This must be my favorite suite of products in the mini catalog – Happy Watercolor and Designer Series paper that matches.  Here I used Karen Burniston’s Katie Label Pivot Pop It Up to make a card using the Watercolor Wonder DSP to show off the sentiment. 

The paper has such pretty designs!  A pivot card is a nice way to show them off.  And I love polka dots so the Distressed Dots embossing folder was perfect here. (and it’s a Saleabration item!)

I even used it on the Pansy Punch!

This DSP is so pretty.  It might be my favorite piece in the package!  Hugs, Fran

Funny, funny – this stamp set matches it’s name – Giggle Greetings.  Here is a very simple card to show off the cute images.  The “ribbon” behind the cat is really two1 1/4 ” square punches matted with 1 3/8 square punches.  
I masked off the words on the bottom of this stamp with tape and stamped them on the inside.

Stamp Set – Giggle Greetings
Card stock – Smokey Slate, Basic Black, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet

Etc – Circle Framelits, Square punches
This would be an easy set to make as a set of cards.  Hugs, Fran

Here’s something fun!  Karen Burniston did a video to make her Katie Label Pivot die twice as big and it’s a great way to show off beautiful DSP and fun stamps.  I used the Eastern Elegance Designer Series paper and the SAB set You’re Lovely to make this 5 x 7 card. 

Here it is open and it’s amazingly pretty sturdy!  (Though the photograph is kind of wonky) 

I added some Dazzling Detail to the flowers for just a touch of sparkle.

Supplies
Stamp Set – You’re Lovely
Card Stock – Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Eastern Elegance
Ink – Basic Gray
Stampin Write Markers – Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz
Etc – Pop It Up Katie Label die, Agatha Edges Framelit, Deco Label Framelit, Regal buttons, Epic Day Washi Tape, Baker’s twine

I hope you’ll try it and share what you make!  Hugs, Fran

This is the Pop It Up Hearts Pivot die paired with Follow My heart.  I had some left over pieces from this card and just couldn’t resist making a pivot card for someone special.  Doesn’t the Red Glimmer paper look lovely?  And the keyhole is the Silver Foil paper. 

Here it is open – with a Silver Foil key hanging from some Baker’s Twine. 

The Red Glimmer frame was done by cutting with two Framelits at the same time.  It makes such a nice, tiny frame!

Card stock – Pink Pirouette, Red Glimmer, Basic Gray Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Subtles Paper pack

I started with winter (since that is where
we are at the moment!)  The base of the entire card is Soft Sky and the
Oval Dots Frame edge is Whisper White.  I used a gel pen to make the
snow on the branches.

Spring uses Pistachio Pudding and Garden Green leaves with Pink Pirouette DSP flowers and the In Color paper pack for the frame.

Summer has a Garden Green Flourish Edge.  The apples are Real Red.  There two pieces that can be used as clouds or the leaves on the tree – that I used for the tree.

Oh my bleeding heart!  I saw this idea on Pinterest – but I did the “foundation” of it in a very different way and got a VERY different look.  The one I saw used watercolors on smooth paper.  I used reinker on watercolor paper.  My card turned out much darker (much, much darker!)  I punched the hearts out of watercolor paper and glued them down.  After dried I used reinkers in the the lids of the stamp pads and an aquapainter to start the ink flowing.  The sequins are colored with Copic markers – which worked very well.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfect Pennants
Card stock – Pink Pirouette, Basic Black, watercolor paper
Ink – Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Melon Mambo
Etc – Aquapainter, sequins, makers, Envelope Punch board (to round the corners), Heart Framelits, Large Pearl

Try it and let me know how it works for you!  Hugs, Fran

Are you working on Valentines?  Here’s one for you – Love you to the Moon.  And I pretty much cased my own card from here to do this one   I used Gorgeous Grunge in Real Red, Smokey Slate and Basic Black for the background and added some washi tape.  The moon spots are touched with Crystal Effects. 

The inside has more washi tape (non-SU gift from my daughter) and the sentiment from Delightful Dozen. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Love You to the Moon, Gorgeous Grunge, Delightful Dozen
Card stock – Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink – Real Red, Smokey Slate, Basic Black

Sometimes the paper is so pretty that it stands on it’s own.  That’s how I feel about Venetian Romance (130144.)  Paired with Karen Burniston’s Pop It Up Pivot Butterfly insert – and it’s beautiful. 

I simply adhered to pieces of Designer Series paper together and used the Butterfly Pivot to show the beautiful designs. The die comes with all the extra pieces so I was die cutting scraps all over the place!  I used the Agatha Edges die to cut the one side of the card. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Gift of Kindness
Card stock – Very Vanilla, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Venetian Romance DSP
Ink – Soft Suede
Etc – Pop It Up Butterfly Pivot and Agatha Edges Thinlit, Word Window punch, Delicate Lace Tape

It’s also nice to have thinking of you/sympathy cards on hand instead of trying to make them in the moment.  Hummmm, guess I’ll make a few more.  Hugs, Fran
