And one more Scallop Tag Topper punch fancy fold!  This one uses 2 techniques on top of the fold – a fringed flower and a Chevron punch lattice.  The lattice piece is done by punching 2 pieces of cardstock 1 1/2 x 6 with the Chevron punch.  You will end up with 2 pieces of “arrows.”  Flip one over and tuck the points of the top one (now facing downwards) under the points of the bottom one (facing upwards)  Then you can slide them until you get the look you want.  The fringed flower uses the Fringe scissors.  Cut a 1 1/2 x 12″ piece of DSP and fold it in half long ways so that it is now 3/4 x 12.  Use the fringe scissors and cut the fringe down the long side.  I use a bamboo skewer to start rolling it and use hot glue to hold it together.  Once the glue has dried, start curling the fringe with your fingers until it looks like a flower.

Have you seen this fancy fold made with the Scallop Tag Topper punch?  Such a nice, flat fold that is easy to decorate.  I used Sweet Stems and Banner Greeting and the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper for this one.  The black ribbon started life as Crumb Cake taffeta!  I ran it over my Stazon pad until I was happy with the color and then let it dry.  For the flower, I stamped it twice and then cut it out and stacked the pieces.  Dazzling Details adds just a bit of sparkle to the center. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Sweet Stems, Banner Greetings
Cardstock – Sahara Sand, Sweet Sorbet DSP, Whisper White
Ink – Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, (Jet Black Stazon for ribbon)
Etc – taffeta ribbon, rhinestones, Scallop Tag Topper punch, Dazzling Details

I really like these two pieces of DSP together.  Hugs, Fran

So Very Grateful

This card is a side-ways extended Circle Card Thinlit using So Very Grateful from the current mini catalog.  I stamped the image in Stazon and colored it with Stampin Write Markers and added a few pearl to the centers of some of the flowers.  The scallop on the side uses the Tasteful Trim die.

To make the extended card I cut my cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11 and placed it under the die – pulling the end up and over so that it doesn’t get cut.  This leaves the top part of the die empty.  Then I folded the left side on the score lines and scored again at 5 1/2. 

I used a sentiment from Petite Pairs on the inside of the circle.

The extended size really gives you a lot of room for your message!  Hugs, Fran

I made several of these little notecards using Banner Blast and the matching punch – Saleabration items!  These notecards are no longer available, but there are lots of other notecards from which to choose in the catalog, so I thought I’d share this idea. 

On the inside I added a Pop It Ups by Karen Burniston – Lucy Label – and another banner.  Even though it’s a tiny card, the Lucy Label fits any size. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Banner Blast (SA, Teeny Tiny Wishes

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!

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.

I used the note cards (131527) as a base to create a set of cards featuring the See Ya Later SAB set.  They look like an ice cream shop using the In Color Pattern Pack!  The easiest way to stamp the images is to ink the stamp in the color – and use a Basic Black Stampin Write marker to go over the words.  You get a nice, crisp image this way. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – See Ya Later
Card stock – In Color Pattern Pack 2013-2015
Ink – In Colors
Etc – Basic Black Stampin Write Marker, Oval Framelits, Note Cards and Envelopes

That’s it!  Very easy and sweet.  Now I’m going to line the envelopes and finish this project.  Hugs, Fran
