Suite Sayings 01

This is one of my favorite sets in the Occasions Mini catalog – Suite Sayings.  It’s all sentiments and greetings and they are really nice AND pretty fonts.  For this catalog case, I stamped the sentiment and die cut it using Lots of Labels Framelits.  I die cut 2 leaves using the Botanicals Builder Framelits dies and stamped them with the matching Botanical Blooms stamp set.  The color in the center of the tag is done with a sponge dauber, Hello Honey and Cajun Craze ink.  Hugs, Fran

We are completely snowed in here so a cup of tea sounds wonderful to me!  These are Karen Burniston’s Pop It Ups new Oval Landscape Accordion album mixed with the Gift Card Accordion, Flourishes Frame and Cup Pop Stand dies.

I made it to hold a gift card in the middle.

I repeated the sentiment from the front – Just a Note Clear Stamp – on the inside.  The snowflakes are from the All Seasons Tree.

Stay warm!  Hugs, Fran

A Coffee Gift Card holder card!

PIU Coffee 01

This is the front and….

PIU Coffee 01 open

This is the inside.

To make the inside of this card-

  1. Cut a piece of turquoise card stock 4 1/4 x 11″ and fold in the middle.
  2. Cut a piece of turquoise patterned paper 4 x 10 3/8 and fold in the middle.  Align the Sleigh Gift Card holder mechanism in the middle of the score line and run through your die cutting machine.
  3. Cut the cup out of pink card stock and the steam out of vellum.  Layer a 3/8 strip of white onto a 1/2 strip of black card stock.  The length doesn’t matter as long as it is longer than the cup is wide.  Die cut it from the cup where you want the band to be.
  4. Die cut 5 flowers from the All Season Tree in turquoise and adhere to the cup band.  Attach small pearls to the center of the flowers and attach to the cup. Adhere the cup to the Pop Up.
  5. Cut the edges of 2 pieces  4 1/4 x 5 1/2 of white card stock with the Paris Edges die.  This will give you plenty of room to place the white pieces on your card (see photo.)  Trim off the excess. Stamp the small cup from the Coffee & Tea Clear stamp set on the bottom edge of your card.

For the front of the card –

PIU Coffee 01

  1. Use the new Paisley stencil over a 4 x 5 1/4″ piece of turquoise patterned paper and let dry.
  2. Cut the Paris edge the same way as you did for the inside and adhere to the front.
  3. Stamp the little cups the same way as you did for the inside.
  4. Cut a 2 x 4 1/2″ piece of white card stock and add a 2 1/2 piece of turquoise patterned paper to the bottom.  Wrap a pink ribbon around the paper. Stamp the images from the Coffee & Tea Clear stamp set as shown.  Punch a hole in the top and add ribbon.  Attach to the front using pop dots.

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Or “Jinx in the Jungle!”  This 6 x 6 card features Karen Burniston’s new character, Jinx, on an action wobble.  He’s backed by some awesome banana embossing!  Doesn’t everyone need a banana embossing folder?  The paper is Stampin Up’s Botanical Garden and Botanical Gardens washi tape.

Inside, he’s joined by a barrel of his friends!  Tossing bananas, no less!  They are sitting in Karen’s new Barrel Basket die on the Lots of Pops die. The Barrel Basket die comes with a Pop Stand if you want the card to open flat. The banana embossing at the top is done on the new Pull Card Edges.

Since I’ve turned 29 every year for quite a few years – this card is perfect!  Baker Beaver  and the Cake Pop Stand are a new dies for the Karen Burniston Pop It Ups dies.  Isn’t he cute?  Don’t you love the spatula?  That’s from the new Props 8.  It’s a full set of baking props. For the cake, I used just the largest cake layering piece and cut it down by 1/8″ for each layer. I’ve paired him with Stampin Up’s new Number of Years stamp set.  The sentiment “Look who’s turning” fits exactly on Karen’s new Pull Card Edges.  Baker and his cake are on an action wobble.  The paper is the very fun It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack from the Occasions Mini and the balloons are the new Balloon Bouquet Punch.
