I had some scrapbook paper that I thought might make a good Karen Burniston Pop It Ups Hanging Charm Pull card. Using the new Baby Charms and the paper on the page, I made a 5 x 7 card for a new bundle of joy.
The card is flat, so I put a few more elements on the back for writing the message.
Almost makes me want to scrapbook again! Hugs, Fran
Another Love & Affection catalog case. I think these colors are beautiful together. And I love the sentiment! You can see the entire Affectionately Yours Suite on page 44-45 in the new catalog. Hugs, Fran
It’s almost new catalog time! This is a case of a card on page 44 of the catalog. Since I didn’t have the copper thread, I used burlap. The new copper embossing powder is gorgeous! You will love the look 🙂 Hugs, Fran
While I still had all the In Colors out, I made this card. Again I used Gorgeous Grunge, but this time I add a Hello You Thinlit Thanks, Crazy About You sentiment and some rhinestones. Love these colors! Hugs, Fran
This is a case of a card on page 36 of the new catalog! Such pretty colors! I changed up the embossing folder and used the new Floral Affection folder. The doily is a gold doily – just flipped over to the white side. The colors are Wild Wasabi, Sweet Sugarplum, and Pool Party on a Crumb Cake base. Love these colors 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Here’s a 6 x 6 Shower card made with Karen Burniston’s Stage It Stencils – Rain, and Baby Charms. The Night of Navy base was cut 6 x 11 and scored at 6″. This leaves you a 1″ area at the bottom for your sentiment. The rain was done in a Micorbead Embossing paste and Wisteria Wonder ink.
This is the inside (and kind of the outside too!) The sentiment is computer generated. Hugs, Fran
Hop over to the Elizabeth Craft Design blog to see how I made this cute Lucky the Rabbit card 🙂

This month’s challenge is stencils! I used Karen Burniston’s new Stage It Stencil – Cherries Layering. This fun stencil has the cherries on one end and the stems on the other. Put them together and this is what you get! This card is 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 and the cherries are stenciled with pearlescent embossing paste colored with Real Red ink. Can you see the shine?
The stems are done in Garden Green ink. It makes such a pretty background. Baker the Beaver is celebrating with cherry cupcakes while on an action wobble! The cupcake is part of Baker’s die and the cherry is from Stampin Up’s Cupcake builder punch. (retiring)
Make sure to check Karen’s blog to see all the wonderful ideas using stencils! Hugs, Fran
The May Design Team Challenge is using the new Stage It Stencils by Karen Burniston! These stencils are super fun! They have 2 designs on each stencil that can be used as is or combined to make one darling design! Today I’m using the Baby Pajamas stencil and Baby Clear stamp, along with Stampin Up’s Something for Baby stamp set and matching die all on a Accordion Rectangle card. There’s also a surprise in the middle 🙂
This is the front. I start by stenciling the baby pajama in pink with red hearts on my paper and then die cutting the Accordion Rectangle pieces. The pram is stamped in Wisteria Wonder.
When you open it up, there’s a new matching baby pajama charm hanging in the center.
I sandwiched the Baker’s Twine between the patterned paper and the card stock. Then I added some elements from Something For Baby.
I found a sweet poem about baby girls to decorate the third Rectangle. So sweet! Make sure to check out Karen’s blog to see all the other amazing cards from the design team using her new products! Hugs, Fran
It’s graduation time and I have a few to send out. Karen Burniston’s Poppy the Owl seemed like the perfect character to grace a graduation card! The numbers are the Stampin Up’s Number of Year stamp set with matching die. One of my graduates had blue and white as their school colors. I used the Schoolhouse Designer Series paper for this one.
Poppy’s cap is made from the bowler hat in Props 1. Karen has a diagram on her blog showing how to cut it to make it a cap. The hassle and diploma are hand cut.
Another graduate’s school colors are red and gray. I simply copied the same design and changed up the colors. These card are large – 4 1/4 x 9 – and will easily accommodate a check 🙂
Here he is in Smoky Slate. He looks so smart! The Number of Years set makes this a easy card to put together. Hugs, Fran
