So what do you do when your daughter brings you a package of wooden camera shapes?  You pair one up with the Essential Wooden Elements out of the Spring/Occasions Mini and make a card!  And doesn’t this paper from I Am Me work perfectly with this?  I also used the On Film Framelits and Arrow embossing folder – plus some Washi tape.  (Gotta use washi tape!)


The elements are very light weight and fairly thin.  I adhered them with some Tombow Multipurpose adhesive.  To finish off the camera, I filled the camera lens area with Crystal Effects.

The sentiment is from Remembering Your Birthday. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Hip Notes, Remembering Your Birthday
Card stock  – Basic Gray, Pool Party, Whisper White, I Am Me DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Basic Gray, Pool Party
Etc – Essential Wooden Shapes, Crystal Effects, On Film Framelits, Candy Dots, Epic Day This & That Washi tape, Arrows embossing folder

The wooden elements are really easy to stamp on. I even used a Stamp a Ma Jig to line up the words with no problem.  Fun, fun, fun!  Hugs, Fran

Cool Kids Accordion

The Cool Kids set is perfect for kids of any age!  I paired it up with Karen Burniston’s Pop It Up Circle Accordion Framelit and matching Edges framelits and the colors in the Kaleidoscope Designer Series paper and came up with a card to celebrate the fun of being a kid.  The front has the cat embossed with black embossing powder and fussy cut.  To do the “awesome” I stamped it three times – Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay – and cut it apart.  (You could do this part with Stampin Write Markers)

So on the front the cat has a kite – that magically changes into a paper airplane on the inside.  (!)  Ta-da!


In the center I accented the sentiment with Candy Dots – love them!  And the pup is also embossed in black. This card style can hold a lot “stuff” but I try to be careful with the layers and touch each other.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Cool Kids
Card stock – Basic Black, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay
Etc – Pop It Up Circle Accordion and Edge Framelits, Bold Bright buttons, Candy Dots, Bake’s Twine

Fun colors, fun stamp – Hugs, Fran

Here’s a “funny” – last night I saw a package on my porch and went out to get it.  It was something my aunt and uncle had mailed me 3 1/2 years ago!!

I might be behind on things – but I’m ahead of UPS!  Hugs, Fran

Love this new Designer Series paper from the Occasions Mini – High Tide – and the stamp set Hello Sailor that goes with it!
I used my SU exclusive Pop Up base to make this card!

The image is die cut using the Deco Label Framelits – and the little banner is really the new banner punch (coming for SAB!)

She’s a sailor girl looking for her man   I used my Pop Up Dress insert and followed the color scheme in the DSP.  So yes, it really is Calypso Coral instead of Red!

To make the dress, I die cut it in Pacific Point, Whisper White, Calypso Coral and Pacific Point DSP and just layered the pieces so that they would show on the bottom.  I did hand cut the collar – but once you have the white piece the way you want it, just adhere the next color and trim away.  I used the Word Bubble Framelits to make the talk bubble.  The hat is hand cut front with a circle behind it.

The sentiment on the bottom is from Best of Love – it’s a good one to have!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Hello, Sailor, Best of Love
Card Stock – Pacific Point, Whisper White, Calypso Coral, High Tide DSP
Ink – Pacific Point
Etc – Pop N Cuts Base and Dress Form insert, Deco Label and Word Bubble Framelits, gold brads, banner punch, Baker’s Twine

Got my baby off to England, finally!  That made for an eventful week – glad it’s the weekend!  Hope you have a wonderful day!  Hugs, Fran

I made this card for my son’s birthday – and forgot to photograph it flattened.  It’s a “Pop Up Box Card ” card and you find the instructions on Splitcoast.  I started thinking I’d use Peachy Keen (because he’s a movie kind of guy) and I did use the framelits and some of the arrows, but I kept getting drawn in by the sayings in Starburst Sayings.  So there you go!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Peachy Keen, Starburst Sayings
Card Stock – Pool Party, Basic Gray, Whisper White, I Am Me DSP
Ink – Real Red, Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Pool Party
Etc – Peachy Keen framelits, Candy Dots, Small Heart punch, Heart Framelits, banner punch, fishing line

My youngest was suppose to leave for England yesterday for a 3 week class.  After many hours of delay, the flight was canceled and they can’t leave until Thursday!   Yikes!  To make a long story short – I drove her to the airport the night before to avoid the “storm” that never came – and now I get to go back to get her until Thursday.  Poor girl – really poor teacher!  Stay warm!  Hugs, Fran

I cased this card straight out of the Occasions Mini – with a few changes.  I used the new Arrows embossing folder instead of stamping the bottom of the card – and I used a different button (because that is what I had on hand!)  This is a cute stamp and one that can be used for a lot of different style cards.  Just thought I’d start out casing!

Stamp Set – Vivid Vases
card stock – Calypso Coral, Pool Party watercolor paper, So Saffron, Watercolor Wonder DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon, Pool Party, Soft Sky, Calypso Coral, Real Red, Gumball Green, Crushed Curry
Etc – Arrows EF, Baker’s Twine, Small Banner punch, metal button, aqua painter

We did not get everything taken down and put away yesterday.  Not because I had so much stuff out – but because my kiddos quit on me half way through!  Today I’m going to be a drill sargent and get it finished (wish me luck!)  Hugs, Fran

Happy Occasions Mini!  It starts today!  The sample of People Like You on page 7 of the Occasions Mini is my (current) favorite in the mini catalog.  Imagine my surprise when I realized it’s a wrapped box and not a card.  So I turned a few things around and made it a card.  I meant to use just 2 paper doilies – but I ended up with 3.  I have the hardest time getting them apart! 

This little card combines lots and lot of fun new stuff.

Supplies
Stamp Set – People Like You
card stock – Whisper White, watercolor paper, Watercolor Wonder DSP, Gold foil, Modern Medley DSP
Ink – Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry
Etc – Label Framelits, Gold cord, Watercolor Wonder Washi tape, Gold Glimmer Brad, Paper Doilies,

It’s a snow day here – stay safe and warm!  Hugs, Fran

Love You to the Moon is a set in the Occasions Mini and it has lots of really cute Valentine/Love You images and sayings.  I cased this layout from someone – and I have to admit that I can’t find the original person!  On her card, she had circles instead of hearts and a different color scheme- do you recognize it?   I also added the little banner punch and arrow clip to the side.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Love You to the Moon
card stock – Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush, In Colors DSP, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer
Stampin Write Markers – Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe
Etc – Chalk Talk Framelits, Cute Clips, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (Sale a bration!) Full Heart punch

Today I am going to tackle taking down the Christmas tree – wish me luck.  So much fun putting it up – such a mess taking it down!  Hugs, Fran
