Number of Years 03

This card is made with the Large Number Framelits dies and a new Saleabration set coming out of the 15th of this month – Party Pants.  The 1,3 and 5 are die cut and colored underneath and the 2 and 4 are popped up.

Then I added lots of Candy Dots!  Inspired by one I saw online (I think it was Mama Elephant) that used little numbers, I knew I could make this with the Large Numbers (just fewer numbers.)  I think this would make a cute kiddos card or switch up the numbers, have it say 29 – and send it to me 🙂  Hugs, Fran

PIU Fancy Label 01

Lucky the Rabbit is getting ready for Easter!  This month’s challenge is glitter and this card is covered with it!  It’s a Fancy Label Accordion – and a lot more.  Behind Lucky are some clouds stenciled with Karen Burniston’s Partly Cloudy stencil.  Lucky is painting an egg from the Easter Egg die all done with Silk Microfine Glitter.  His paintbrush is the spatula from Props 8.  I cut down the handle and dipped it glue and several colors of glitter.  The paint drops and splatters are from the Cake Pop Up (candle flames and strawberry tops.)

The edges are from the Star Fancy Edges and glittered too.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s new Greatest Greetings.  To make the paint bucket, I used Lucky’s basket cut in Silver foil with drops of glue and glitter.  Make sure to check out the other cards on Karen’s Blog!  Hugs, Fran

Party with Cake 01

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

Quick Valentine Treats

Bear Hugs 01

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.

Bear Hugs, 01 detail

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

Party Pop Up 01

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

Beautiful Ride 01

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

Suite Sayings 01

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

Love You Sew 01

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
