This must be my favorite suite of products in the mini catalog – Happy Watercolor and Designer Series paper that matches.  Here I used Karen Burniston’s Katie Label Pivot Pop It Up to make a card using the Watercolor Wonder DSP to show off the sentiment. 

The paper has such pretty designs!  A pivot card is a nice way to show them off.  And I love polka dots so the Distressed Dots embossing folder was perfect here. (and it’s a Saleabration item!)

I even used it on the Pansy Punch!

This DSP is so pretty.  It might be my favorite piece in the package!  Hugs, Fran

Funny, funny – this stamp set matches it’s name – Giggle Greetings.  Here is a very simple card to show off the cute images.  The “ribbon” behind the cat is really two1 1/4 ” square punches matted with 1 3/8 square punches.  
I masked off the words on the bottom of this stamp with tape and stamped them on the inside.  
Supplies
Stamp Set – Giggle Greetings
Card stock – Smokey Slate, Basic Black, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet

Etc – Circle Framelits, Square punches
This would be an easy set to make as a set of cards.  Hugs, Fran

Here’s something fun!  Karen Burniston did a video to make her Katie Label Pivot die twice as big and it’s a great way to show off beautiful DSP and fun stamps.  I used the Eastern Elegance Designer Series paper and the SAB set You’re Lovely to make this 5 x 7 card. 

Here it is open and it’s amazingly pretty sturdy!  (Though the photograph is kind of wonky) 

I added some Dazzling Detail to the flowers for just a touch of sparkle.

Stamp Set – You’re Lovely
Card Stock – Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Eastern Elegance
Ink – Basic Gray
Stampin Write Markers – Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz

Happy Valentine Day!  And the final (for now) butterfly design is this one.  Again I used Gorgeous Grunge – and to vary the width of the lines, I masked off sections of the card using Post It notes.  This way I could fit all 7 colors on there.  What did we do before Post it notes?  I love this sentiment from Gifts of Kindness. 

Supplies
Stamp Set -Gifts of Kindness, Gorgeous Grunge
Card Stock – Whisper White, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Delightful Daffodil, Wisteria Wonder, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo
Ink -Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Delightful Daffodil, Wisteria Wonder, Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizzazz, Melon Mambo
Etc – Beautiful Wings Embosslit

It has been so refreshing to work with these colors – especially since all this snow is just white!  Hugs, Fran

Inspired by Pinterest – a heart full of butterflies.  To make this card, I used the Heart Framelit – but instead of die cutting, I traced the heart shape onto my card stock very lightly.  Then I die cut lots of butterflies using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and glued them in the heart keeping them all inside the line.  The Embosslits are great because they cut and emboss in one step.  Once they are placed just erase the line.  I even gave my sentiment a rainbow feel!

Think of all the shapes you could do with this idea!  I have lots of butterflies left over – so you might have to put up with butterflies for a few days.  Hugs, Fran

This is the Pop It Up Hearts Pivot die paired with Follow My heart.  I had some left over pieces from this card and just couldn’t resist making a pivot card for someone special.  Doesn’t the Red Glimmer paper look lovely?  And the keyhole is the Silver Foil paper. 

Here it is open – with a Silver Foil key hanging from some Baker’s Twine. 

The Red Glimmer frame was done by cutting with two Framelits at the same time.  It makes such a nice, tiny frame!

Card stock – Pink Pirouette, Red Glimmer, Basic Gray Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Subtles Paper pack

I started with winter (since that is where
we are at the moment!)  The base of the entire card is Soft Sky and the
Oval Dots Frame edge is Whisper White.  I used a gel pen to make the
snow on the branches.

Spring uses Pistachio Pudding and Garden Green leaves with Pink Pirouette DSP flowers and the In Color paper pack for the frame.

Oh my bleeding heart!  I saw this idea on Pinterest – but I did the “foundation” of it in a very different way and got a VERY different look.  The one I saw used watercolors on smooth paper.  I used reinker on watercolor paper.  My card turned out much darker (much, much darker!)  I punched the hearts out of watercolor paper and glued them down.  After dried I used reinkers in the the lids of the stamp pads and an aquapainter to start the ink flowing.  The sequins are colored with Copic markers – which worked very well.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfect Pennants
Card stock – Pink Pirouette, Basic Black, watercolor paper
Ink – Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Melon Mambo
Etc – Aquapainter, sequins, makers, Envelope Punch board (to round the corners), Heart Framelits, Large Pearl

Try it and let me know how it works for you!  Hugs, Fran
