This must be my favorite suite of products in the mini catalog – Happy Watercolor and Designer Series paper that matches.  Here I used Karen Burniston’s Katie Label Pivot Pop It Up to make a card using the Watercolor Wonder DSP to show off the sentiment. 

The paper has such pretty designs!  A pivot card is a nice way to show them off.  And I love polka dots so the Distressed Dots embossing folder was perfect here. (and it’s a Saleabration item!)

I even used it on the Pansy Punch!

This DSP is so pretty.  It might be my favorite piece in the package!  Hugs, Fran

Here’s something fun!  Karen Burniston did a video to make her Katie Label Pivot die twice as big and it’s a great way to show off beautiful DSP and fun stamps.  I used the Eastern Elegance Designer Series paper and the SAB set You’re Lovely to make this 5 x 7 card. 

Here it is open and it’s amazingly pretty sturdy!  (Though the photograph is kind of wonky) 

I added some Dazzling Detail to the flowers for just a touch of sparkle.

Supplies
Stamp Set – You’re Lovely
Card Stock – Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Eastern Elegance
Ink – Basic Gray
Stampin Write Markers – Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz
Etc – Pop It Up Katie Label die, Agatha Edges Framelit, Deco Label Framelit, Regal buttons, Epic Day Washi Tape, Baker’s twine

I hope you’ll try it and share what you make!  Hugs, Fran

This is the Pop It Up Hearts Pivot die paired with Follow My heart.  I had some left over pieces from this card and just couldn’t resist making a pivot card for someone special.  Doesn’t the Red Glimmer paper look lovely?  And the keyhole is the Silver Foil paper. 

Here it is open – with a Silver Foil key hanging from some Baker’s Twine. 

The Red Glimmer frame was done by cutting with two Framelits at the same time.  It makes such a nice, tiny frame!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Follow My Heart, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Hardwood
Card stock – Pink Pirouette, Red Glimmer, Basic Gray Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Subtles Paper pack
Ink – Basic Gray
Stampin Write Markers – Real Red, Basic Gray
Etc – Heart Pivot, Word Window punch, Baker’s Twine

I hope you’re enjoying the Pivot cards!  Hugs, Fran

Oh my bleeding heart!  I saw this idea on Pinterest – but I did the “foundation” of it in a very different way and got a VERY different look.  The one I saw used watercolors on smooth paper.  I used reinker on watercolor paper.  My card turned out much darker (much, much darker!)  I punched the hearts out of watercolor paper and glued them down.  After dried I used reinkers in the the lids of the stamp pads and an aquapainter to start the ink flowing.  The sequins are colored with Copic markers – which worked very well.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfect Pennants
Card stock – Pink Pirouette, Basic Black, watercolor paper
Ink – Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Melon Mambo
Etc – Aquapainter, sequins, makers, Envelope Punch board (to round the corners), Heart Framelits, Large Pearl

Try it and let me know how it works for you!  Hugs, Fran

Are you working on Valentines?  Here’s one for you – Love you to the Moon.  And I pretty much cased my own card from here to do this one   I used Gorgeous Grunge in Real Red, Smokey Slate and Basic Black for the background and added some washi tape.  The moon spots are touched with Crystal Effects. 

The inside has more washi tape (non-SU gift from my daughter) and the sentiment from Delightful Dozen. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Love You to the Moon, Gorgeous Grunge, Delightful Dozen
Card stock – Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink – Real Red, Smokey Slate, Basic Black
Etc – Clip essentials, washi tape, Banner Framelit, Neutral Candy Dots

It’s fast and easy!  Hugs, Fran

I saw something similar to this on Pinterest and decided to use the layout to make it with SU supplies.  What I liked about it was using a “grain” background with 3-d items – so I inked up Hardwood from the mini.  This is a great background stamp – truly a “must have!”  The largest heart is something on my workspace from another project and the scallop bottom has a layer of Fancy Foil vellum over it. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Follow My Heart, Hardwood
Card Stock – Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Smokey Slate, Subtle Paper Pack, Basic Gray, Red Glimmer
Ink – Basic Gray
Stampin Write Markers – Basic Gray, Real Red
Etc – Spiral Rose die, Tasteful Trim die, Basic Rhinestones, Baker’s Twine, Heart Framelits, Epic Day Washi tape

The depth of the rose will make this a “hand it to them” kind of card.  It could be mailed in a padded envelope – but this one’s staying local!   Hugs, Fran

Here’s a few more Geometrical cards.  This one has a Hardware Clip Essential (129964) on the top so I cut the height of the card down 1/4″.  The colors are Real Red and Pool Party.

This is a case from the mini – but I didn’t have any metal buttons so I substituted a piece of Glimmer Paper.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Geometrical
Card Stock – Whisper White,
Ink – Real Red, Pool Party (Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry)
Etc – Hardware Clip, Washi Tape, Banner Framelit

This set makes easy and fun cards – great to have around!  Hugs, Fran

When I first get a new catalog I like to case my favorite cards – just to get the ideas flowing.  These cards are on page 10 of the Spring/Occasions/whatever it is called mini catalog.  They use the Geometrical stamp set.  I really like the top card – and the bottom turned out just okay. 

But it was fun to start playing with the Hexagon Hive Thinlit!  (tip – place a piece of waxed paper between the paper and the die for easy release!) 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Geometrical, Gorgeous Grunge
Card stock – Whisper White
Inks – Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush, Smokey Slate, Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Hexagon Hive Thinlit, sequins, washi tape, black cord, sewing machine
