This is the background stamp Postcard with Simple Stems stamped over it.  The Postcard stamp is easy to use and easy to cut out – just straight lines.  I used Pink Pirouette ribbon, but Primrose Petals ribbon would have been pretty too.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Postcard, Simple Stems, Delightful Dozen
Cardstock – Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Ink – Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, Primrose Petals
Etc – Tasteful Trim die, Pink Pirouette ribbon

I really love pink and gray together.  Hugs, Fran

Well what can I say?  This is the kind of card that cleaning creates!  While going through a few boxes tucked away in my closet, I found all kinds of embellishments – everything from flowers, to Christmas, to babies, to animals.  I thought I might use some of this stuff – and decided to make a Double High Katie Label card would be a good start. 

I started with my favorite sheet of Watercolor Wonder DSP – and lots of daisies.  The little ladybugs were created with an Elizabeth Craft Designs die and glitter.  The sentiment is from Best of Love. 

On the inside I used Chalk Talk (and more flowers and ladybugs.) 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Chalk Talk, Best of Love
Cardstock – Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Island Indigo, Gumball Green, Watercolor Wonder DSP
Ink – Basic Gray
Etc – Karen Burniston Katie Label Pivot die, ECD Ladybug die, Tasteful Trim die, Ribbon punch, Bird punch, Washi tape (Epic Day), flower stickers

I’ve tried to consolidate some of the stash – a better idea would be to use it up!  Hugs, Fran

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

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

Stampin Write Markers – Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green

The dahlias can be applied with glue dots.  I used glue so that I would have a little wiggle room in getting them lined up straight.  Use a ruler to line up the bottom row.

I saw these owls on Creating the Hive attributed to Kerry’s Paper Crafts.  They are created using the Big Shot Pillow Box die.  Aren’t they cute?  I couldn’t resist having them hold a paper chain of hearts!

I tried two different ways to do the “feathers” on the owls.  The one of the left (Melon Mambo) uses the 3/4″ circle punch to make the feathers.  Each one is attached separately  The one on the right (Pumpkin Pie) uses the Big Shot Tasteful Trim die.  Can you see the difference?

So while I was playing around I decided to see if this little guy could be used as a party favor for my daughter’s graduation this spring –

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
