This card came together from a group of pieces that were in my stamping “pile!”  I had a dress form that I had already stamped and then changed my mind, a butterfly that was a left over from a project and several doilies that had been used to spritz another card.  Put them together and you get this!

This is the card that I used the doilies to spritz the front.  It’s a case of one that Donna Griffith did at a stamping demo.  So the Doilies were already very saturated with Shimmer Mist before I even started!  I just turned the center one over so it was solid.

The dress form had some of the Lace tape in the Spring Mini on the front – then sponged over and removed.  En Francais was stamped over the entire piece. 

Fabulous Flourishes was stamped on the background using Stampin Write Markers.  Then I used Crystal Effects on the Not Quite Navy flowers to make them pop.

All typos are my cat’s fault.  He has decided that he must sit on my arms while I type!  Hugs, Fran

This is a case of a project that the amazing Karen Burniston did for UStamp with Dawn and Friends Big Shot Roundup.  A Floating Framelits card – with a Dress Form embellishment, of course!  I used the Window Framelit – which didn’t work quite as well as the Label Framelit she used – but is still fun.  You can find the instructions over at UStamp.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Wonderful Mother
cardstock – Whisper White, Tea for Two Designer Series paper
Ink – Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake
Etc – Pop N Cuts Base die, Windows Framelits, Dress Up Framelit, Flower Trim, 1 1/4 and 1 3/4 circle punches 

I’m going to start cooking today for Easter I’m having my 3 children and several friends for the weekend so I think I’d best get a few things finished.  And of course, we’re scrappin’ tonight!  I can’t wait!  Hugs, Fran

Comfort Cafe – such pretty Designer Series paper!  Are you starting to think about the patterns that will retire – and stocking up on those you HAVE to have?  This is one of mine!  I used a Sizzix Accordion Flip die to make this album and the yummy Comfort Cafe DSP!  This is how it looks closed.  I cut through the first two layers with the Heart framelits – another love!  The Cajun Craze heart is floating – on fishing line, of course

I used a line of Basic Pearls to outline the heart.

A window sheet stamped in Whisper White Craft ink – Netting – for one of the see through panels!

Fabulous Phrases in the tiniest heart – and some Cajun Craze ink. 

And the beautiful sentiment from Wonderful Mother – it’s just perfect!  Plus a Cute Clip – hearts all over the place!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Fabulous Phrases, Wonderful Mother
card stock – Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Comfort Cafe Designer Series paper
Ink – Soft Suede, Cajun Craze, Whisper White craft
Etc – Hearts Framelits, Cute Clips, 1 3/4 circle punch, pearls, window sheet, Soft Suede taffeta ribbon, fishing line, Sizzix Accordion Flip die

Start making a list of the Designer Series papers you want now – and you’ll beat the rush in May.  (And put this one on your list!)  Hugs, Fran

Mother's Day

I was so excited thinking I was getting ahead on Mother’s Day – until I remembered that Mother’s Day was a few weeks ago and I already made (and gave) several cards to my mom!  Sheesh!  So I guess I’m ahead of the game for next year!

I used this sketch –



and created this card –


(I meant to only color some of the flowers – in case you were wondering if I’ve completely lost it!) 

Supplies
 Stamp sets – Elements of Style, All Holidays
card stock – Pink Pirouette, Pink Pirouette DSP, Whisper White
Ink – Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Stampin Write Marker – Pink Pirouette
Etc – Early Espresso Satin ribbon, pearls

The brain freezes may be caused by being asked to demo at Stampin’ UP’s convention this year!  I’m thrilled to be asked – but it does cause some major panic!  Hopefully I’ll calm down soon so I can get some samples done.
Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
