it. I do have glitter on it and you cannot see it in the photo. (On the sun and flower) I do love glitter. I will keep working to make a card that I am happy with. Do you have any ideas for the campfire paper?

Valentines Love Song

Pocket Cart with Scalloped Envelop!

For this pocket you just cut off the two side tabs of the scalloped envelop to make the pocket.

Front of Morning Cup Gift

Morning Cup Gift


First you will need a piece of card stock 8" X 81/2". Score it at 3 1/2" and 41/2" on the 8" side as seen above. Fold your lines to make the wallet. On the inside cover, you will need a piece of DSP, or pattern paper, cut at 3 1/4" X 8 1/4". The whisper white paper is 2 3/4" X 7". I used the spiral edge punch on the left side. I also distressed mine with Pear Pizzaz and a sponge. Next, you will need your Big Shot and Scallop Envelope Die. Cut out 3 of the envelope from cardstock. I cut two scallops from DSP, only placing the paper over the part of the die I needed. Place lots of sticky strips on the back of your envelopes. The scallop part is folded forward rather than back over this side as you would if you were putting a card inside.

Gum Valentine Gift

This is a treat that I am giving the ladies that are coming to my Loving You Creative Card class Thursday, February 3rd at 1:00. We will be making 3 cards with the items in the new Mini Occasions catalog. I love everything in that catalog!

Valentines Day Cards




For these cards I used the free rub on sheet that stampin up gave out to the demonstrators. These cards are 4x4 and fit in the little metal tin that was in the clearance section of stampin up. I did decorate the tin and put the cards in for a gift.
