Snowy Stacks of Wishes

I needed a “themed” thank you card for some wonderful ladies who got stuck in the snow with me last week.  Stacks of Wishes is one of the hostess sets in the Spring Mini – and with a little tweaking – it was exactly what I wanted to say.  Starting with the Pop N Cuts base (love it!) I used the Label insert and added lots of snowflakes with the retired Snow Flurry die.  Then I used Stampin Write Markers to ink up just the top part of the stamp set.  Obviously the butterfly wasn’t going to cut it on this card!  Then I inked just the “thank you” for the bottom.  The Delicate Details Lace Tape finished off the card.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Stacks of Wishes, Friendly Phrases, Snow Swirled
card stock – Marina Mist, Subtles Pattern, Whisper White, Silver Gimmer
Stampin Write Markers – Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy
Etc – Delicate Details Lace Tape, Glitter Brad, Snow Flurry die (retired), Pop N Cuts Base (130099), Label insert die, Northern Flurry embossing folder

The kindness of strangers is amazing – pass it on!  Hugs, Fran

Birthday Dress

My Birthday to my sister!  Actually, it’s not for a few days, but I saw her this week and was able to give her this card.  I used the Pop N Cuts Dress form die – ’cause I love it – and made her a garden scene.  The banner is held up on strips of card stock that I inserted through slits on shelf.  If you look closely at the watering can you will see water spraying from it.  That’s fishing line coated in glue and covered with Dazzling Diamonds.  The pearls on the dress are Basic pearls colored with a Sharpie – and the collar on the dress is a scallop punch. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Feel Goods (Spring Mini), Up, Up & Away, Itty Bitty Banners, Best of Everything
card stock – Lucky Limeade, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Pool Party, Pacific Point, International Bazaar Designer Series Paper, Brushed Silver, Crumb Cake

Happy Birthday, Mary!  Hugs, Fran

Winged Love

Guess what?  I was wrong!  The Winged Hearts die fits perfectly in the Stampin Up Dress Form Base.  Sometimes I just need more coffee and good thump on the head!  For this Valentine I pulled out lots of stamp sets.  Did you know that Seasonal Sayings (Holiday Mini – front of card) is still available?  Page 36 of the Spring Mini has a list of everything that is being carried over.  This paper is fun – notice how I was able to use one of the hearts on the paper to “layer” onto the Be My Valentine sentiment!  Too much fun!

Stamp Sets – Seasonal Sayings, Petite Pairs, Delightful Dozens
card stock – Pool Party, More Amore DSP, Very Vanilla, Real Red, Neutral Paper pack

Love poppin up all over the place!  Hugs, Fran

Winged Amore

I won this Pop N Cuts insert – Winged Hearts – on Karen Burniston’s blog I am not left handed!  (Did you hear me screaming?)  It works in the Pop N Cuts Dress Form base and I used it to make this Valentine.  Because of the direction of the Stampin Up base, I cut the ends off of the piece for the insert and reversed the direction so that it would open correctly.   ETA: I am crazy!  It works perfectly as is! Then I made a shaker frame for the heart.  Kind of fun to have it pop out and shake at the same time.  The beautiful More Amore Designer Series paper fit perfectly on the front – like it was made for this card.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Delightful Decorations, You are Loved
card stock – Basic Gray, Real Red, Pool Party, Primrose Petals, More Amore DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
