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
This is a case of the Wonderful Romance stamp and die in the Occasions catalog. There are so many great dies in this set – but the border die is amazing! It gives you the lattice and leaves in one die! I watercolored the main pieces, die cut them and stacked them all together in a some what copy of the catalog. Lots going on on this card, but it was worth it. Hugs, Fran
This was one of the new sets in the Spring Catalog that I had to have! Florentine Filigree is a bundle that includes the die and stamp set. A Stamparatus is very helpful with this bundle because it’s already set up to stamp with the correct spacing by moving the stamp down hinge, by hinge. I did mine in Pool Party and stamped the larger image in Versamark and white heat embossed, and the smaller image in Pool Party. So pretty! Hugs, Fran
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
This set is called Tea Together and the stamp set is in the Spring Catalog while the dies are in the Saleabration Catalog! I cased the card shown on page 49 of the Spring catalog, using my Stampin Blends to color the teapot and the Delicate Lace paper for the background. What a fun set to color!
For this card I colored the teapot with Stampin Blends in stripes and used another piece of the Lace paper for the background. The bottom of the teapot is tucked under the opening and the rest is popped up with Dimensionals.
FYI – I am having website issues. Big issues and they are my fault! So if things look wonky, that’s what’s going on! Sheesh! Hugs, Fran
I LOVE this die! Absolutely love it! I started by casing the cards in the catalog because I find that the easiest way to get going. This one uses the entire die with one of the stamps used behind it.
This one was done by creating an inked background and using just a piece of the die to create the focal point. So much fun 🙂
This one was created by just floating ink on watercolor paper and letting it gently blend. The sentiment is stamped on vellum that is backed with adhesive sheet. A few stamps at the bottom finish it off.
Now that I’ve cased – I can move on to creating! Hugs, Fran
It’s time for Saleabration! Here’s one of the stamps – Lovely Lattice – that is available for free with a $50 purchase. This also features the beautiful Gingham DSP! Love! I embossed the image and watercolored with ink the flowers. Then I made more using all the colors of the Gingham paper.
This one features the Delightful Daffodil paper.
And here it is in Highland Heather (my personal favorite!)
Balmy Blue.
And all the colors with Lemon Lime Twist! There you have it! Hugs, Fran
It’s almost time for the Occasions Catalog to go live (Jan 3rd) and here’s a sample cased (sort of) from the catalog. The stamp set is All That You Are and I simply used a different a different Designer Series paper- Happiness Blooms – for my card, making it very bright! You can check out the card on page 3 of the catalog and see the differences. Hugs, Fran
Just a quick post to show you the I’lll Be Home stamp set. Â I really wanted this set just to color with my Copic markers. So I stamped in Momento ink and spent some time “me” time just coloring this gorgeous image. Â So much fun! Â Hugs, Fran
From the Occasions Catalog – Mother’s Flair.  I stamped the shoe across the bottom of the paper in Pool Party and colored in the flowers with Stamps Blends,  The base of the card is a notecard from Saleabration (love those!)  I add rhinestones across the bottom and in the center of the flowers for some bling 🙂  The sentiment is from Layering Love and was masked off so it goes across the top.  This set does not carryover into the new catalog so grab it now!  Hugs, Fran
