This is a card I cased from Splitcoast by Nichol Tugrul using the Secret Garden set and Honeycomb embossing folder.  This one uses So Saffron, Pool Party and Pink Pirouette. 

Here I did the flowers in blue – Not Quite Navy, Pool Party and Island Indigo.  The sentiment is from Blessing from Heaven and it’s stamped in Not Quite Navy.

You can just glimpse the inside stamping which is from Thoughts and Prayers. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Secret Garden, Blessings from Heaven (or Teeny Tiny Wishes)
card stock – Pool Party Coordinations, water color paper, Wild Wasabi
Ink – so Saffron, Pool Party, Pink Pirouette OR Not Quite Navy, Island Indigo, Pool Party
Etc – Secret Garden Framelits, Not quite Navy ribbon, white embossing powder, aquapainter, Honey comb embossing folder, sander

So thanks to Nichol for a lovely idea!  Hugs, Fran

The first thing I do when I get a papercrafting magazine is scour it for designs to case!  I finally got to sit down with Papercrafts and several ideas jumped out at me.  This is one.  Using the Dress Up Framelits, I cut the dress form from the some Baja Breeze cardstock and used pieces of Floral District Designer Series Paper behind it. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Delightful Dozen
card stock – Baja Breeze, Floral District DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Dress Up Framelits, Baker’s Twine, Tangerine Tango button, Scallop punch

The tragedy in Boston just takes my breath away.  Wishing peace to those affected by this senseless kind of craziness.  Hugs, Fran

I redid some Dress Form Ballerina Party Girl stands as place holders for birthday parties.  They are very fun to do – a bit addicting to be honest  

I managed to find some large spools, painted them and added Designer Series Paper.  (no need to add weights to these!)

Using a Sizzix Fancy Frame and the You Rule set from the Spring Mini – I made the birthday girl a special one.  (Aren’t all birthday girls princesses?) 

On the dress form I stamped the floral image in Established Elegance and colored it with Stampin Write Markers.  Then I added two roses from the Artisan Kit. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – You Rule, Established Elegance
Card stock – Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette DSP, Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Silver Glimmer paper
Ink – Early Espresso, Crumb Cake
Etc – Pink Piroutte SWM, Tulle, Artisan Kit, spool, skewer

Just a little note – I have been using about 20 pieces of tulle to get my skirts really fluffy.  The link to video for the skirt is here.

Hugs, Fran

Isn’t this fun?  Karen Burniston designed these framelits for Stampin Up and she shared this idea at UStamp with Dawn and Friends Big Shot Roundup.  I couldn’t wait to try it! 

The dress is suspended from the opening in the card – too cute!  (And hard to photograph!)

I used Wonderful Mother on the inside because I really like the sentiment. 

Here’s a picture of what the dress looks like floating/spinning/hanging from the card.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Artistic Etchings, Wonderful Mother, Music Notes wheel
card stock – Co’ordinations Pool Party, Midnight Muse, Comfort Cafe DSP
Ink – Pool Party, Midnight Muse, Cajun Craze
Etc – SU Pop N Cut base, Dress Up Framelits, Label Framelits and Floral Framelits, sanding block, Little Leaves Sizzlit

I have created quite a mess this morning and have got to put some things away before I do anything else!  There is not an inch of space left to stamp!  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

This was inspired by my friend who is going to a baseball game this week – and hoping for some decent weather.  She’s taking her brother and I thought a fun card to present the tickets would fit the bill.

I used Great Sport – and cased the front of my soccer card! 

I love the lace tape in the spring mini!  It finishes the edges so nicely (and quickly!)

I just drew the lines for the baseball top – not sure that’s exactly what one looks like, but you get the idea!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Great Sport, That’s the Ticket, A Word for You
Card stock – Real Red, Marina Mist, Polka Dot DSP, Whisper White, Sahara Sand
Ink – Real Red, Marina Mist
Etc – Pop N Cuts Base die and Dress Form insert, Dress Up Framelits, Delicate Lace Tape, Ticket Punch, 1 1/4 circle punch, 2 1/2 circle punch, Dazzling Details, 1/4 circle punch, Striped embossing folder

This card came together from a group of pieces that were in my stamping “pile!”  I had a dress form that I had already stamped and then changed my mind, a butterfly that was a left over from a project and several doilies that had been used to spritz another card.  Put them together and you get this!

This is the card that I used the doilies to spritz the front.  It’s a case of one that Donna Griffith did at a stamping demo.  So the Doilies were already very saturated with Shimmer Mist before I even started!  I just turned the center one over so it was solid.

The dress form had some of the Lace tape in the Spring Mini on the front – then sponged over and removed.  En Francais was stamped over the entire piece. 

Fabulous Flourishes was stamped on the background using Stampin Write Markers.  Then I used Crystal Effects on the Not Quite Navy flowers to make them pop. 

Supplies

Stamp Sets – Delightful Dozen, Papaya Collage, En Francais, Netting, Fabulous Flourishes
Cardstock – Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy
Ink – Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Stampin Write Markers – Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy
Etc – Dress Form Framelits, Doilies dies, Artisan kit (button) Lace tape, Crystal Effects, black twine, Platinum shimmer spray

All typos are my cat’s fault.  He has decided that he must sit on my arms while I type!  Hugs, Fran

This is a case of a project that the amazing Karen Burniston did for UStamp with Dawn and Friends Big Shot Roundup.  A Floating Framelits card – with a Dress Form embellishment, of course!  I used the Window Framelit – which didn’t work quite as well as the Label Framelit she used – but is still fun.  You can find the instructions over at UStamp.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Wonderful Mother
cardstock – Whisper White, Tea for Two Designer Series paper
Ink – Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake
Etc – Pop N Cuts Base die, Windows Framelits, Dress Up Framelit, Flower Trim, 1 1/4 and 1 3/4 circle punches 

I’m going to start cooking today for Easter I’m having my 3 children and several friends for the weekend so I think I’d best get a few things finished.  And of course, we’re scrappin’ tonight!  I can’t wait!  Hugs, Fran

Comfort Cafe – such pretty Designer Series paper!  Are you starting to think about the patterns that will retire – and stocking up on those you HAVE to have?  This is one of mine!  I used a Sizzix Accordion Flip die to make this album and the yummy Comfort Cafe DSP!  This is how it looks closed.  I cut through the first two layers with the Heart framelits – another love!  The Cajun Craze heart is floating – on fishing line, of course

I used a line of Basic Pearls to outline the heart.

A window sheet stamped in Whisper White Craft ink – Netting – for one of the see through panels!

Fabulous Phrases in the tiniest heart – and some Cajun Craze ink. 

And the beautiful sentiment from Wonderful Mother – it’s just perfect!  Plus a Cute Clip – hearts all over the place!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Fabulous Phrases, Wonderful Mother
card stock – Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Comfort Cafe Designer Series paper
Ink – Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, Whisper White craft
Etc – Hearts Framelits, Cute Clips, 1 3/4 circle punch, pearls, window sheet, Soft Suede taffeta ribbon, fishing line, Sizzix Accordion Flip die

Start making a list of the Designer Series papers you want now – and you’ll beat the rush in May.  (And put this one on your list!)  Hugs, Fran
