This card showcases the new set Hearts a Flutter – and the matching Framelits!  I just love it when there’s a matching anything with a set   I cut the new Pool Party Core’dinations card stock to 8 1/2 x 5, folded it in half to create a 4 1/4 x 5″ card.  The banner on the right is able to hang off the edge and still fit into an envelope.

Okay, that’s not too sneaky!  That’s Bootiful Occasions.  But when you open it –

you see something fun!  I LOVE cards that pop and you will love the new Pop N Cuts Dress form dies in the Spring Mini!  I didn’t even unpack my box of “goodies” – I just grabbed these dies and started making a Mrs. Claus scene.  I did add a few popping bases for the presents on the floor and the package and hat on the mantle – but this die is so easy. We are going to have a fun spring

Here’s another idea for a quick gift bag.  This uses a small paper bag (mine is 3 1/2 x 6 3/4) and your Holiday Framelits.  You will need to open the side of the bag out to die cut it or you will get little “vents” in the side.  (Seriously, you will!) 

After you have die cut your image, fold the bag back to normal and run through your Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder.  Cover the openings with window sheets and decorate.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Come to Bethlehem
card stock – Neutral Pack, Very Vanilla, Champagne Glimmer paper
Ink – Versamark
Etc – Holiday Framelits, Lacy Brocade embossing folder, Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon, gold cord, window sheets, Modern Label punch, Large Delicate Doilies die, gold embossing powder, star punch

Hugs, Fran
