Really Good Greeting Sneak Peek

A sneak peek of a new sentiment – Really Good Greetings – plus some new Designer Series paper and embossing folder. 

The layout was inspired by one Julie Salva showed – I changed the colors and added the embossing folder.  To stamp the sentiment in different colors when I don’t have the markers (yet!) I inked up the sentiment in Strawberry Slush and then markered over some of the words with Island Indigo. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Really Good Greetings
card stock – Strawberry Slush, Whisper White, Pool Party, Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series paper
Ink – Strawberry Slush, Island Indigo
Etc – Mosaic embossing folder, Vintage Faceted Designer buttons, Pool Party Baker’s Twine, Scallop Circle punch, 2 1/2 circle punch, square punch

Lots of fun colors!  Hugs, Fran

Baked Brown Sugar and Pool Party – very pretty together!  This card showcases the new Mosaic Madness, matching punch and embossing folder.  The sentiment is Perfectly Penned. 

I die cut the Whisper White using the Oval Accent die and embossing it with the Mosaic embossing folder.  Then the images were stamped, punched and placed on the embossing folder spaces.  I added some Pool Party accents with one of the punches from the Itty Bitty punch pack.

Ink – Baked Brown Sugar (new In Color!), Early Espresso

Whirly Twirly seemed like a good title after all the craziness with the Retiring List being released yesterday!  So I decided to do a simple spinner card using Wishes Your Way from the Spring Mini and the cute little pinwheel Sizzlet. 

I always laugh at myself when I use this technique because it’s fun to just sit here and spin the card back and forth  

Supplies
Stamp Set – Wishes Your Way
card stock – Pacific Point, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP, Delightful Daffodil
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Cloudy Day EF, 1 3/4 circle punch, Pinwheel Sizzlit, Word Window punch

The tutorial for the spinner card can be found here.   Spin on crazy world!  Hugs, Fran

Less than a week to go to get Sale a bration goodies!  This Feeling Sentimental card also uses Lacy & Lovely for the sentiment.

Based on a display board, this is a 3 x 6 card in Sahara Sand and Basic Black.

This is one that Shelli showed using the Delicate Doily tape as a stencil. 

A take on another display board sample.  Love the antique feel to this one!  It’s a great set!  Hugs, Fran

I wanted to try a brayering technique I saw on Splitcoast so I cased a card by Julie Gearinger and gave it a try.  Mine’s not quite as fancy as her’s – if you remember, I borrowed this set from a friend and time was a’tickin’!  I brayered on Bashful Blue, then Marina Mist and then Tempting Turquoise for the background.  The images are stamped in Midnight Muse.  I had a pretty heavy hand with my brayer and will try this technique again to see if I can get more color variation – but it’s pretty.  Doesn’t the top picture look like the card is going overboard!

Stamp Set – By the Tide
card stock – Natural White, Midnight Muse
Ink – Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Tempting Turquoise, Midnight Muse
Etc – Wood Grain embossing folder, hemp twine. 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 square punches, 3/4 and 1 square punches

We got about an inch of snow – how about you?  Stay safe and warm today!  Hugs, Fran

Blooming with Kindness is such a pretty stamp set.  The top card is a wedding card in Cherry Cobbler and Baja Breeze. I used Dazzling Details on the flower.   The bottom card was me just fooling around   I tried using a sponge dauber with a lighter color to highlight the flower.  Do you have a preference?

Ink – Cherry Cobbler, Jet Black Stazon
