Feeling very springy today – even if it snows.  This card base is the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts Base and Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper.  The tag was made with the Scallop Tag Topper punch.  The words are from Blessings From Heaven.  I masked off sections and made the sentiment tighter so that it would fit on the tag. 

And here she is with her Easter Eggs.  The eggs were done with the small oval punch.  I punched them and then put them on a sticky note back into the punch so they would have a more “egg” shape.

The photo quality isn’t great – sorry.  The Crisp Cantaloupe seemed to “glow” while I was taking pictures.  Hugs, Fran

I found a sticker in my box of stuff in the closet!  A cute, little owl that needed to be on a card.  I think I bought these last year for a sorority thing – and now he’s sitting in a tree on a card.  The flower is a button.  I used my craft scissors to cut off the shank and glued it down.

Still wishing for spring!  This Circle Label Framelit card features the cute, cute butterfly and the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper.  There are only 10 days left to grab this DSP!  I found a new “pairing” of sentiments that I really like.  The sentiment on the front is from Too Kind and the inside is from Really Good Greetings.

I ran out of black ribbon – all black ribbon – and used some rhinestone stickers from Elizabeth Craft Designs instead.  Just a little bling for my butterfly Hugs, Fran

Well what can I say?  This is the kind of card that cleaning creates!  While going through a few boxes tucked away in my closet, I found all kinds of embellishments – everything from flowers, to Christmas, to babies, to animals.  I thought I might use some of this stuff – and decided to make a Double High Katie Label card would be a good start. 

I started with my favorite sheet of Watercolor Wonder DSP – and lots of daisies.  The little ladybugs were created with an Elizabeth Craft Designs die and glitter.  The sentiment is from Best of Love. 

On the inside I used Chalk Talk (and more flowers and ladybugs.) 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Chalk Talk, Best of Love
Cardstock – Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Island Indigo, Gumball Green, Watercolor Wonder DSP
Ink – Basic Gray
Etc – Karen Burniston Katie Label Pivot die, ECD Ladybug die, Tasteful Trim die, Ribbon punch, Bird punch, Washi tape (Epic Day), flower stickers

I’ve tried to consolidate some of the stash – a better idea would be to use it up!  Hugs, Fran

Just another color study!  I remade this card in various color from the oh, so fun, I Am Me Designer Series paper.  First in Real Red.  Remember all those little wooden camera pieces that my daughter gave me?  I colored this one red with reinkers. 

So Saffron for this one – but I left the wooden camera alone (actually, it didn’t take the color well!) 

And here is Tangerine Tango – and a Tangerine Tango camera.

One of my friends and I love to get up early in the morning and meet for coffee whenever we can.  It’s a great way for us to get in some “girl time” before the day takes off.  So the sentiment on the front of my card celebrates this time .  The card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2

Inside I used Karen Burniston’s Garden Bench Pop It Ups die to create this scene.  (Stamp is from Art Impressions)  The die comes with the flowers and grass (and more!) 

To keep “our feet on the ground” I used the grass and few flowers – and a box behind it.  There’s also a box behind the image to keep it steady.

Can you see them?  One on the bench and one on the ground.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfect Blend,  Yippee-Skippee, Coffee BFFs (AI)
Card stock – Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Pool Party, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet DSP (SA
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Garden Bench and Agatha Edges Pop It Ups, Oval Punch, Oval Framelit, Candy dots

Now if only the snow would melt so we could sit on a garden bench.  Hugs, Fran

Good as Gold

This card is from the Sale a bration kit called Good as Gold.  It makes lots of sweet cards like this one and comes with sentiments in English, French and German.  Here’s another idea for this kit –

Using My Digital Studil, I printed out this image from Artistic Etchings and cut it out with the Oval Framelit die.  I added a layer behind it using the beautiful Gold Foil.  Then I used the “merci!” 

Supplies
Cardstock – Good as Gold notecards, Gold Foil specialty paper, Whisper White
Etc – MDS2 (Artistic Etchings), Candy Dots

Now to come up with some very German – and I’ll have a cute set!  Any ideas?  This is why I love MDS!  Hugs, Fran

Sometimes it’s just fun to mix styles and see what happens!  I used the Soho Subway Designer Series paper and From My Heart stamp set and came up with this Katie Label Double High Pivot card. 

The heart in the center is “filled” with Crystal Effects. I love the look it give it – kind of 3-D ish – and it makes the colors really pop. 

There is so much going on in the paper that I stuck with the grid paper for the sentiments. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – From My Heart
Cardstock – Island Indigo, Early Espresso, Soho Subway DSP
Ink – Early Espresso, Crisp Cantaloup
Etc – Katie Label Pop It Ups die, Agatha Edges, Candy Dots, This and That Epic Day Washi Tape

Have fun mixing and matching!  Hugs, Fran

I made several of these little notecards using Banner Blast and the matching punch – Saleabration items!  These notecards are no longer available, but there are lots of other notecards from which to choose in the catalog, so I thought I’d share this idea. 

On the inside I added a Pop It Ups by Karen Burniston – Lucy Label – and another banner.  Even though it’s a tiny card, the Lucy Label fits any size. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Banner Blast (SA, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card stock – Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Real Red
Ink – Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Real Red
Etc – Lucy Label Pop It Ups, Heart Framelit, Rhinestones, SAB Twine

It’s like a mini – pop!  Hugs, Fran
