Perfect Pennants 05

This summer I did a “wow” presentation at a group get together using embossing folders and heat embossing.  This idea was inspired by a conversation with Lisa Tedder.  I brayered over the Chevron embossing folder with Versamark and then ran Silver Glimmer paper through the Big Shot.  Immediately pour embossing powder (I used the now retired Melon Mambo on this one) over the embossing and heat emboss.  You get a  beautiful background!  Double embossing!

Supplies

Stamp Set – Perfect Pennant

Card stock – Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer

Ink – Versamark, Melon Mambo

Etc – Chevron embossing folder, rhinestones, silver ribbon, Melon Mambo and Silver embossing powders, Pennant Framelits.

 

Sparkly!  Hugs, Fran

Bloom For You 01

This is sort of an “inverted” case of the little card on page 139 using the Single Stamp, Bloom for You.  The catalog used the envelope punch board – but I used the new Gift Card Enclosure Pack card (page 194. (136662)  This are precut, pre scored gift card enclosure card – 10 per pack.  I put the design on the front and added Sassy Salutations for the sentiment.  The little flag is made with Itty Bitty Banners and glued to a toothpick.  This is really easy to do by using the Silicone Craft Sheets (127853) under the flag.

This is what the inside looks like.  The gift card fits in the slits below the sentiment.  Then you just fold it up!

Polka Dot Pieces 01

Here’s my last catalog case (for now!) from page 139, using Polka Dot Pieces.  The catalog did some sewing on the bottom of the card.  I chose to machine stitch a piece of Craft card stock and then adhere it to the front.  Instead of just a piece of washi tape, I put mine across the entire front.  The ribbon on my card was Blushing Bride 1/4 cotton that I ran over my Cantaloupe Crisp ink pad.  I should have started with Whisper White ribbon – but the Blushing Bride worked.  I think I’m going to LOVE this ribbon!

Hot Diggity Dog 02

This is a semi – case card from page 109 of the catalog.  That card features Just Sayin’ – I mixed it up by featuring Hot Diggity Dog instead.  Instead of embossing the card front, I used a separate layer (5 1/2 x 3 3/4) of Smokey Slate, embossed it and adhered it to the front.  I tried a Whisper White circle for the little puppy but ended up using Crushed Curry for more color.

Supplies

Stamp Set – Hot Diggity Dog

Ink – Memento Tux Black

Etc – Tiny Triangle embossing folder, Word Bubble framelits, 2 1/2 circle punch, Itty Bitty Accent punch

 

This color combo makes me happy!  Hugs, Fran

Well Worded 01

 

Well Worded has a cute mustache and a framelit to match!  I wrote the sentiment out in My Digital Studio, leaving a space for the mustache, and added to the front of this 5 x 5 card.

Here’s a new set called Hot Diggity Dog (page, wood 134021/clear 134024) with a new DSP – Confetti Celebrations! (133692)  I used the Label Card Framelit to make him “flip.”

When I do the inside label, I try to leave enough space below the sentiment to write – at least – a name!  If you want to say more, you can do another label that will hide behind behind the first. I decorated the strip of Strawberry Slush with some little dog bones.

I think I need the “cat” set too   Hugs, Fran

It’s bright, isn’t it?  I used the new Sizzix Thinlit dies, Little Letters, and the numbers from the File Tab Edgelit die to create this card.  File Tab Edgelits only has the numbers 1-3, so if you can use that combo you can combine it with the letters.  The Word bubble is from Age Awareness.

This card is a case of one of my own ballerina dress cards – altered to work for a bride.  I used Celebrate With Us from the Occasions Mini and a spray of small, silk flowers on the front of the exclusive – and soon to be retired!- Pop Up Card die.

Instead of a tutu, I made a long train of tulle.  You can see it better from the side –

I will sorely miss this die – but it will remain in my “stash” forever
