Ok… now on to the card I want to share with you today!
I used some samples of the wonderful products in the current Occasions Catalog, and was asked to come up with a sample to share with my stamping group. This is the card I came up with:

It’s got a lot of fun colors! I used the Grateful Bunch stamp set with the coordinating Blossom Bunch punch.  I used the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper for the backgrounds – coordinating with the Mint Macaron, Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry colors.  The sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set and heat embossed on vellum.  I cut it out using the coordinating Rose Garden thinlits. The accents on the flowers and the sentiment are the It’s My Party Enamel Dots. The colorful ribbon is the Baker’s Twine Combo Pack.
You can see here in this closeup I also added some extra sparkle with the new Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

You may have also noticed it’s not the standard card shape! I decided to switch it up a little this time and used one of the sample templates I made during a past stamp camp with my stamping family! I love having those resources at hand to use!  Here’s a side view to see it better:

I hope you enjoyed it, and stop by this week to see more samples of the cards we will be making Saturday!
