I'm back today with a fun color combo for you - Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay, and Lemon Lime Twist, with a little Basic Gray thrown in. Almost all of the products used on today's card are retiring.
I used the Heart Happiness stamp set for all of the hearts. You might think of this set as being for Valentine's Day, and while it's great for that, it can be used for so much more! This is one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions Catalog, and it will be staying on my shelf. Right along with it are the coordinating Sweet & Sassy Framelits. Out of all the products retiring, this is the one I can't believe! I am so sad that they are getting rid of these dies!
The Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon is another favorite. I was on the fence about this color for a long time, but now that it's been around for a year I'm starting to like it. This ribbon is retiring too, but watch for some new colors in a slightly different size in the new catalog!
Finally, the sentiment comes from the Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set, Sharing Sweet Thoughts. I've had this set for almost a year and this was the first time I inked it up. Oops! It is punched out with the Classic Label Punch, which is sticking around.
Stay tuned later this week for a post about this month's Christmas cards!

As promised, today I am sharing the 'boy' version of the Valentine treat boxes I'm making for my daughter's classmates. I stuck with the Myths & Magic suite, and she voted for dragons.
I fussy cut the dragons out of the Myths & Magic Specialty DSP. They're sparkly and fun! The little hearts come from the Heart Happiness stamp set, which I think is a staple! And of course that Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon is from the pack you can get for free from the Sale-a-bration Catalog with a $50 purchase. It's gorgeous!

Welcome to the first ever Stamp 'n' Hop blog hop! If this is your first time visiting my blog, I'm glad you're here. My name is Rachel, and I stamp while my kids nap in Gilbert, Arizona (US). This blog hop will happen once a month, and this month we are sharing some of our favorite products from the Occasions Catalog.
There are so many things I love in this catalog that it was really hard to choose. But we all know Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, and I still needed a card for my husband. So that's where I started, and this is what I came up with:
I used a few of my favorite products from the Occasions Catalog - the Petal Palette stamp set was used for the greeting, and the hearts come from the Heart Happiness stamp set. I LOVE that striped heart! The Lots to Love Box Framelits and Sweet and Sassy Framelits made cutting the hearts out super easy. And did you notice the tiny little hearts on the Crumb Cake background piece? I used Crumb Cake ink and stamped off once for a very subtle look. Those hearts come from the Heart Happiness stamp set too. You can find a full list of supplies at the end of this post.
I can't wait to hop along with you and see what everyone else has created!
Stamps: Petal Palette, Heart Happiness
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Soft Suede
Paper: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake
Accessories & Tools: Linen Thread, Lots to Love Box Framelits, Sweet & Sassy Framelits, Big Shot
Happy Stamping!
Rachel
