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

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

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

A Musical Birthday

Karen Burniston challenged us to use any of her new Pop It Ups dies to create anything we wanted – makes my head spin!  I decided to use her Pop It Ups Accordion Fancy Label to create a birthday card.  The “Happy Birthday” is an Elizabeth Craft Design die that is so nice and thin I could bend is in an arc across the front.  The flower is a stack of Petite Petal punch flowers scrunched to make a little flower.  The little banner is the new banner punch in the SAB mini – rounded with an oval punch on the top.

Here it is open.  The center square is embossed using My Friend.  The “to You” is made up of the “You” in the ECD die Thank You and the “to” is the T from birthday and O from you.  (Does that make sense?)  The die for the Red Glimmer paper diamonds in the corner comes with the Accordion Fancy Label die!

Supplies
Stamp Set – My Friend
Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Red Glimmer paper, Basic Black, Modern Medley DSP
Ink – Versamark
Etc – Pop It Ups Accordion Fancy Label, ECD Happy Birthday and Thank You dies, Small banner punch, Petite Petal punch, Candy dots

Lots of fun!  Hugs, Fran

Sometimes it’s just fun to mix styles and see what happens!  I used the Soho Subway Designer Series paper and From My Heart stamp set and came up with this Katie Label Double High Pivot card. 

The heart in the center is “filled” with Crystal Effects. I love the look it give it – kind of 3-D ish – and it makes the colors really pop. 

There is so much going on in the paper that I stuck with the grid paper for the sentiments. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – From My Heart
Cardstock – Island Indigo, Early Espresso, Soho Subway DSP
Ink – Early Espresso, Crisp Cantaloup
Etc – Katie Label Pop It Ups die, Agatha Edges, Candy Dots, This and That Epic Day Washi Tape

Have fun mixing and matching!  Hugs, Fran

I made several of these little notecards using Banner Blast and the matching punch – Saleabration items!  These notecards are no longer available, but there are lots of other notecards from which to choose in the catalog, so I thought I’d share this idea. 

On the inside I added a Pop It Ups by Karen Burniston – Lucy Label – and another banner.  Even though it’s a tiny card, the Lucy Label fits any size. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Banner Blast (SA, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card stock – Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Real Red
Ink – Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Real Red
Etc – Lucy Label Pop It Ups, Heart Framelit, Rhinestones, SAB Twine

It’s like a mini – pop!  Hugs, Fran

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

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.
