I’m watercoloring the world today! For this card I heat embossed in white on watercolor paper the World Map stamp and did a wash with Lost Lagoon, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. Then I stamped part of the sentiment from Going Global on Black card stock and embossed it in white. The “you” is from Hello You Thinlits. I cut it out 3 times, coated it in Crystal Effects and attached it to the card.
All of this is mounted on a card front cut from the Heavy White card stock. Hugs, Fran
This card uses Flower Patch and the matching die, Flower Fair Framelits. I tried several color combinations – Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party, So Saffron and Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Real Red, Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder and Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango. The centers are embellished with the Metal Rimmed Pearls. Can you think of any other good color combos? Hugs, Fran
This card is made with the Large Number Framelits dies and a new Saleabration set coming out of the 15th of this month – Party Pants. The 1,3 and 5 are die cut and colored underneath and the 2 and 4 are popped up.
Then I added lots of Candy Dots! Inspired by one I saw online (I think it was Mama Elephant) that used little numbers, I knew I could make this with the Large Numbers (just fewer numbers.) I think this would make a cute kiddos card or switch up the numbers, have it say 29 – and send it to me 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Lucky the Rabbit is getting ready for Easter! This month’s challenge is glitter and this card is covered with it! It’s a Fancy Label Accordion – and a lot more. Behind Lucky are some clouds stenciled with Karen Burniston’s Partly Cloudy stencil. Lucky is painting an egg from the Easter Egg die all done with Silk Microfine Glitter. His paintbrush is the spatula from Props 8. I cut down the handle and dipped it glue and several colors of glitter. The paint drops and splatters are from the Cake Pop Up (candle flames and strawberry tops.)
The edges are from the Star Fancy Edges and glittered too.
Here’s the card open!
The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s new Greatest Greetings. To make the paint bucket, I used Lucky’s basket cut in Silver foil with drops of glue and glitter. Make sure to check out the other cards on Karen’s Blog! Hugs, Fran
Glitter! This month challenge is glitter. That wonderful, sparkly stuff (that stays with all day) and makes all our cards special 🙂 Today’s card is Rocky the crab on an Oval Pull Card. He’s out on the sparkly sand. His sunglasses are the Santa glasses from Props 5 covered in Crystal Effects. His bright, sunny paper is Stampin Up’s Schoolhouse Designer Series paper.
Glitter is hard to photograph! It was done with the ECD Silk Microfine glitter in Cool Diamonds.
Here’s the inside. The sun is on the mechanism from the Rectangle Pull card and it’s covered in glitter. The sentiment is computer generated.
Here’s Rocky taking a better look! I’m wearing glitter today. Check out the other cards on Karen’s blog. Have a sparkly day – Hugs, Fran
Party with Cake? Is there any other way to party? This is my take on a card on page 6 of the Occasions mini. The front uses the new Party with Cake set and the Lots of Labels Framelits.
And the inside uses the Party Pop Up Thinlits die. To easily attach the letters to the die, I just ran them through my Xyron and made them into sticker. The pop up only has one fold so it’s easy to make. Have I said “easy” enough? Hugs, Fran
Another catalog case using the new Party Pop Up dies. These easy to use dies make your cards hold a fun surprise. I used the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack. It has 48 sheets of cute designs! That’s a lot of paper 🙂
Inside is the other die – popping out to celebrate. That’s a fun card! Hugs, Fran
Coffee is charming! This Pop It Ups Hanging Charm Pull Card by Karen Burniston features the coffee cup charm.
When pulled up it says “Coffee solves everything” which is my motto in life 🙂 This one is a postcard style and your message can be written on the back. Love this die ! Hugs, Fran
One more Hanging Charm Pull Card from Karen Burniston’s Pop It Ups – this one using the heart charm. The paper is Stampin UP’s Timeless Elegance Designer Series paper.
This is how it looks when it’s pulled up. It reveals an embossed sentiment from Stampin Up’s Hostess set , Happy Birthday Everyone. Around the outside of the opening, I used Elizabeth Craft Design Peel Off Stickers.
Again, I made this one into a full card. Love all the variety in this die set! Hugs, Fran
Sending Love on a string! This Karen Burniston Hanging Charm Pull Card using the heart charm is perfect for Valentine Day. I used Stampin Ups beautiful Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper for the center.
When you pull it up, the heart dangles above the hidden sentiment.
I made this one into a full card. You can leave it as a postcard style if you’d like. You can find Karen’s video on how to make a Hanging Charm Pull Card here. Lovely! Hugs, Fran
