Meant to Be Valentine Shaker

Valentine’s Day is almost here and I’m getting out a few more cards. This one uses the Meant To Be bundle from the Occasions catalog and a Concord & 9th Mosaic Turnabout Stamp. I die cut the heart from Pool Party card stock and traced around it on the white base – and die cut that. Then I cut 2 pieces of acetate and sandwiched some sequins between them, put it between the 2 layers and added the scallop trim to finish it off.

So now you can see the sequins on both sides! Hugs, Fran

Meant to Be Treats

How about some treat packaging for Valentines Day? I started with the new All My Love DSP and die cut it using the Petite Treats die with the heart topper. Then I stamped the heart from Meant to Be, added some color and a cute sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings. There’s a frame heart that I die cut and added around the heart and glued it to the treat.

It’s super cute and holds quite a bit! And it’s easy to make up so you can make lots of them. Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston Design Team December Challenge

My inky creation for this month’s KB Design Team Challenge is features the Karen Burniston Tag Book and the Merry Christmas word die.  The little snowmen are from the Mama Elephant Snowman Agenda.  I used Distressed Oxides to make the snowy background.

Inside the snowmen are playing across the Tag Book!

Here’s a close up of them.  I added a few on the outside edges and the hinges.

It’s such a great die!  While this one can be mailed, I’m tying it to a package.  Make sure to check out all the design team’s cards tomorrow on Karen’s blog!  Hugs, Fran

 

A Day Late

A day late AND using retired products!  This is the Karen Burniston Spinner Square and the Truly Tailored suite from Stampin Up.

This Spinner Square is so easy to adapt to any theme/stamp!  The block is large enough to show off any sentiment or image.  Hugs, Fran

Paper Pros Challenge June – Food and Drink

The Paper Pros challenge this month is Food and Drink and I have a cute KB Circle Charm for you.  I started with some new SU paper – Broadway Bound – and the Karen Burniston Circle Charm die and Coffee Charms.  The cupcake is fussy cut from the paper but you could also use the KB Birthday Charms die to make one 🙂

Inside the Birthday Charm Charm cupcake is suspended in the middle.  The sentiment is from SU Happy Birthday Gorgeous.

Here’s a closer look and the center with the “lights” turned down so the vibrant colors don’t knock your eyes out!  Make sure to check out the other Pros and we eat, drink and be merry this month!.  Hugs, Fran

Paper Pros May Challenge – No Socks Day

The Paper Pros have a fun May Challenge – No Socks Day!  I decided to use some cute Mo Manning fairies and Karen Burniston’s Twist Panel die for my card.

These cute images are enjoying the sunshine – and no socks 🙂  Colored with Copic markers with shimmer pen on their wings, the little fairies spread across the Twist Panel.  The pretty scalloped circle piece is a retired KB die.

Make sure to check out the other Paper Pros – and their toes 🙂  Hugs, Fran

Kiss the Cook

Riley the Moose is cookin’!  My youngest is a chef and I thought this would be a cute card for her.  The star is Riley the Moose and Karen Burniston’s Square Spinner die.

So you can tell Riley has really been cooking up a storm!  The hamburger and hotdog are punch art and the bottle is from Stampin’ Up’s Bubble Over.  They slide out as the card is opened.

I think she’ll enjoy this!  Hugs, Fran

Happily Ever After

The wedding season is here and I have a pretty card for the newlyweds.  This is a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card made with the Karen Burniston Happily Ever After word die and her Cake trim die.  I used Gold foil paper and the Fabulous Foil Designer Series acetate.

Inside is the KB Cake Pop Up die done in gold.  The sentiment is Stampin Up’s Special Celebrations, heat embossed in gold. The acetate is attached under the trim, cake and sentiment boxes.

The cake uses the Bundle of Joy specialty paper and the beautiful trim is Gold foil using the KB Cake Trim die.  It’s a shiny card!  Hugs, Fran

 

Paper Pros February Challenge – Love

This month’s Paper Pro challenge is Love.  I used the new Karen Burniston Spinner Square Pop Up die to make a Valentine card.  The front uses the Painted Love DSP and Gold foil papers along with Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Tangerine Tango card stocks.  The little heart is Powder Pink, painted with a shimmer pen and cover with Glossy Accents.  The row of gold hearts are die cut with Karen Burniston’s Cake Trim die.  It’s all finished off with a Powder Pink ribbon.

The dies on the Spinner Square can cut an opening on the front.  As you open the card, the message pops out!

Since I turned mine vertically, the message pops out from the bottom.  The sentiment is from Sure do Love You.    Hugs, Fran
