Balloon Adventure Shutter Card

I’m working on shutter cards – because I usually get stuck on an idea!  This on uses Balloon Adventure and the matching die set.  The sentiment was punched out with the Duet Banner punch.  The paper is Party Animals – one of my favorites!

Inside is the stamped balloon.  For this one I punched the ends of the shutter part with a circle punch.  It worked fairly well – so I might have to try more shapes  Hugs, Fran

Easter Sampler

I thought I’d change my Valentine sampler to an Easter Sampler.  I used the Circle Spring, Basket Bunch and Suite Sayings stamp sets along with the matching dies to make this one.  The matting is Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral. You can click on the image to see the squares.   Hugs, Fran

Team Egg Cartons

We had a team meeting recently and I had challenged my team to use the egg cartons for a project.  Some of the gals took me up on my challenge and I want to share the results with you today!  Send out some love for……..

Our beach loving friend, Anne!  She did a home decor egg carton.

The carton is decorated with Swirly Bird and the matching dies and filled with…..

sea shells!  Brilliant!  Next up is Lynne……….

She used the Salebration set Hey Chick and made the chicks stand up on the top of her colored egg carton!

Can you see how they stand up?

Inside she made an Easter treat box.  Cute!  Then there was Elena’s carton – which made everyone gasp!

Yeah, I know!  She used paper succulents and some store bought succulents to create a rock garden!

There were so many gorgeous things going here!  See her cute sign?  I played along too……..

I used Bunny Basket to make a traditional Easter egg carton.

And that’s it!  Thanks to gals who participated and hope you’ve enjoyed seeing all these ideas.  Hugs, Fran

Perfect Mix Birthday

Here’s a very simple card for you!  I used Perfect Mix from the Occasions catalog to make this birthday card.  I stamped the mixer twice – once on Pacific Pint and once on the Whisper White and then fussy cut the blue one and popped it up over the sentiment.  I went over the lines on the mixer with a silver gel pen.  The background patterned paper is from Party Animals DSP.  Hugs, Fran

Nailed It

One more in this style – Nailed It.  I used the Serene Scenery DSP for the card, stamped and die cut the hammer and popped it up on the panel.  Funny how this was my least favorite of this style card and one of my daughter’s favorite!  The Congrats was stamped on the inside.  Always great to have some more masculine cards around.  Hugs, Fran

Lift Me Up Birthday

I’ve been doing a lot of this style card recently!  This time I used Lift Me Up to create a birthday card.  The balloon and clouds are die cut with the matching framelits and the Salebration paper Carried Away was used for the card.  (Actually the dots behind the ballon are Mint Macaron from the In Colors paper pack). The clouds are stamped in Smoky Slate and the balloon in Night of Navy.  Hugs, Fran
