Party with Cake? Is there any other way to party? This is my take on a card on page 6 of the Occasions mini. The front uses the new Party with Cake set and the Lots of Labels Framelits.
And the inside uses the Party Pop Up Thinlits die. To easily attach the letters to the die, I just ran them through my Xyron and made them into sticker. The pop up only has one fold so it’s easy to make. Have I said “easy” enough? Hugs, Fran
Need a quick Valentine treat? Use the Bear Hugs, stamp set found on page 40 in the Occasions Mini catalog. Stamp the big bear in Chocolate Chip ink on Crumb Cake card stock. Die cut the bear, flip him over and stamp him again. Stamp the heart in Real Red ink on Real Red card stock and die cut. Fill a skinny cello bag with treats, swipe a bit of adhesive across the bear’s chest and stick the cello bag down.
Gently curl the bear’s arms around the bag and use glue dots to attach the heart between his paws. Hand them out and watch people smile ! Hugs, Fran
Another catalog case using the new Party Pop Up dies. These easy to use dies make your cards hold a fun surprise. I used the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack. It has 48 sheets of cute designs! That’s a lot of paper 🙂
Inside is the other die – popping out to celebrate. That’s a fun card! Hugs, Fran
Seriously – easy! This is a notecard using Balloon Celebration and it’s simply stamped in Blushing Bride with a Soft Suede sentiment. Some of the balloons are stamped full strength, some are stamped off first. It gives such a soft, pretty look. Hugs, Fran
This is my take on the Beautiful Ride card shown on page 15 in the Occasions Catalog. I used Pacific Point and Pool Party. (I believe the sample is Bermuda Bay and Pool Party – but hey!) I stamped the car in Pacific Point on Pool Party yardstick and added some color using a blender pen. The suitcases were colored with Stampin Write Markers, fussy cut and adhered to the top of the card. Hugs, Fran
This is one of my favorite sets in the Occasions Mini catalog – Suite Sayings. It’s all sentiments and greetings and they are really nice AND pretty fonts. For this catalog case, I stamped the sentiment and die cut it using Lots of Labels Framelits. I die cut 2 leaves using the Botanicals Builder Framelits dies and stamped them with the matching Botanical Blooms stamp set. The color in the center of the tag is done with a sponge dauber, Hello Honey and Cajun Craze ink. Hugs, Fran
Isn’t this a great sentiment? This is Love You Sew, a hostess set from the Occasions Mini. I paired it with Number of Years and the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series paper to make this card. I could give out lots of this card – even give one to myself! Hugs, Fran
Since I’ve turned 29 every year for quite a few years – this card is perfect! Baker Beaver and the Cake Pop Stand are a new dies for the Karen Burniston Pop It Ups dies. Isn’t he cute? Don’t you love the spatula? That’s from the new Props 8. It’s a full set of baking props. For the cake, I used just the largest cake layering piece and cut it down by 1/8″ for each layer. I’ve paired him with Stampin Up’s new Number of Years stamp set. The sentiment “Look who’s turning” fits exactly on Karen’s new Pull Card Edges. Baker and his cake are on an action wobble. The paper is the very fun It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack from the Occasions Mini and the balloons are the new Balloon Bouquet Punch.
Here’s the inside –
Now we can celebrate 29 every year! Hugs, Fran
These Petite Cafe Bags make cute packaging for just about any occasion. I cased the project in the Occasions Mini using Suite Sayings and the Botanical Builder Framelits Die. Quick, easy and cute – my kind of project! Hugs, Fran
Aren’t they fun? The Honeycomb Embellishments (page 9 Occasions Mini) gives such a nice touch to every project. They don’t flatten – so you might want to skip mailing them – but they are just fun!
I used them for tags on some Gift Bag Punch Board bags. To use the Honeycomb Embellishments, peel off half the backing, attach to your project, and then remove the other half. Hugs, Fran
