Pop N Cuts Traveller

Graduation?  Retirement?  Study Abroad?  This card has a long history and ended up looking absolutely nothing like the card at the beginning. I really like the Epic Day Designer Series paper and it became the focal point for everything else in the card.  The hexagons on the front were cut with my ecutter because I don’t have a hexagon punch – yet! (hint, hint)

And she’s off!  She has her bags packed, her maps and passport (yes, that’s a passport – or a book to read)  She’s mapped out her past or future travels and visited the travel agent. And she’s got her camera ready.

The map, Bon Voyage sign, airplane and arrow are from My Digital Studio.  The dots on the map were made with the tiniest circle on the Owl builder punch.

The luggage is all made with the Ticket punch. 

The camera is the only thing left from the original card idea!  Ah well!

The travel brochure is also made with the ticket punch.  The map is My Digital Studio.  I decided to let the DSP speak for itself for the bottom of the card.  It was too pretty to cover up. 

Where is your Pop N Cuts Dress Form gal headed this summer?

Uncle Sam Pop N Cuts

Let’s celebrate the 4th of July with a Pop N Cuts card!  Karen Burniston has put a really cute template on her blog made to fit the exclusive SU Dress Form Pop Up – and he’s soooo cute!  I used the Stampin Up base die to make the front – along with the Make a Wish stamp set and Glimmer Paper for some star dies.

And here he is – inviting everyone to celebrate with him   The free template makes is easy to put him together.

Since I was so shamelessly casing Karen’s card – I changed the background and the placement of Uncle Sam’s hat. 

I used a piece of window sheet to pop up the stars behind him.  I just cut some small slits in the fold of the table to create another level to pop up.  The blue stars are really silver stars colored with Night of Navy reinker and a sponge dauber.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Make a Wish
card stock – Whisper White, Brights, Subtles and Neutrals paper packs, Silver and Red Glimmer papers
Ink – Night of Navy, Real Red
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base and Dress Form insert, window sheet, Star die or punches. Uncle Sam template

So there you go – Uncle Sam wants YOU to create a Pop N Cut card!  Hugs, Fran

Soho Babe

Some old and some new – a Soho Babe!  The front of this card uses the new In Color – Crisp Cantaloupe and the Soho Subway Designer Series paper along with the lace from the Artisan Kit, natural button and ribbon and a Cute Clip. 

I stamped the sentiment directly onto a piece of the Designer Series paper and added a Scallop border.  Then I used Clockworks to add some dimension to the bottom of the card. 

And here she is – ready to hit the town in her retro style dress. 

My youngest likes these dresses that have the lace at the bottom.  (I always tell her that her slip is showing – “Oh Mom!”)

I added a little banner with the smallest ticket punch and a bit more of the Clockworks stamp.

The collar and ruffle are some tulle, folded and gathered and attached to the back of the form.  Her purse is a 5/8″ punch with some gold thread to make the handle.

The top of the card is the Word Window punch – lined up and cut with the Edgelit.  Just attach them to a skinny strip of cardstock and then die cut.

I attached another little note that I made in My Digital Studio.  The arrow shows on both sides of the card.  Behind her is a crumpled Paper Doily – just add some more texture.

Don’t forget her necklace!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – One in a Million, Clockworks, Bring on the Cake, Creative Elements
Card stock – Crisp Cantaloupe, Soho Subway DSP, First Edition, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla
Ink – Crisp Cantaloupe, Early Espresso
Etc – Word Window punch, Ticket punch, 5/8 square punch, pearls, Paper Doily, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Linen thread, Artisan Kit, Natural button, Natural Trim, Scallop Edge punch, Cute Clip, Summer Starfruit ribbon, tulle, gold thread

Hope you enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

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

Floating Dress

Isn’t this fun?  Karen Burniston designed these framelits for Stampin Up and she shared this idea at UStamp with Dawn and Friends Big Shot Roundup.  I couldn’t wait to try it! 

The dress is suspended from the opening in the card – too cute!  (And hard to photograph!)

I used Wonderful Mother on the inside because I really like the sentiment. 

Here’s a picture of what the dress looks like floating/spinning/hanging from the card.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Artistic Etchings, Wonderful Mother, Music Notes wheel
card stock – Co’ordinations Pool Party, Midnight Muse, Comfort Cafe DSP
Ink – Pool Party, Midnight Muse, Cajun Craze
Etc – SU Pop N Cut base, Dress Up Framelits, Label Framelits and Floral Framelits, sanding block, Little Leaves Sizzlit

I have created quite a mess this morning and have got to put some things away before I do anything else!  There is not an inch of space left to stamp!  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

Play Ball

This was inspired by my friend who is going to a baseball game this week – and hoping for some decent weather.  She’s taking her brother and I thought a fun card to present the tickets would fit the bill.

I used Great Sport – and cased the front of my soccer card! 

I love the lace tape in the spring mini!  It finishes the edges so nicely (and quickly!)

I just drew the lines for the baseball top – not sure that’s exactly what one looks like, but you get the idea!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Great Sport, That’s the Ticket, A Word for You
Card stock – Real Red, Marina Mist, Polka Dot DSP, Whisper White, Sahara Sand
Ink – Real Red, Marina Mist
Etc – Pop N Cuts Base die and Dress Form insert, Dress Up Framelits, Delicate Lace Tape, Ticket Punch, 1 1/4 circle punch, 2 1/2 circle punch, Dazzling Details, 1/4 circle punch, Striped embossing folder

Hugs, Fran

Floating Framelits

This is a case of a project that the amazing Karen Burniston did for UStamp with Dawn and Friends Big Shot Roundup.  A Floating Framelits card – with a Dress Form embellishment, of course!  I used the Window Framelit – which didn’t work quite as well as the Label Framelit she used – but is still fun.  You can find the instructions over at UStamp.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Wonderful Mother
cardstock – Whisper White, Tea for Two Designer Series paper
Ink – Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake
