This card uses Flower Patch and the matching die, Flower Fair Framelits. I tried several color combinations – Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party, So Saffron and Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Real Red, Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder and Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango. The centers are embellished with the Metal Rimmed Pearls. Can you think of any other good color combos? Hugs, Fran
So while I was wandering around Pinterest, I saw a beautiful card done by Jennifer McGuire (I think!) using the resist technique. This is where you heat emboss your image and sponge (or brayer) ink over the image and the ink “resists” your embossing. I tried it with the Saleabration set Hello. I stamped the image over the front of the card, embossed in white, and sponged with Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay. The result was a bright, happy card! The sentiment is from Timeless Love – one of my favorite sentiments!. This Hello set is only available for a few more days! Need it? Yes you do – and you need to hurry! Hugs, Fran
This card is made with the Large Number Framelits dies and a new Saleabration set coming out of the 15th of this month – Party Pants. The 1,3 and 5 are die cut and colored underneath and the 2 and 4 are popped up.
Then I added lots of Candy Dots! Inspired by one I saw online (I think it was Mama Elephant) that used little numbers, I knew I could make this with the Large Numbers (just fewer numbers.) I think this would make a cute kiddos card or switch up the numbers, have it say 29 – and send it to me 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Lucky the Rabbit is getting ready for Easter! This month’s challenge is glitter and this card is covered with it! It’s a Fancy Label Accordion – and a lot more. Behind Lucky are some clouds stenciled with Karen Burniston’s Partly Cloudy stencil. Lucky is painting an egg from the Easter Egg die all done with Silk Microfine Glitter. His paintbrush is the spatula from Props 8. I cut down the handle and dipped it glue and several colors of glitter. The paint drops and splatters are from the Cake Pop Up (candle flames and strawberry tops.)
The edges are from the Star Fancy Edges and glittered too.
Here’s the card open!
The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s new Greatest Greetings. To make the paint bucket, I used Lucky’s basket cut in Silver foil with drops of glue and glitter. Make sure to check out the other cards on Karen’s Blog! Hugs, Fran
Glitter! This month challenge is glitter. That wonderful, sparkly stuff (that stays with all day) and makes all our cards special 🙂 Today’s card is Rocky the crab on an Oval Pull Card. He’s out on the sparkly sand. His sunglasses are the Santa glasses from Props 5 covered in Crystal Effects. His bright, sunny paper is Stampin Up’s Schoolhouse Designer Series paper.
Glitter is hard to photograph! It was done with the ECD Silk Microfine glitter in Cool Diamonds.
Here’s the inside. The sun is on the mechanism from the Rectangle Pull card and it’s covered in glitter. The sentiment is computer generated.
Here’s Rocky taking a better look! I’m wearing glitter today. Check out the other cards on Karen’s blog. Have a sparkly day – Hugs, Fran
Party with Cake? Is there any other way to party? This is my take on a card on page 6 of the Occasions mini. The front uses the new Party with Cake set and the Lots of Labels Framelits.
And the inside uses the Party Pop Up Thinlits die. To easily attach the letters to the die, I just ran them through my Xyron and made them into sticker. The pop up only has one fold so it’s easy to make. Have I said “easy” enough? Hugs, Fran
Welcome to February’s Creative Circle Blog Hop. This month is all about hearts. 
I chose Groovy Love and Hello Life stamp sets with the new Watermelon Wonder ribbon for my card. The background is the Happy Hearts embossing folder. This is a cute Valentine – but can also be used for any other occasion.
Make sure to check out the rest of the Creative Circle – and find more ways to use hearts! Hugs, Fran
Fran Cassidy Sabad – You are here!
Another catalog case using the new Party Pop Up dies. These easy to use dies make your cards hold a fun surprise. I used the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack. It has 48 sheets of cute designs! That’s a lot of paper 🙂
Inside is the other die – popping out to celebrate. That’s a fun card! Hugs, Fran
There are only 2 weeks left get certain SAB products – Hello, Sky is the Limit, and Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper! These will not be available after February 15!
There are some new things coming out after that but if you want these, you need to hurry 🙂 Hugs, Fran
First – I apologize for the terrible photo. It is so hard to take a picture of white cards and I need to change my background. Having said that, this is Over the Rainbow from the annual catalog. Cute! Simple coloring and a fun card. Do you know the rainbow song? (red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue. I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too.) Those are the colors on this card 🙂 I tried to explain this to a friend, and she just looked at me like I’d lost my mind. Do you know this song? Hugs, Fran
