This is a card we did yesterday at stamp club.  Inspired by Pinterest, it features the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series paper and the Lattice die.  The front is embossed with the Mosaic embossing folder and I found it easiest to emboss it first and then die cut it with the Oval Framelits.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Delightful Dozen, Petite Petals
Cardstock – Whisper White, Watercolor Wonder DSP
Ink – Crushed Curry, Crisp Cantaloupe
Etc – Lattice die, Mosaic embossing folder, Oval Franelits, large pearl, Petite Petal punch, Bird punch

It was fun playing with the Lattice die again.  I had to dust it off and I’m glad I did!  Hugs, Fran

This is a simple Circle Accordion card – just two panels and some stamping.  (okay, and some butterflies!)  I used Gifts of Kindness and stamped the circles – punched some small butterflies from vellum cardstcok – added pearls and that is that.  The Marina Mist and So Saffron colors make it soft and “spring-like.” 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Gifts of Kindness
Cardstock – Marina Mist, Whisper White, vellum cardstock, Polka Dot DSP
Ink – So Saffron, Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Circle Accordion die and Square Frame Edges(Elizabeth Craft Designs), Pearls, small butterfly punch

I’m a bit anxious to see spring flowers!  Hugs, Fran

This is the background stamp Postcard with Simple Stems stamped over it.  The Postcard stamp is easy to use and easy to cut out – just straight lines.  I used Pink Pirouette ribbon, but Primrose Petals ribbon would have been pretty too.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Postcard, Simple Stems, Delightful Dozen
Cardstock – Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Ink – Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, Primrose Petals
Etc – Tasteful Trim die, Pink Pirouette ribbon

I really love pink and gray together.  Hugs, Fran

Feeling very springy today – even if it snows.  This card base is the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts Base and Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper.  The tag was made with the Scallop Tag Topper punch.  The words are from Blessings From Heaven.  I masked off sections and made the sentiment tighter so that it would fit on the tag. 

And here she is with her Easter Eggs.  The eggs were done with the small oval punch.  I punched them and then put them on a sticky note back into the punch so they would have a more “egg” shape.

Card stock – Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Sweet Sorbet DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Crisp Cantaloupe
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base and Dress Form insert, small and medium oval punches, Oval Framelits, Pistachio Pudding ribbon, pearls, Scallop Tag Topper punch, Doilie tape, Itty Bitty Shapes punch

The photo quality isn’t great – sorry.  The Crisp Cantaloupe seemed to “glow” while I was taking pictures.  Hugs, Fran

I found a sticker in my box of stuff in the closet!  A cute, little owl that needed to be on a card.  I think I bought these last year for a sorority thing – and now he’s sitting in a tree on a card.  The flower is a button.  I used my craft scissors to cut off the shank and glued it down.

Still wishing for spring!  This Circle Label Framelit card features the cute, cute butterfly and the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper.  There are only 10 days left to grab this DSP!  I found a new “pairing” of sentiments that I really like.  The sentiment on the front is from Too Kind and the inside is from Really Good Greetings.

I ran out of black ribbon – all black ribbon – and used some rhinestone stickers from Elizabeth Craft Designs instead.  Just a little bling for my butterfly Hugs, Fran

Well what can I say?  This is the kind of card that cleaning creates!  While going through a few boxes tucked away in my closet, I found all kinds of embellishments – everything from flowers, to Christmas, to babies, to animals.  I thought I might use some of this stuff – and decided to make a Double High Katie Label card would be a good start. 

I started with my favorite sheet of Watercolor Wonder DSP – and lots of daisies.  The little ladybugs were created with an Elizabeth Craft Designs die and glitter.  The sentiment is from Best of Love. 

On the inside I used Chalk Talk (and more flowers and ladybugs.) 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Chalk Talk, Best of Love
Cardstock – Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Island Indigo, Gumball Green, Watercolor Wonder DSP
Ink – Basic Gray
Etc – Karen Burniston Katie Label Pivot die, ECD Ladybug die, Tasteful Trim die, Ribbon punch, Bird punch, Washi tape (Epic Day), flower stickers

I’ve tried to consolidate some of the stash – a better idea would be to use it up!  Hugs, Fran

I tried the tutorial over at Splitcoast for Dry Emboss Alcohol Resist.  This technique involves dry embossing glossy paper, heat embossing the raised images, airbrushing the design and then removing the color from the raised image.  Lots of firsts-for-me here!  The butterfly is an Elizabeth Craft Design  die that is colored using Silk Microfine glitter.  Me + my cat + glitter = well, use your imagination!  I chose Perfectly Penned to set off this card because I need something large enough to balance it out. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfectly Penned
Cardstock – Basic Black, Whisper White, Glossy
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Copic marker, EDC Butterfly die and silhouette,  assortment of Silk Microfine glitters, Beautifully Baroque embossing folder, airbrush, ECD border stickers

Lots of fun to try – and the added benefit of sparkling all day!  Hugs, Fran

Just another color study!  I remade this card in various color from the oh, so fun, I Am Me Designer Series paper.  First in Real Red.  Remember all those little wooden camera pieces that my daughter gave me?  I colored this one red with reinkers. 

So Saffron for this one – but I left the wooden camera alone (actually, it didn’t take the color well!) 

And here is Tangerine Tango – and a Tangerine Tango camera.

I could do this all day long!  Hugs, Fran

One of my friends and I love to get up early in the morning and meet for coffee whenever we can.  It’s a great way for us to get in some “girl time” before the day takes off.  So the sentiment on the front of my card celebrates this time .  The card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2

Inside I used Karen Burniston’s Garden Bench Pop It Ups die to create this scene.  (Stamp is from Art Impressions)  The die comes with the flowers and grass (and more!) 

To keep “our feet on the ground” I used the grass and few flowers – and a box behind it.  There’s also a box behind the image to keep it steady.

Can you see them?  One on the bench and one on the ground.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfect Blend,  Yippee-Skippee, Coffee BFFs (AI)
Card stock – Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Pool Party, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet DSP (SA
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Garden Bench and Agatha Edges Pop It Ups, Oval Punch, Oval Framelit, Candy dots

Now if only the snow would melt so we could sit on a garden bench.  Hugs, Fran
