One thing I love about the Soho Subway in the new catalog is how the paper can stand alone in it’s design.  I love the BIG numbers and used it with the SU Pop N Cuts base to create the front of this card. 

The only things added are the flower (from Timeless Type Big Shot Alphabet), the sentiment and the tiny strip of Crisp Cantaloupe. 

I used a Sizzix insert called Funky Label and added more Timeless Type numbers and a little banner made with the 7/8 scallop punch.

The numbers are on fishing line – and attached to each other so they weren’t flopping all over the place!

I also stamped off an image from Clockworks on the sentiment – just for fun.  The Happy Birthday is also stamped directly on the DSP. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – One in a Million, Bring on the Cake, Clockworks
card stock – Soho Subway DSP, Island Indigo, Whisper White
Ink – Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base, Timeless Type Big Shot Alphabet, Sizzix Funky Label insert and Framelit, 7/8 Scallop punch, fishing line

It’s a very busy card!  Hugs, Fran

I made this background paper in My Digital Studio – which was fun, but didn’t really work for this card.  It never occurred to me that the scale of the design would look different on from my laptop screen to the printed page, so it’s really large.  But I thought I’d share it anyway because I like the idea.  I took every graduation set I could find in MDS and made my background.  That’s it!  The “2013” is die cut with the Timeless Type Numbers.

On the inside I used Blue Ribbon and popped it on a Sizzix die (Circle & Ribbon 3-D Platform)  I’m not giving up and will try again – adjusting the scale of the background and maybe introducing another color.  What do you think?

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Blue Ribbon, Itty Bitty Banners
cardstock – Real Red, Pacific Point, Whisper White
Ink – Real Red, Pacific Point
Etc – My Digital Studio, Timeless Type die, Circle & Ribbon Platform

Enjoy the weekend – stamp something!  Hugs, Fran

It’s sorority time!  My youngest is now in a sorority and I made her a magnet for her dorm room.  Using the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper and A Fitting Occasion stamp set, a cute owl die and the Pennant Parade die – here’s her magnet board.

I used the Pennant Parade die and the Timeless Type Alphabet to make the banner.  Remember those keys from a few “mini’s” ago?  Just what I needed for this.

Soda Pop Top magnets!  I bought galvanized steel for the backing under the DSP and cut it fit.  (Be careful, it’s sharp!)

And the cute little owl (Sizzix Owl #2) was the perfect finishing touch.  That’s it – Owl, Key and Fleur de Lis.  Got it covered.  Hugs, Fran

It’s a wild combo – Blue Ribbon, Dapper Dad, Best Dad Ever and the exclusive Stampin Up Pop N Cuts Base and Dress form insert!  On the front I used Dapper Dad.  The watch has a soda pop top that was smashed in my Big Shot and filled with the stamped dial and Crystal Effects. 

Doesn’t look like the dress form insert, does it?  I made a layered piece with Blue Ribbon and the Simple Numbers Bigz die.  To make the banner piece on the ribbon, I stamped off with Beyond Plaid and then stamped the ribbon on top of it.

Stamp and layer your image and attach it to the form!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Blue Ribbon, Dapper Dad, Best Dad Ever, Beyond Plaid

This is an easy layout that we did at scrap club this weekend.  It uses a hidden pocket to hide journaling or another photo – or both.

The pocket is an envelope trimmed to fit behind the mat.

I’ll add the journaling next to the picture.

The weekend was busy but so much fun!  Samantha had her last Christmas concert.  All these darling students singing beautiful, but serious, Christmas carols and she sang “Santa Baby!”  That’s my girl!

My pre -order comes today so I’m cleaning up as fast as I can so I have room to play!  It’s a cold, rainy day here – perfect for a pre-order!  Hugs, Fran
