Sale a bration is coming to an end! It’s been a lot of fun and had so many great choices! If you’ve waited until the very last moment to make your choices – here are some more cards to inspire you.
Thought I’d best get these up before it was too late! Hugs, Fran
Double your fun with this Berry Basket 🙂 I made this one out of Coaster Board and it is sturdy, sturdy, sturdy! To do this, I cut the Berry Basket Die 4 times and assembled them 3/4 of the way – meaning on one piece for each basket I cut off one flap. Cut a piece of Coaster Board 3 x 6 and layer the 3/4 baskets on top of it. Line the inside with some of the Best Year Ever DSP and make a long edge to go around the basket. The handle is a 1/2 x 12 piece of Coaster Board. Decorate and fill with lots of Easter candy – it can handle it! Hugs, Fran
I seem to be focusing on laughter this week 🙂 This is the Sweet Laughter set in the Spring Mini. This clean and simple card is a 4 1/4 x 11 Whisper White base with a 3 1/2 x 3 center piece stamped with the image and colored with Copic markers. I added some Sweet Sadie washi tape and a Subtle button – done! Clean and simple – and sweet! Hugs, Fran
Second day of the Make ‘Em Laugh Challenge for the Karen Burniston Design Team. This card might just “squeeze by” as funny. The card is 6 x 6 and uses the Beach Edges and Palm Tree and Pail dies along with some of the words from the Photopolymer stamp set Countless Sayings #2.
The inside finds Rocky taking a bath in the Bathtub Pop Stand die under the palm trees! The sentiment is from So You.
The tub and bubbles are made from white Shimmer Sheets. Pop over to Karen’s Facebook page to see the rest of the cards for this challenge!
This is a Pop It Ups Rectangular Accordion card using some Elizabeth Craft Design Flower Quartet peel off stickers, Silk microfine glitter and Copics to color it. The Designer Series paper is from the SU Spring Mini – Painted Blooms – and it’s all tied off with some Hello Honey ribbon. The paper is so gorgeous it’s hard to decide which piece to use!
I used the sentiment in Love & Sympathy for the inside. It’s stamped in Wild Wasabi. Els has a great video on YouTube on how to use the stickers with glitter and Copics. They really make a card sparkle! Hugs, Fran
It’s been snowing here – really, really snowing. 17 inches of snow! So I’ve been coloring 🙂 This is Saturated Canary’s Ellie’s Birthday on a Pop It Ups Rectangular Pull Card using Remembering Your Birthday as the sentiment on Best Year Ever Designer Series paper – colored with Copic markers! Did I mention we had a big snow?
When you open it up, balloons from Pop It Ups Props 2 and packages from the Evergreen Pivot card decorate the inside.
And the sentiment says it all! I’ve pulled everything I own out while doing this card! (Did I mention it snowed?) Hugs, Fran
This is the framed art piece we did last week. It uses Sheltering Tree showing all the seasons. (Sorry about the glare!) We had fun with all the little pieces – but decided it needs a snowman, especially around here right now! Hugs, Fran
This Pop It Ups Oval Accordion card uses Saturated Canary’s Secrets digital stamp. I sized it to fit my card and then cut the image apart so I could use part on the front and part on the back. I used the Lattice die on the front – first in Pink Pirouette (which was too dark) and then in Whisper White – leaving just a bit of the underneath showing.
The sentiment in the middle is one of my absolute favorites from the Spring Catalog called Build a Bouquet. I’m using it all over the place! I replace the drawn line on the image with Baker’s Twine and added some hearts. The flower paper is unknown – very old from my stash, and the pink is from the Subtles Paper Pack. I colored the images with my Copic Markers.
This is a new die in the Mini Catalog called Berry Basket. It’s a Bigz die and makes a lovely basket that is a nice size for all kinds of things. To do this basket I adhered a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of Whisper White and Best Year Ever Designer Series paper together and run it through the Big Shot Whisper White side down. You need to do this twice so you have 2 pieces. Assembly is simple and the basket is very sturdy when assembled. I added half a Doily, a Coastal Cabana butterfly from the Butterfly Framelits and a Calypso Coral stamped from the Butterfly Basics set and die cut. The center is a Calypso Coral pom-pom. I assembled my basket using the hand-held stapler.
Still snowed in with more snow coming tomorrow. Going. Stir. Crazy. Hugs, Fran
Doesn’t this say it all? This stamp is from Hello, Life and it’s large! (The card is 6 x 6) I adhered it to some Flower Pot Designer Series paper with an old flower die cut. The small flowers stamped around the sentiment are from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set. It has some wonderful background style stamps in it! So what makes me happy?
A bathtub full of flowers! The stand up part is from Karen Burniston’s Bathtub Pop Stand die, die cut from some white Shimmer Sheet. The flowers filling the tub are from my stash and the leaves are the Build a Bird punch. The tub faucet is cut from SU Silver Foil paper. Since it needed to be mirrored, and the paper is white on the back, I used a silver leaf pen to color the back of the paper.
I used a retired embossing folder on the tub and it’s so pretty in real life! My tub runneth over! 🙂 Hugs, Fran
