New OSW for 2016


I was so excited when I received my copy of the 2016 Occasions Catalog.

I struggle with Birthday cards......I think someone at Stampin' Up! must of heard that. 

It's my Party DSP 140552 $26 
There is 48 sheets in there, can you imagine how many OSW I can do? I planned a Class around that thought. That way I won't have so much left over, so I can't hoard it later. I'm terrible about using my DSP, I use a sheet or two from a pack then it just sits. :( 
So I decided NO MORE DSP...yeah right!

It's My Party Cardstock Pack 140553 $7
I absolutely love it that Stampin' Up! now has the coordinating colors as a pack...so convenient
I did buy more Basic Black, Whisper White and Sahara Sand.

Confetti TIEF 140593 $7.50
I wasn't going to buy anymore TIEF, none, no way! 
Well I had to get this one, it goes with the whole project!

Bundle; Party With Cake Stamp set and Party Pop Up Thinlit Dies 140814 $42.50
I love the new Pop Up dies,  they work so well, no fussy poking.
 My only issue is the Happy Birthday Cake doesn't want to stay put even on my magnetic plate. 
But it's still good!

Things I forgot when I ordered.....but I will dress up my cards a bit when they get here.
Baker's Twine Combo Pack 140555 $6.50
It's My Party Designer Washi Tape 140556 $8.
I was planning to use this on the insides, but since I forogt to order it, i just used strips of the matching DSP 
It's My Party Enamel Dots 140554 $4. 


for the pattern.....

Okay, now before you look at my cards and say "that's not a OSW"
I cut one of each of the pages from the pack, and put the cuts in baggies for each card. I plan to pass a baggy around the table and let the ladies pick the piece they want for each card, so they have a sample of each sheet in the pack. I cut the bases and I'll let them pick which bases they want too. so they won't all be the same.









 

I did learn, that if you want to put colored pieces behind the words on this cut out...you must do it before adhering to the card base. I ripped one,
