Six-Sided Sampler

I think this may up being one of my favorite new stamp sets (subject to change at any minute!)  And it’s available as a bundle!  One of my favorite samples in the new catalog is on page 125 using this set.  The card shown there is an odd size so I decided to re-do it in a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  All I had to do was add a fun strip of Washi Tape on the side.

Now take a look at the alphabet hexagon on this card.  (Upper left hand corner of this photo) This is what happens when you over ink your Wild Wasabi pad!  It blurs out the alphabet. Oh – and by the way – even though the sample states right on the picture that it is using Coastal Cabana – did I read it?  No.  I used Pool Party.  Silly!

Stamp Set – Six-Sided Sampler
Cardstrock – Whisper White, Pool Party
Ink – Wild Wasabi, Pool Party, Smokey Slate, Basic Gray, Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Hexagon punch, 3/4 circle punch, pearls, Washi Tape, Itty Bitty Banner Framelit

I think I’ll try this again in some colors to go with the Gingham Garden Washi tape – right after I do some serious straightening up around my house.  It’s amazing how quickly my house falls apart when I have new catalog goodies!  Hugs, Fran

It’s the Soho Subway Designer Series paper again   I used the exclusive Stampin Up Pop N Cuts base for the card and the Apothecary Art Framelits to make the tag.  The border is That’s the Ticket and the Ticket punch.

For the insert I used the suitcase from Sizzix’s Journey collection.  I stamped with Beyond Plaid (last day to get this stamp!!) and added some Vintage Trinkets. 

I used Early Espresso Core dinations paper and sanded it for the details.  Love how it gives the look of worn leather. 

The top piece is from the Top Note die.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Really Good Greetings, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Beyond Plaid, That’s the Ticket
Card Stock – Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso Core dinations, Soho Subway DSP
Ink – Early Espresso, Island Indigo, Crumb Cake

One of my friends was actually able to locate the street she use to live on on this paper!  Hugs, Fran

One thing I love about the Soho Subway in the new catalog is how the paper can stand alone in it’s design.  I love the BIG numbers and used it with the SU Pop N Cuts base to create the front of this card. 

The only things added are the flower (from Timeless Type Big Shot Alphabet), the sentiment and the tiny strip of Crisp Cantaloupe. 

I used a Sizzix insert called Funky Label and added more Timeless Type numbers and a little banner made with the 7/8 scallop punch.

The numbers are on fishing line – and attached to each other so they weren’t flopping all over the place!

I also stamped off an image from Clockworks on the sentiment – just for fun.  The Happy Birthday is also stamped directly on the DSP. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – One in a Million, Bring on the Cake, Clockworks
card stock – Soho Subway DSP, Island Indigo, Whisper White
Ink – Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base, Timeless Type Big Shot Alphabet, Sizzix Funky Label insert and Framelit, 7/8 Scallop punch, fishing line

It’s a very busy card!  Hugs, Fran

Mixing the chalkboard technique with some Glimmer paper – works for me   This is a new set in the upcoming catalog called Chalk Talk.  I don’t have the matching framelits (again – yet!) but this image was easy to cut out.  I used the Epic Day Designer Series paper cut in strips for the background and a Delicate Design embossing folder on the Whisper White.  The hearts are a variety of framelits and punches. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Chalk Talk
Card stock – Whisper White, Epic Day DSP, Basic Black, Silver Glimmer
Ink – White Craft ink
Etc – Delicate Design embossing folder, Hearts a Flutter Framelits, small heart punch, basic rhinestone

All sorts of things going on here!  Hugs, Fran

This is the new Designer Series paper – Gingham Garden.  I have paired it up with the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts base and an insert called 3-D Label.  One of the coolest things about the Pop N Cuts base is that it will all the inserts that Sizzix makes.  This one swings – so your decorations work on the inside and out.  I inked my Feel Goods stamp in Strawberry Slush (because I don’t have a marker, yet!) and then colored over some of the words with and Island Indigo marker. 

On the little inside label I used Fabulous Phrases to stamp Hi Friend and the small heart punch.  See how my outside is now my inside?

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Feel Goods, Fabulous Phrases
card stock – Gingham Garden DSP, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Strawberry Slush
Ink – Strawberry Slush, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzaz
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base, small heart punch, Label Window insert and matching framelit, Edge & Scroll die

Tomorrow is my New Catalog Open House!  You will get your new catalog and be able to play with a few new products.

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?

This little 3 x 3 shows off the new washi tape – and is in one of my favorite colors combos.  I took a scrap piece of Whisper White and added some Epic Day washi tape then die cut it with a Label Framelit.  The butterfly was stamped in the new Smokey Slate.

The dots were punch with the Owl punch in Strawberry Slush.

card stock – Whisper White, Strawberry Slush
Ink – Basic Gray, Smokey Slate
Etc – Butterfly punch, Owl punch, Label Framelits, Epic Day Washi Tape

3 x 3’s are nice to have around to tuck into gifts, lunch bags, under pillows – anywhere you need a little note.  Hugs, Fran

Secret Garden with some washi tape on the side!  I saw this color combo in Papercrafts and just loved it – so I decided to use it here.  The background uses the new Mosaic Madness embossing folder.  This is such a great folder because the design can be the main focus or a subtle background. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Secret Garden, One in a Million
card stock – Smokey Slate, Whisper White
Ink – Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Basic Grey
Etc – This and That Epic Day washi tape, Secret Garden framelit. Label framelits, Modern Mosaic embossing folder, 1/2 circle punch, Crystal Effects

Yes, there is Crystal Effects in the center of the flowers – which I then set something on top of not once – but twice!  Sheesh!  I finally decided to just go with it.  Hugs, Fran
