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.

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

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.

Cardstock – Sahara Sand, Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet Dsp
Ink – Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black
Etc – Circle Label Framelit, Tasteful Trim die, Rhinestone sticker

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

Very “punny!”  Here’s a card using the Oh Whale stamp set from the Spring Mini and the matching Sizzlit.  I used the exclusive Stampin Up Pop N Cuts base – imagine that!  Look closely at the bottom left side of the card.  That’s what happens when you’re not careful measuring the inside elements  

Here’s the inside of the invitation.  I do not have a two year old boy – this card had a mind of it’s own.  The waves are created by using the negative space from the scallop on the Tasteful Trim die.  The insert is the Pop N Cuts Party Phrase and matching Sizzlit die. 

“Look who’s turning” (and “whale-abrate” on the front) was done in MDS2 – handy for making your own sentiments.  Even when they’re not so great!

“You’re Invited” is from the Make a Wish stamp set in the Spring Mini.

I saw these owls on Creating the Hive attributed to Kerry’s Paper Crafts.  They are created using the Big Shot Pillow Box die.  Aren’t they cute?  I couldn’t resist having them hold a paper chain of hearts!

I tried two different ways to do the “feathers” on the owls.  The one of the left (Melon Mambo) uses the 3/4″ circle punch to make the feathers.  Each one is attached separately  The one on the right (Pumpkin Pie) uses the Big Shot Tasteful Trim die.  Can you see the difference?

My pre -order comes today so I’m cleaning up as fast as I can so I have room to play!  It’s a cold, rainy day here – perfect for a pre-order!  Hugs, Fran
