Sealed with Love

Valentines!  Yes, it’s time to start thinking about them.  Using the new Sealed with Love, I created a special Valentine.  On the front I used the new Sending Love Designer Series paper, Sealed with Love stamp set and the Sweet & Sassy heart dies.  The heart behind the sentiment is cut from Glimmer paper.

Inside I made a heart pop up!  Following Karen Burniston’s directions for a Twist Circle Panel Card, I changed the panel to hearts.  All you need is 4 hearts that are approximately 3 inches tall.  I adhered them together so they measure 9″ long and scored at the same measurements in the video.  The “i love” was die cut from Sunshine Wishes and the “you” is from Hello You thinlits.  The glimmer hearts are from my stash.  I hope you’ll try it!  Hugs, Fran

Little Cuties

Do you ever buy a set because of one or two images?  Yep, that’s why I bought Little Cuties!  The kitten and puppy are so sweet I just had to have it!  Colored with Copics, I used these two together to make a simple card.  I stamped the puppy and put a mask over him so I could stamp the kitten behind him.  I also masked off part of the sentiment. The balloons are from Bella & Friends.  Hugs, Fran

Building Cages

This new set is Builder Birdcage and it comes with lots of pieces to create all sorts of birdcage scenes.  For this first card I just made a basic cage with one little bird.  The paper is Sweet Sugarplum and the Sweet Sugarplum Designer Series paper.  To make the chain that holds the perch fit on the cage, I used a post it note to cover the top of cage (the chain is long)  Hugs, Fran

Beautiful You in Color

Splashes of color make this gal look like she’s dancing in the sunshine.  I splashed the color on Shimmery White card stock – drying it between each color – and then stamped the Beautiful You girl in Stazon.  The little splatters are from Avant Garden.  Colors used are Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Tangerine Tango.

For this card, I did the same technique using Pool Party, Island Indigo and Soft Sky.  The splatter is done in Soft Sky.  It’s addicting!  Hugs, Fran

Valentines Day?  Yep!   This card is made with the new Hexagon Dynamic Textured embossing folder and the “love” from Sunshine Wishes framelits.  The heart was was cut from the Sweet & Sassy Framelits in Glimmer paper.  I sponged on ink – Real Red, Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette onto water color paper and then embossed it.  The love was cut from Black card stock and then fun foam, layered together and covered in Glossy Accents.  Very simple.  Hugs, Fran

Who doesn’t love a sweet monster with a birthday wish?  This Yummy in my Tummy set is from the Occasions Mini and I’ve paired him with the Cool Treats set and Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series paper.  Plus he’s on an action wobbler!

His popsicle is covered with Glossy Accents so it shines and he is colored with Copic Markers.  Hope you enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

The Occasions catalog and Sale a bration start tomorrow and I think this set – Beautiful You – will be a winner!  These are some of my first samples.  The larger “squiggle” image fits on her dress!  Simple stamping at it’s best!

Or some paper piecing for her dress in a monochromatic color scheme.  The polka dot paper is from Pop of Pink – so I added a pink belt to her outfit.  Easy!  Hugs, Fran

Cake Crazy

I have a “thing” for tall, skinny cards!  ( 4 1/2 x 8 1/2) I’m not sure why I love them, but I do.  And this new Cake Crazy set makes them!  I used Cake Crazy and Big on Birthdays with the Party Animal Designer Series paper to make this.

Cake Crazy is a builder type of set – you use the different pieces to make any style cake.  I wanted the cake in the background so the sentiment would be front and center.

Once the cake and sentiment were stamped, I went over some of the details with some left over Dazzling Details.

And added some banners and a button to the top.  You can kind of see on the left where I stitched the Pacific Point card stock with my sewing machine.  Must be for someone special since I had to practically dig out my machine 🙂

Tomorrow is the day that the Occasions Catalog goes live and Sale a ration starts!  Big day! Hugs, Fran
