Can You Case Love?

This beautiful piece of framed art is from our demonstrator magazine – front cover – couldn’t even open the magazine without pulling out supplies to case this!  The frame is one I had sitting around here so I had to readjust the layout to fit. 

Here’s a tip for getting all the phrases fairly straight – use your grid paper and a very soft pencil to make small tick marks. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – p.s. I Love You, Sweet Cake, Candy Conversation
card stock – Very Vanilla smooth and textured, Cherry Cobbler
Ink – Blushing Bride, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Calypso Coral
Etc – Framelits Hearts die, Full Heart punch, Timeless Type alphabet, Dazzling Details, Vanilla 1/8″ ribbon, Vintage Trinkets, Heart Trio punch

The Dazzling Details is on the little row of hearts below the Cherry Cobbler “Love.”  I should put this out in my classroom – but I kind of like having it in my office.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Love in Red

Take it to the Heart has a very sweet Valentine-ish image with children playing.  I did the card in Real Red and Whisper White using the Finial Press embossing folder – I think it has an old fashioned look to it and goes very well with this set.

Nothing complicated – just a Valentine!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Take it to the Heart, p.s. I Love You
card stock – Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink – Real Red
Etc – Finial Press embossing folder, Framelits Hearts die

Bordering on Romance

This card is for a high school friend that found me on Facebook.  The new Loving Thoughts stamp set came in handy!  Nice to have options!

I stamped the flowers several times on water color paper so I could cut them out and pop them up. I used a sketch that Mary Brown did for a small note card – enlarged it and added some ribbon. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Bordering on Romance, Loving Thoughts
card stock – Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red, Twitterpated DSP, water color paper
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red, Pear Pizzaz
Etc – Scallop Border punch, Framelits Labels die, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Very Vanilla seam binding, Basic pearls, aqua painter

Now to get this mailed – enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

More Apothecary

You might get tired of this card layout before I’m done.  Maybe that’s why it’s featured in the Occasions Mini!  So here it is again in Baja Breeze –

I used Dazzling Details on some of the flowers – not sure you can see it in the photo, but it’s there!  I also want to add that at first I didn’t really like Dazzling Details.  It seems to smear and not be very sparkly.  I have totally changed my mind – because I finally shook the bottle up a bit!  Now it’s even, sparkly, and on about every other project I’m doing!

I hung some little flowers from a Vintage Trinket pin –

Beautiful Birthday

This is the card I did for my mom’s birthday.  Not only is it a birthday card – it’s a sneak peek of products in the upcoming Occasions Mini.  A double duty card!  The design is based on the card shown in the mini catalog.





What a great set!

Supplies
Stamp Set – Apothecary Art (Occasions Mini 125525/125527)
card stock – Poppy Parade, Always Artichoke, watercolor paper
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Poppy Parade, Real Red, Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake
Etc – Framelits Label Collection, Edgelits Die, Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Poppy Parade ribbon, Victorian Lace, Hat Pin, Dazzling Details, Basic Rhinestone, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Vintage Trinkets pins, Always Artichoke seam binding

The Dazzling Details was used on the roses – just a touch.  Because the Hat Pin was so close to the edge cut with the Edgelit die, I put a drop of Crystal Effects on the point.  Didn’t want my mom to get stuck opening her birthday card!  There is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful pleated ribbon in the mini but not in Poppy parade.  So I used glue dots to make my own.  I’m wishing for this ribbon in every color – it’s just beautiful!  (I think I said that!)  So my mom’s birthday card ended up being the perfect time to try lots of the goodies in the Occasions mini!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
