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 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
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
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
This card is made with Hero Arts Window on Love Confetti background die that I paper pieced using Real Red, Powder Pink and Flirty Flamingo. The gold sentiment, border and hearts are the new Painted Love Gold vinyl stickers from Stampin Up! I simply pressed them over the background die.
And I added some Glossy Accents on the Love and the hearts (couldn’t resist!) Such fun! Hugs, Fran
Brushos are a new product offering for Stampin Up. They are a crystal watercolor powder that you paint or shake out of little containers onto watercolor paper. Of course there are lots of techniques for this product but I’ll show you 3 ways to get you started. I am using the Beautiful Day stamp set from the Occasion catalog and Amazing You from the Saleabration catalog.
For this first card I stamped the image with Black Archival ink onto watercolor paper. I lightly misted the paper and sprinkled on some Prussian Blue and Yellow Brusho. Then I misted the paper some more until the colors began to blend.
On this card I heat embossed the butterfly with white embossing powder, filled the areas of the butterfly with water and sprinkled on the Gamboge and Yellow Brusho. Once it dried I brushed off any powder that was outside of the embossed image and then misted the watercolor paper and used the Prussian Blue and Yellow Brushos around it.
For this card I stamped the butterfly in Bermuda Bay and then misted the card stock with water. This caused the butterfly to bleed. While it was wet I added the Yellow Brusho. Once the entire piece was dry, I revamped the butterfly. All the cards were finished with some sequins and the Tutti-Frutti DSP. I encourage you to try this product but be warned – it’s very addicting! Hugs, Fran
