Here’s a tag for a little boy’s birthday gift.  It’s a 3 x 3 and uses the Bootiful Occasions stamp set.  I embossed the front with the Square Lattice embossing folder, added a star using the Star #2 die and colored the cowboy boot from the set with Stampin Write Markers.  A Candy Dot finishes it off.  Short and sweet!  On the inside I added the sentiment from the stamp.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Bootiful Occasions
Cardstock – Cajun Craze, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Star #2 die, Neutral Candy Dot

Yee-haw!  Hugs, Fran

This must be my favorite suite of products in the mini catalog – Happy Watercolor and Designer Series paper that matches.  Here I used Karen Burniston’s Katie Label Pivot Pop It Up to make a card using the Watercolor Wonder DSP to show off the sentiment. 

The paper has such pretty designs!  A pivot card is a nice way to show them off.  And I love polka dots so the Distressed Dots embossing folder was perfect here. (and it’s a Saleabration item!)

I even used it on the Pansy Punch!

This DSP is so pretty.  It might be my favorite piece in the package!  Hugs, Fran

Let’s start with the card!  This card features the Spiral Rose die and the set Baby, We’ve Grown in the mini catalog.  I used 2 embossing folders (one is a Sale a bration item!) and kept the colors to Pink Pirouette and Whisper White. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Baby, We’ve Grown
Card stock – Whisper White, Pink Pirouette
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Pink Pirouette Stampin Write Marker, Fancy Fan and Decorative Dots (SA embossing folders, Bigz Spiral Rose die, Heart Framelits, Bird punch

Now, on to the Spiral Rose die.  This might get a bit long, so just scroll if you want!

This is the die.  It’s a Bigz die so you can cuts lots of different materials – and several layers of card stock at once!  You start at the small end and roll it to the center.  I like to use a bamboo skewer to get it started. 

Depending on how tight you roll it and how much of the spiral you use, you can get very different looks.  Starting from the left you see the full rose, (and using just half the spiral) the bottom half of the rose and the top half of the rose.

When making the tiniest rose (using the smaller half of the spiral) I add a little cup from the Boho Blossom punch.

This is the rose cut out of felt (and glued to a hair clip.)

Cork!

Designer Series paper.

Vellum Card stock.

To make the large rose shown on the card, add to Blossom punches underneath a spiral rose. 

I used Dimensionals between the 2 punches.

If you’ve made it this far, congratulations and big hugs!  Tomorrow I’ll show you more projects made with the Spiral Rose Die.  Hugs, Fran

So what do you do when your daughter brings you a package of wooden camera shapes?  You pair one up with the Essential Wooden Elements out of the Spring/Occasions Mini and make a card!  And doesn’t this paper from I Am Me work perfectly with this?  I also used the On Film Framelits and Arrow embossing folder – plus some Washi tape.  (Gotta use washi tape!)


The elements are very light weight and fairly thin.  I adhered them with some Tombow Multipurpose adhesive.  To finish off the camera, I filled the camera lens area with Crystal Effects.

The sentiment is from Remembering Your Birthday.

Etc – Essential Wooden Shapes, Crystal Effects, On Film Framelits, Candy Dots, Epic Day This & That Washi tape, Arrows embossing folder

The wooden elements are really easy to stamp on. I even used a Stamp a Ma Jig to line up the words with no problem.  Fun, fun, fun!  Hugs, Fran

I might be behind on things – but I’m ahead of UPS!  Hugs, Fran

I cased this card straight out of the Occasions Mini – with a few changes.  I used the new Arrows embossing folder instead of stamping the bottom of the card – and I used a different button (because that is what I had on hand!)  This is a cute stamp and one that can be used for a lot of different style cards.  Just thought I’d start out casing!

Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Pool Party, Soft Sky, Calypso Coral, Real Red, Gumball Green, Crushed Curry
Etc – Arrows EF, Baker’s Twine, Small Banner punch, metal button, aqua painter

We did not get everything taken down and put away yesterday.  Not because I had so much stuff out – but because my kiddos quit on me half way through!  Today I’m going to be a drill sargent and get it finished (wish me luck!)  Hugs, Fran

This card starts with a Cherry Cobbler exclusive SU Pop N Cuts base embossed with the Sassy and Circle Label embossing folder by Sizzix.  I added some wide Cherry Cobbler ribbon and Silver ribbon under a Silver Glimmer paper die cut from the Sassy Label & Stitched Frames Framelit.

If you look closely you can see the Stitched accent I added on the front.  The final element is a tag from Tag 4 You stamped in Old Olive and punched out with the matching punch. 

And the inside!  I used Karen Burniston’s House insert and matching framelit, her Ribbon Tree die and Banner & Borders Framelit, Season of Style Designer Series paper and the “mini Frosty” from Best of Snow to create this little scene.  The sentiment is from the November My Paper Pumpkin

I needed the tree to be taller so I cut two of them and pieced them together.  They are accented with Silver Glimmer paper.  The lights on the house are Basic Rhinestones colored with Copic Markers.  The house is accented with Dazzling Details and the heart on the door is coated with Crystal Effects.  I also added some tiny snowflakes on a few of the dots in the background paper.  (yes, my desk was covered with stuff!)

Oh – and the tree was topped with using the Tiny Heart punch in Red Glimmer paper. 

To keep the tall tree from flopping around, I added an extra support to the back.

Frosty was stamped in Jet Black Stazon and colored with Stampin Write Markers.  To make the sign, I adhered some Season of Style Washi tape to Whisper White cardstock and cut the tiniest strip – to look like a candy cane.  The sign is from Very Merry Tags – stamped in Cherry Cobbler and punched out with matching punch.  The doorknob is a Candy Dot.

The sentiment is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and die cut using the Sizzix Banner & Border Framelit.

I think I might love this little Frosty even more than his original counterpart!  Hugs, Fran

This is my favorite card from the set I designed for UStamp with Dawn and friends Heating Up the Holidays.  We did this one last weekend   You know I have this “thing” about tilting boxes, cups, packages – so here is my Christmas version.  The washi tape makes it so easy to add some quick details to any card and that Striped embossing folder from the Holiday Mini is wonderful.  Hope you enjoy it!  Hugs, Fran

How funny!  Check out the rhinestones in the center of these ornaments!  Some of them have moved   And I didn’t even notice it until now.  Well – I’d suggest you put the rhinestones in the center of the ornaments instead of willy nilly all over the card!

A Fall Pop N Cuts card!  For the front of this card I used pieces from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit in the Holiday Mini and some Sweater Weather Designer Series paper. 

The inside is a Thanksgiving/friendship scene featuring my favorite Dress Form insert. 

The banner was made in MDS 2 and the mirror is Label Love with the matching punch and a little bit of silver foil paper for the inside. Her tablecloth is a Doily. 

The turkey is a small oval punch with Build a Blossom legs.  It sits on a circle punch serving platter.  The bowls of cranberries and green beans are also the small oval punch with scallop punches for the cranberries. 

The rug is a Sizzix embossing folder designed by Karen Burniston – works great here!
