The watercolor notecards in the Spring Mini (133362) are great to have around to make quick, thoughtful cards when needed.  I stamped the flower from Peaceful Petals on watercolor paper, added some Chevron ribbon and here it is – a sweet card done in a few minutes.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Peaceful Petal
Card stock – watercolor paper, Watercolor Wonder Designer Note cards
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Wild Wasbi
Etc – Oval Framelits, aquapainter, Smokey Slate Chevron ribbon

Such a cute note to send – not every card needs to take hours   Hugs, Fran

Are you working on Valentines?  Here’s one for you – Love you to the Moon.  And I pretty much cased my own card from here to do this one   I used Gorgeous Grunge in Real Red, Smokey Slate and Basic Black for the background and added some washi tape.  The moon spots are touched with Crystal Effects. 

The inside has more washi tape (non-SU gift from my daughter) and the sentiment from Delightful Dozen. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Love You to the Moon, Gorgeous Grunge, Delightful Dozen
Card stock – Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink – Real Red, Smokey Slate, Basic Black
Etc – Clip essentials, washi tape, Banner Framelit, Neutral Candy Dots

It’s fast and easy!  Hugs, Fran

I saw something similar to this on Pinterest and decided to use the layout to make it with SU supplies.  What I liked about it was using a “grain” background with 3-d items – so I inked up Hardwood from the mini.  This is a great background stamp – truly a “must have!”  The largest heart is something on my workspace from another project and the scallop bottom has a layer of Fancy Foil vellum over it. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Follow My Heart, Hardwood
Card Stock – Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Subtle Paper Pack, Basic Gray, Red Glimmer
Ink – Basic Gray
Stampin Write Markers – Basic Gray, Real Red
Etc – Spiral Rose die, Tasteful Trim die, Basic Rhinestones, Baker’s Twine, Heart Framelits, Epic Day Washi tape

The depth of the rose will make this a “hand it to them” kind of card.  It could be mailed in a padded envelope – but this one’s staying local!   Hugs, Fran

Sometimes the paper is so pretty that it stands on it’s own.  That’s how I feel about Venetian Romance (130144.)  Paired with Karen Burniston’s Pop It Up Pivot Butterfly insert – and it’s beautiful. 

I simply adhered to pieces of Designer Series paper together and used the Butterfly Pivot to show the beautiful designs. The die comes with all the extra pieces so I was die cutting scraps all over the place!  I used the Agatha Edges die to cut the one side of the card. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Gift of Kindness
Card stock – Very Vanilla, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Venetian Romance DSP
Ink – Soft Suede
Etc – Pop It Up Butterfly Pivot and Agatha Edges Thinlit, Word Window punch, Delicate Lace Tape

It’s also nice to have thinking of you/sympathy cards on hand instead of trying to make them in the moment.  Hummmm, guess I’ll make a few more.  Hugs, Fran

Here’s a few more Geometrical cards.  This one has a Hardware Clip Essential (129964) on the top so I cut the height of the card down 1/4″.  The colors are Real Red and Pool Party.

This is a case from the mini – but I didn’t have any metal buttons so I substituted a piece of Glimmer Paper.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Geometrical
Card Stock – Whisper White,
Ink – Real Red, Pool Party (Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry)
Etc – Hardware Clip, Washi Tape, Banner Framelit

This set makes easy and fun cards – great to have around!  Hugs, Fran

When I first get a new catalog I like to case my favorite cards – just to get the ideas flowing.  These cards are on page 10 of the Spring/Occasions/whatever it is called mini catalog.  They use the Geometrical stamp set.  I really like the top card – and the bottom turned out just okay. 

But it was fun to start playing with the Hexagon Hive Thinlit!  (tip – place a piece of waxed paper between the paper and the die for easy release!) 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Geometrical, Gorgeous Grunge
Card stock – Whisper White
Inks – Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush, Smokey Slate, Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Hexagon Hive Thinlit, sequins, washi tape, black cord, sewing machine

Find time to stamp something today!  Hugs, Fran

This card was made for a good friend of mine and this sentiment from Perfect Pennants was, well, perfect!  I based the colors on the Retro Fresh This and That Washi tape. 

On the inside I stamped one of the tape looking stamps across the bottom.  This could easily be more washi tape if you aren’t in the mood to try and stamp a straight line!.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Perfect Pennants, Gorgeous Grunge, Petite Pairs
Card stock – Very Vanilla
Ink – Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango
Etc – Retro Fresh Washi Tape, Cute Clip, Banner Framelit

Hope you have a great weekend!  Hugs, Fran

I used the note cards (131527) as a base to create a set of cards featuring the See Ya Later SAB set.  They look like an ice cream shop using the In Color Pattern Pack!  The easiest way to stamp the images is to ink the stamp in the color – and use a Basic Black Stampin Write marker to go over the words.  You get a nice, crisp image this way. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – See Ya Later
Card stock – In Color Pattern Pack 2013-2015
Ink – In Colors
Etc – Basic Black Stampin Write Marker, Oval Framelits, Note Cards and Envelopes

That’s it!  Very easy and sweet.  Now I’m going to line the envelopes and finish this project.  Hugs, Fran
