Here's a classic beauty from the Crazy About You stamp set in the Occasions catalog. The flowers are punched from the Medallion and Petal punches. The background paper is Confetti Celebration specialty paper. Designed by Suzie Wood.
I love Dahlias, they are such a pretty flower and the Regarding Dahlias stamp set has the most beautiful image in it. I'm sad to see it retire. Here's a fun card created with the set and the Flashback designer paper. Designed by Veronica.
This pretty flower card comes from the Petal Potpourri stamp set and medallion punch bundle in the Occasions catalog. Such a pretty stamp set and it is not being carried over into the new catalog, which means it's gone as of June 2...bummer:( Other stamp sets on this card are Crazy About You and Something Lacy.
In photography, bokeh (Originally /ˈboʊkɛ/boh-kay) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light". ~ Wikipedia
In stamping Bokeh is known as a "Wicked Cool Technique" hahaha. It's also "wicked easy" (as we say here in Boston). Super fun, all it requires is some circle punches, ink pads and a bold stamp set. In video we're using the Adventure Awaits stamp set, that is in the Stampin Up Occasions Catalog and not being carried over into the new catalog...so you'll want to get this before June 2.
Here's fun party in a card featuring the Stampin Up Celebrate Today stamp set and Balloon frame lit bundle. Also uses the Birthday Bash specialty paper in the Occasions catalog. Design by Claire Daly.

Awwwww nothing says Happy New Baby like astinkin' cute octopus! You know what I'm saying? Too flipping adores. Mr. Octopus is from the Stampin Up Sea Street stamp set. The banners are from the Maritime paper and Banner punch and framelits.
Designed by Veronica Zalis.
Today's video is a beautiful window card created with the Stampin Up Indescribable Gift stamp set in the Occasions catalog. This technique of blending on vellum is soft, and easy, and a spin on the "stained glass" technique.
Note: The 2015 Occasions catalog is ending June 2, 2015 and this stamp set is not being carried over into the new catalog. Be sure to get it and all of the retiring products before they're gone forever.

The Stampin Up Four Feathers stamp set and coordinating framelit dies originally made their debut in 2014 in the Holiday catalog. They were carried over into the 2015 Occasions catalog and still very popular. Like this card says, they make everything "Happy". Coupled with the "Hello You" thinlits, and the Crazy About You & Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets.
This card, designed by Alison Solvent, uses the "rock n roll" technique with Bermuda Bay and Pool Party inks. Simply stamp the feathers in the little color, the roll the edges in the darker and BAM...You're a rock star!

So this really happened...I've earned a free, all expenses paid trip to Hawaii from Stampin Up! OMG! True story!! I can't wait to go next month with 2 of my BFFs. This trip marks my 11th incentive trip with Stampin Up in my 11.5 years with the company! Gosh I love what I do, and I love this company. A few of the demonstrators attending this trip decided to put together this fun "Hawaiian themed" blog hop.
You may be just beginning your journey through our blogs, or you may have arrived from Alisa Tilsner’s Blog. She's a tough act to follow....
...One of the many, many things I can't wait to get in Hawaii is the yummmmy Shave Ice! My Blog hop project is this Snow cone card. It was originally inspired by my friend Cindy Baughman (from Hawaii). I put my own spin on the original idea. It's super easy and fun to make. Full of #awesomeness!!
This snow cone card is super easy and fun to make, I have a quick video tutorial below to show you how to make it. The stamp sets are @SoSocial and Oh My Goodies, and some help with the Circle & Deco Label Framelits. A little bit of "heat embossing" creates the "ice", yes you read that right we are heating it up to make ice hahaha.
