Category: Big Shot Fancy Favor die

Lovely Door

Flowered wreath and a Pool Party – perfect for a bride.  I used the Door Opening and Wreath die to create a wedding card.  The “siding” on my house is created with the Stripe embossing folder and the wreath is the Flower Trim from the mini catalog that has been lightly inked with Pink Pirouette.

Inside is Love & Laughter in Not Quite Navy.

This is just a variation of the same card – with a Pool Party base.

I couldn’t decide which way I like the door opening so I tried it both ways.  The cake is stamped inside in Pool Party.

Then I did a Big Shot Fancy Favor box with a door on front  The Floral District Designer Series paper makes it bright and happy.  Perfect for a little gift

I used My Digital Studio to create the inside.

The “roof” is the opening for the box.  Here you can see how I made the wreath 3 layers to add some depth.

I cut out some flowers from the paper and added 2 half circle “thingies” (technical term) that go in a vase to hold flowers.  Surly there is a better word – but I don’t know what it is! 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Love & Laughter
Card stock – Pool Party, Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Floral District DSP

Pretty Packaging

This is another double high Fancy Favor box decorated with the Dress Up Framelit.  I made this one to go with the fun placecard holder.  For this favor box I used some Silver Glimmer paper for the package – everything looks better with bling – and made the balloons from vellum card stock.  Just use your brayer to color it.  Hint – then adhere it color side down to keep it from scratching. 

Here’s the finished sest.

Supplies
Card stock – Pink Pirouette, Pink Pirouette DSP, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer paper, vellum card stock
Etc – Fancy Favor die, Dress Up Framelits, Scallop Circle die, Pink Pirouette taffeta ribbon, Lacy Brocade embossing folder, Tasteful Trim die, Silver thread, pearl

Have a wonderful weekend – Hugs, Fran

Party Girl and Free Shipping

Here’s my other project for UStamp with Dawn and Friends Big Shot Rounds Up.  It’s a party gift bag and invitation featuring the Dress Up Framelits.  Wouldn’t this be a fun party theme for a little (or big) girl?  The colors are Rose Red, Baja Breeze and River Rock. 

Don’t forget that today is the LAST DAY for FREE SHIPPING!  Any size order – so it’s time to stock up!  Hugs, Fran

Posy Boxes

Yesterday a friend and I got together to make treat boxes for her daughter’s bridal shower.  Such a cute bride – and she’s using Pool Party as one of her colors!  We used the Pop Up Posies Designer Kit and the Fancy Favor die to make 14 of these for the event.  Even with a lot of chatting, laughing and eating chocolate – it only took us 2 hours to knock them out. 

Everything is included in the kit except the box, adhesive and shimmer spray.  We used 2 kits – which was perfect because we each got to keep on of the darling Just For You stamp sets!  (don’t you love the font!) 

Hugs, Fran

Valentine Treats

These little treats are for my daughter’s friends in her dorm.  They are easy to put together – which is great since I need to make quite a few!  The “cover” is a 1 1/2 x 7 1/2 piece of More Amore Designer Series paper folded in half.  Use a 1 1/4″ square punch to make the cut out at the bottom.  Add a 1 x 3″ strip to the top using the same punch at the bottom.  Note – you can hand cut these if you’d rather!  Use the Sizzlit Heart to cut out a Real Red heart and layer the stamped image over top.  Attach with dimensionals.  Fill a skinny cello bag with M&Ms.  You will need to leave almost an inch empty at the top.  Staple the top to the inside of the cover and use glue dots to hold the cover down on the front and back.  I was able to get 17 of these treat bags from one bag of M&Ms (and I didn’t eat any while filling them – promise!)

Supplies
Stamp Set – Happy Heart
card stock – More Amore DSP, Real Red, Very Vanilla, Primrose Petals
Ink – Pool Party
Etc – Heart Sizzlit, 1 1/4″ square punch, 1 x 8 cello bags, Owl punch (for the heart on the stamped image)

The box holding the treats is made from the Fancy Favor die.  I die cut it in Real Red and then using the More Amore DSP.  I trimmed about a 1/2″ off the top and all the bottom flaps of the Designer Series paper and adhered it to the Real Red before I adhered the box together.  I decorated it with the same heart combination from the treat bags.

Have fun!  Hugs, Fran

Make It Tall

This is two Fancy Favor bags put together to make it taller.  To make this bag, die cut 2 Fancy Favor bags (I used two different patterns here), cut the bottom flaps off of the one you want to be on the top.  Line up the score marks and attach to the top.  You will want to use glue or sticky strip to make it strong.  That’s it – easy!  I closed mine with a clothespin

Supplies
Stamp set – Scentsational Season, Sweets for the Sweet
card stock – Be of Good Cheer, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Silver Glimmer paper
Ink – Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler, Versamark
Etc – Holiday Framelits, Gumball Green ribbon, Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/4 circle punch, clothespin, rhinestone, Dazzling Details, Sugar and Spice embossing powder

Hugs, Fran

It’s a Patio Party

My brother, sister and I had a surprise party for my dad’s 80th birthday.  I thought I’d share with you a few of the things I did to add to the celebration. 

First – invitations made with Make a Cake and the layout cased from Connie Babbert (thanks Connie!)  Here’s some of the decorations –

Patio Party flags for the cupcakes made in My Digital Studio (Patio Party
Collection DVD (p. 199)
) and little cupcakes made from votive candles.

And big tissue paper pom-poms!  These were taken before the tables were set – but you get the idea.  And, of course, party favors – made with a combo of the My Digital Studio and the Fancy Favor Big Shot die –

These were perfect for a two piece box of bourbon balls, a rustic pencil and a little bottle of Maker’s Mark!  Great party!  Hugs, Fran
