Here’s another birthday card inspired by one on Pinterest using a different set but the same layout. I used Fabulous Four and Ballon Bash. We made these using different colors for the balloon and different Candy Dots on each. Hugs, Fran

Beautiful Paper Double High
There is a piece of Designer Series paper called Painted Blooms (page 18) in the Occasions Mini that is so pretty it’s hard to cut into it! I decided to make Karen Burniston’s Double High Katie Label Pop It Ups card with it so I could show off as much as possible the design.
The sentiment is Petite Pairs and I used the Butterflies Thinlit and the Pop It Ups Paris Edges on the front and inside. Here’s the link to make the Double High card – it’s one of my favorite techniques! Hugs, Fran
Celebrating Birthdays
We stamped a lot of birthday cards yesterday! This one was inspired by one done by MandyPandy on Splitcoast. I loved the angle on her card – and though I changed quite a bit about it – I kept the general layout. And for yesterday we changed the Candy Dots to Salebration buttons! Hugs, Fran
Balloon Bash
We all need birthday cards! This is one of the cards we will be making tomorrow at my Birthday Stamp a Stack. The stamp set is Balloon Bash and the Designer series paper is Birthday Bash – both from the Occasions Mini. I really like the “HB” image! It’s stamped twice – once on the card and then once fussy cut and popped up. Hugs, Fran
To a Classic
The challenge for Karen Burniston’s design team continues today to use 3 or more Pop It Ups die to create a card. For this card I used the Star accordion die, Star Edge, and Circle Accordion die. The stamp set is Guy Greetings from the Occasions Mini.
To get the “Grandfather” in the center of the card, I masked off the “pa” part of Grandpa and stamped it with “Father.” Since I was using Photopolymer stamps – it was easy. The Star and Circle Accordion dies go together nicely (no fiddling around – the just work together!) This was fun to make! Hugs, Fran
Sweet Valentine
I love this Valentine set from the Occasions Mini – Hey Valentine! For this card, I colored the fish with my Blendabilities and used Karen Burniston’s new Rectangular Pull Card for the card. The “wave” edge is her new Beach Edges. The glasses on the yellow fish are filled with Crystal Effects 🙂
As you open the card, there is a mechanism (optional) that pops up so your card becomes even more interactive! Too cute!
The paper is from the Saleabration pack – Best Year Ever. Perfect for water, snow or sky. You need some!! Hugs, Fran
Mother’s Love Accordion
Lot’s of new things here! The stamp set is Mother’s Love and is in the Occasions Mini. It has great sentiments – and some beautiful flowers. The paper is the Something Borrowed Designer Series paper (also in the Occasions Mini – page 42 – check it out! It’s beautiful!) AND the Katie Label die from Karen Burniston is a wonderful die to showcase all these pretty products!
I even added some of the Sahara Sand Lace Trim – just because it all goes together so well. Hugs, Fran
Love is Kindness
This card is the new Tags Pivot Card from Karen Burniston. I paired it up with Stampin Up’s Love is Kindness in the Occasions Mini. The card base is stamped with the Dictionary background stamp and the image was stamped, colored with Blendabilities and fussy cut. A little Typeset Designer Series paper and some Chevron ribbon finishes off this card.
There is a little, tiny piece of one of the flowers that was added to the front to keep the bouquet full. Hugs, Fran
Time to Celebrate
Time to Celebrate is one of the hostess choices in the Occasions Mini catalog. A friend of mine and I love these images and she “challenged” me to make something with them. I did some very clean and simple cards – simply stamping the images in Momento Tux Black ink and coloring them Blendabilities. The only addition are some Candy Dots in the corner.
So there you have it! Clean and simple! Hugs, Fran
Happy Times
This stamp comes from the Occasions Mini set Hello Life. My card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and the heart on the sentiment is filled with Dazzling Details. It sparkles! But then you open it up and….
It’s Karen Burniston’s new Pop It Ups Eiffel Tower die! This die has a “stand” that die cuts directly into the card. The doily is another new Pop It Ups – Paris Edges. Perfect!
I hope You have a happy day today! Hugs, Fran
