Welcome to Tewksbury, MA! It is a beautiful day here in the Boston Area!!
These were the cards that I made for our very first blog tour!! Each member of the blog tour prepared samples from one set in the Occasions mini catalog.
I featured 3 great ideas designed with the Very Versatile Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini catalog. Even thought the links from the tour have been removed I am still going to leave my cards posted.
The first sample is made with Rose Red and Rose Rhapsody Cardstock. The designer paper is Raspberry Tart. I layered twill tape on top of Rose Grosgrain Ribbon. The Happy Birthday is stamped with Stazon onto the twill tape.
Card 2 is made with the Bella Bleu designer paper, bordering blue and not quite navy cardstocks.
Card 3 is a beautiful black and white card that my stampin' friend Cindy Wilford made on Friday night. Cindy used the new eyelet scallop punch along the bottom of the card. She layered two ovals to make the heart behind the oval stamped with the sentiment.
I am offering Blog Candy as a thanks for stopping by my blog. Enter a comment to let me know that you stopped by and which card you like the best. I will draw a name from the comments and send the winner a Free spool of Red Grosgrain Ribbon. Check back on Tuesday to find out if you have won!!
Thanks for stopping by!

I just love your cards, expecially Card 2. Thanks - Brandi
I love the first one. Love the colors & the way that you "stamped off" I think that is the right term (see I am learning) to make the tree fuller.

I love Card two's color combo. ALl of the cards are great! Thanks for kicking off the Blog tour.

I like card #2. Blue is my favorite color too. Thanks for sharing.
Love card #2 but then it was a hard choice, I Love them all. Thanks for the tour! Jayne
I love both cards (very feminine) but if I have to pick one that I like best I guess that it would be the black and white card....
I love card #1 it is so bright and cheery
I love all the cards, but I do favor the raspberry tart DP.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Love your card samples on your tour! :-)
This is such a great set and your projects are wonderful. I especially love the 2nd one!

Hi Marilyn,
I love blue and you did a very nice job on card #2.
TFS
Oh, so pretty! My fav is the one with the raspberry tart dp. isn't this fun?
They are all so nice but love the second one the best.
Very nice cards. I like the way you have managed to use the same floral and yet get 3 different looks all very nice . Not sure what the 3 dots are in the bottom right of the blue card (my fav) looks neat tho. Are they brads or buttons or what? thanks
I love the first card...I love pink too!! Thanks for sharing your great ideas with us. I am loving this tour!
Very pretty, Marilyn! I bought that set and haven't mounted it...better get on it!
Love this set and your cards are beautiful. The tour is a great idea! Thanks
I really like your third card. I like the heart with the wide oval punch with the sentiment. Wonderful idea!
Sandy
Ooo, what pretty cards Marilyn! I especially love the one with the Bella Blue paper! TFS!
I love the Card 2--the blue one. All your cards are great.
I like the pink card. Love what you did with this stamp set. Great inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

I like the bella blue card. So elegant.
Janstamps@frontiernet.net
All of your cards are fabulous. I love how you used the bold patterns in the Raspberry tart paper.
I love the first card you made as I'm partial to the bold colors in the DSP. I also love the texture you created by using twill ribbon.
All the cards were really nice but I enjoyed the 2nd card. The colors flowed and it was nicely done..not too much...just perfect!
Loved the cards! My fav is the last one, I liked the layering of the oval on the heart.
Wonderful job, Marilyn! LOVE them all! This blog hopping is fun...but overwhelming!
I loved the bella blue card.

Hi- I liked your card #2 the best although they are all wonderful! Thanks for sdharing! Hugs Kay Mespelt (petking@vcn.com)
My favorite is the first card -- but then I'm a HUGE fan of the Raspberry Tart DSP!
Well, Marilyn, I just knew I like the pink card the best until I saw the black and white. What a clever way to make a heart! Thanks for your hard work and a chance to win!
Hi Marilyn: I loved all of your cars, but the 2nd one is a little bit more my colors and style. Love them. Love the tour.
i like the blue one best, and the red comes in at a very close second. i chose blue, because it is my favorite color. that stamp is so delicate, and i must get some of the dsp that you have used.
I like Card #2 the best - just LOVE the color combo and the Bella Bleu DSP!
