Timeless Texture 01

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw this pretty layout by Sage Kimble on Pinterest and decided to change it up just a bit.  I loved the color combo (Wisteria Wonder, Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake) and bottom design so I shrunk it down a bit, added some color to the card base and added a sentiment.

I continued the color block to the inside.  The sentiment is from Birthday Blossoms.  I also added some rhinestone 🙂

Here you can see some detail with some linen thread and an In Color flower.  A card for almost any occasion!  Hugs, Fran

I case the idea for this from Shelli Gardner (!)  but I changed several things.  I kept the layout and the elements on the card and that’s about it. 

Since I don’t have the background stamp she used, I chose Dictionary for my background.  To make the lighter/darker areas on the background stamp, I inked it in Crumb Cake and then took a sponge dauber and added some Early Espresso.  The center piece is the Framelit from Chalk Talk and the stamp set I used is Lacy & Lovely.  I also switched out the sentiment and used Perfect Pairs.  I love the card – and really love how changing just a few things makes it my own (kind of!) 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Beautifully Baroque, Petite Pairs, Lacy & Lovely, Dictionary
cardstock – Crumb Cake, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer, Vellum Card stock
Ink – Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Etc – Chalk Talk Framelit, Beautiful Butterfly die, Pansy punch, Baroque embossing folder, Vintage clear button, linen thread, Butterfly punch (small), Rhinestone

To make the big flower, I punch 3 or 4 pansy punches, misted them with water and wadded each punch up.  After they dried, I stacked them together and used glue to hold them.  Once it was dry I gathered the petals into the look I wanted and glued it to the card.  (I might need to hand deliver this one!)  Hugs, Fran

Goodbye Kindness Matters

I almost said “goodbye to kindness” – but that doesn’t sound right!  These are some cards I did using Kindness Matters and En Francais.  The butterflies under the sentiment on this one are done in bleach. 

On this scaled down version, the butterflies are done using the Illuminate pad. 

All the antennas are fishing wire dipped in glue and then Dazzling Details.  Sad to see it go! 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Kindness Matters, En Francais , Netting
Card stock – Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, First Edition DSP, Pink Pirouette
Ink – bleach/illuminate, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette
Etc – Beautiful Butterflies die, pleated ribbon, Itty Bitty shape punches, circle punch, pearls, fishing line. 

So Kindness does matter – even if it’s retiring!  Hugs, Fran

This is the (retired) Attic Boutique DSP with a Soft Sued background and block.  (And some cute pictures of my youngest!)

The top left square used the Pennant Punch, Blossom Party die and Beautiful Wings embosslit.  The sewing was done on the block. 

Down the center is the Lace Ribbon punch (retired) and some butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies die.  The heart at the top of the page pulls up for the journaling.

Apothecary Art and Family Reunion make up the title – die cut with the Labels Collection Framelit.  The rose is a circle that is cut in a spiral and wrapped like a rose.  The heart is 5 heart punches stacked together to create some depth.  Missing those heart trinkets!  Lots of fun!  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran

At our team meeting this weekend we made garden stakes with metal decorations made with the Big Shot.  Everyone made what they wanted – but we agreed that Ann’s was the most creative. 


Here’s one I did for the graduates this year –



And here’s what I found while cleaning my kitchen!  I’m not kidding!  It’s April and I just noticed that this is still hanging there!





Here it is – the Retiring Stamp Sets! Accessories and Decor Elements will be posted April 25th. Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

I’m making clips again!  On this one I used the Beautiful Butterfly die and the Bordering on Romance set to top off a little gable box. 

I die cut 8 butterflies and embossed the top one.  I applied the glimmer brad by cutting off the legs and gluing it down.  The DSP on the clip in Attic Boutique.

I made the tag with p.s. I love you and tied it on the box with Poppy Parade ribbon.  The Poppy Parade trim around the box is made with the Tasteful Trim die. 

Now I can fill it and give it away!  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran
