Oh My Goodies 02

 

I found these little jars and thought they’d make great party treats – filled with Skittles, mints or M&M’s.  I stamped the image from Oh My Goodies 3 times – Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder and Bermuda Bay – and die cut the Cucumber layer, punched the Watermelon layer and fussy cut the Bermuda layer.  Then I assembled it all together, popping up the top Bermuda label piece.  On the top, I wrapped the edge of the lid with Watermelon Wonder and a punched circle on top using Cherry on Top DSP.  A button finishes it off.

The little pouch treat is made with just the side die from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and more Cherry on Top DSP.  A large star and some ribbon tie off the top and some washi tape adds some punch to the front.  The Oh My Goodies sentiment is in Watermelon Wonder.   Fun treats for special times!  Hugs, Fran

Creative Circle July 2015

 

I’ve been asked to join the Creative Circle Design Team – focusing on lovely 3-D creations and Stampin UP products.  If you’ve just come from Barb’s post, you’re int he right place! This month’s template is a “murse” – or a man’s purse. You can get your own copy of the template at the end of this post. It’s an SVG file designed by Liz Holloway and I was able to cut it out on my Eclips. (or you can print and cut!)  I chose the Go Wild and Cherry on Top Designer Series paper to make my card holder and cards.

For my closure, I staggered 3 front panels (Go Wild, Tip Top Taupe and Basic Black) and added a closure “button” using Awesomely Artistic.

I used Antique Brads on the handle to help it swing out of the way.

This card uses Flower Shop and Go Wild DSP on a Heavy White base. The leaves are the Bird punch.

Star Accordion 01

 

Happy 4th of July!  Hope you have a wonderful and safe celebration!  This is Karen Burniston’s Star Accordion Album decorated with some really cute peel-off stickers called Star Buddies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  The paper is Stampin Up’s retired Lullaby.  To do the baby animal images, I put the stickers on adhesive sheets, poured glitter over them and colored on the glitter with Copic markers.  Els has a great video on this technique here.

I used the Baby We’ve Grown set to finish off this card.  And here it is open – with all the animals!  Cute!  Hugs, Fran

Floral Wings 02

 

Here’s another Gift Bag Punch board idea using Floral Wings (hostess set.)  I used a 12 x 12 piece of Crumb Cake and created a bag as shown on the punch board.  Before I folded the score lines (while it’s still flat) I stamped some little flowers long the bottom of the bag in Crumb Cake ink.  Then I added a Rich Razzleberry banner, a butterfly in Lost Lagoon and Rich Razzleberry and a little sentiment banner.  The closure for the bag was punched before the entire bag was put together.  I measured down and marked the sides on each fold line and punched it using a 3/4″ punch.  Then just wrap the Lost Lagoon ribbon around it and tie into a bow.  Add some pearls and a piece of Baker’s Twine for antenna.  It’s nice to have some gift bags ready to fill when needed.  Hugs, Fran

Six Sided Sampler 05

 

Isn’t this a pretty case from the new catalog?  It uses Six-Sided Sampler and a die cut butterfly.  I’m always amazed at how versitile this can be.  The colors I used are Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe and Crumb Cake.  The strip of Glimmer paper just adds a pretty splash.

This is another sample using the same set that I cased from a swap last year.  Same set – very different look!  Equally as cute 🙂  Hugs, Fran

Ray of Sunshine 01

 

Perfect card for my family today because we have a very sick puppy!  This card uses Ray of Sunshine and Karen Burniston’s sweet Buster the Dog Character die and Outdoor Edges.  The little bowl and tag are cut from silver foil card stock.  The sun was stamped on Daffodil Delight and then fussy cut – straight lines makes it easy!  Sometimes the simplest cards say just what needs to be said.  Hugs, Fran

Banner Banter 03

 

A Banner Banter Bag 🙂  Made with the Irresistible Designer Series paper, sponged in Bermuda Bay and made with the Gift Bag Punch Board.  The flower in the center is the new Cotton paper – 10 layers – cut with the Floral Frames Collection.  This is super simple to do because the layers can all be cut at one time.  Then you just need to stagger the layers and staple them (twice – make an x) in the middle and pull them up one layer at a time.  Kind of scrunch them as you go and you will have a beautiful flower to attach to your bag.  The little tag is Banner Banter stamped on a piece punched with the flag punch.  Fill and give!  Hugs, Fran

Floral Wings 01

 

Floral Wings is a two step (really 3 step!) hostess set.  Because it’s photopolymer, it’s really easy to use.  I chose to put the butterfly on a Decorative Window Gift Box.  To make this, stamp the butterfly twice in Basic Black.  Add the flowers in Melon Mambo and the leaves in Old Olive.  Die cut both butterflies using the Bold Butterfly die.

Floral Wings 01 details

 

Use the flower stamp to stamp around the sides of box using Crumb Cake ink.  Adhere a 1/2″ strip of Melon Mambo paper around the box – make sure to leave the lid free so it will open.

Floral Wings 01 side

 

Adhere the butterflies together in the middle and attach to the box.  Add Dimensionals (I stacked them 2 high) under the wings and add your sentiment.  I glued a small piece of Baker’s Twine to the top of the butterfly to make antennae and pearls to the centers of the flowers.  Fill it with something wonderful and give to a friend!  Hugs, Fran

Flower Patch 02

 

We are still playing the name game for the Karen Burniston June Designer Challenge – matching the first initials of our names to her dies!  For this card I chose the Fancy Label Accordion and Fancy Frames dies.  The front is the beautiful Butterfly Label peel off sticker done with Microfine Glitter and colored with Copic makers.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Flower Patch.  The colors I used on this card are Lost Lagoon, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Sahara Sand and Early Espresso.

To bring the focus to the sentiment, I simply punched out a circle to add to the Fancy Label die.  On the inside left, I slide a thin strip of Pool Party under the Star Fancy Frame Edges to make it stand out. (and to get the letter “S” in the card!)

Star Accordion 02

 

Our challenge this month was, well…..challenging!  We were to make cards using dies that match the first initial of our first and last names!  So for this card I chose some Fancy Frames and the Star Accordion Album.  The front of the card has the 3-D star, the Star Fancy Frame Edges, some Red Glimmer paper and glitter brads.

The little flag banner at the top shows on the inside too!

The inside shows the red, white and blue – 4th of July card.  See the banner showing on both sides? Just make 2 the same size and attach them to the card and each other.

The middle section uses Stampin Up’s Irresistible You paper that has stripes embossed on it.  I added a sentiment from Banner Banter and the USA is die cut using the ECD Alphabet 1 die in Marina Mist.  The edges are also from the Star Fancy Frames set.

The right side star is not popped up because it closes into the card.  I still inked the fold lines to give it the same appearance.  So grab some red, white and blue paper and play along!  You can find all the cards for this challenge on Karen’s Facebook page. Hugs, Fran
