Love You More and Sweet Sorbet DSP to make a soft, pretty Valentine.  On the front, I stamped the sentiment and colored it with a Pool Party Marker (which is hard to see!)  Then I die cut it with the Hearts Framelit.

Add a Cute Clip and some Candy Dots.

On the inside I used Karen Burniston’s new Lucy Label Pop It Up die.  You can make any size card with this die! 

On the flagpole I attached banners from Banner Blast – a new set for Sale a bration  – and some banners cut with the Banner Framelits.  The little bird has several popped out details (and a Candy Dot!) 

The wing is one layer popped out and the tail is three.  I adhered the point of the tail down and popped out the top.  (Hope that makes sense!)

I love how the Lucy Label give me several areas to pop!  On the “Love” I used a Calypso Coral Stampin Write Marker to make the “you” stand out.

On the bottom I die cut a heart frame using the Heart Framelits to create an area to write in.

One of the fun things about My Digital Studio 2 (MDS2) is that most of the images are in SVG format.  This means that another way of using them is with an ecutter.  (I use a Sizzix Eclips) And resizing them is a snap!   I used a balloon image from Up, Up and Away to create this card.  I cut it out of the new Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper that will be FREE during Sale abration – grab a bunch of it! 

The sentiment is from Banner Greetings.  This is a hostess set – so hold a party during SAB and you’ll own 2/3 of this card

Supplies
Stamp Set – Banner Greetings
Card stock – Crisp Cantaloupe, Basic Black, Summer Starfruit, Pool Party, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet
Ink – Crisp Cantaloupe
Etc – ecutter (I use the Sizzix Eclips) Pansy punch, 1 1/4 circle punch, banner punch, 1/2 circle punch, Summer Starfruit Stampin Write Marker

Aren’t you looking forward to SAB?  I think the Sweet Sorbet DSP is just beautiful!  Hugs, Fran

Love this new Designer Series paper from the Occasions Mini – High Tide – and the stamp set Hello Sailor that goes with it!
I used my SU exclusive Pop Up base to make this card!

The image is die cut using the Deco Label Framelits – and the little banner is really the new banner punch (coming for SAB!)

She’s a sailor girl looking for her man   I used my Pop Up Dress insert and followed the color scheme in the DSP.  So yes, it really is Calypso Coral instead of Red!

To make the dress, I die cut it in Pacific Point, Whisper White, Calypso Coral and Pacific Point DSP and just layered the pieces so that they would show on the bottom.  I did hand cut the collar – but once you have the white piece the way you want it, just adhere the next color and trim away.  I used the Word Bubble Framelits to make the talk bubble.  The hat is hand cut front with a circle behind it.

The sentiment on the bottom is from Best of Love – it’s a good one to have!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Hello, Sailor, Best of Love
Card Stock – Pacific Point, Whisper White, Calypso Coral, High Tide DSP
Ink – Pacific Point
Etc – Pop N Cuts Base and Dress Form insert, Deco Label and Word Bubble Framelits, gold brads, banner punch, Baker’s Twine

Got my baby off to England, finally!  That made for an eventful week – glad it’s the weekend!  Hope you have a wonderful day!  Hugs, Fran

A Summer Starfruit thank you!  The stamp that looks like a brushstroke is going to be so popular in this set.  I used Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Summer Starfruit to create the color behind the Jet Black Stazon flower.  The DSP is a tiny piece from one coming up for Sale a bration (you’re going to love it!)  The Basic Black matting really gives these colors a bold look – and I’ll have to remake it with some other colors so you can see the difference, 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Happy Watercolor
Card stock – Basic Black, Summer Starfruit, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet DSP
Ink – Crisp Cantaloupe, Summer Starfruit, Pistachio Pudding, Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Summer Starfruit ribbon

Enjoy your day – stamp something!  Hugs, Fran

Love You to the Moon is a set in the Occasions Mini and it has lots of really cute Valentine/Love You images and sayings.  I cased this layout from someone – and I have to admit that I can’t find the original person!  On her card, she had circles instead of hearts and a different color scheme- do you recognize it?   I also added the little banner punch and arrow clip to the side.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Love You to the Moon
card stock – Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush, In Colors DSP, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer
Stampin Write Markers – Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe
Etc – Chalk Talk Framelits, Cute Clips, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (Sale a bration!) Full Heart punch

Today I am going to tackle taking down the Christmas tree – wish me luck.  So much fun putting it up – such a mess taking it down!  Hugs, Fran

I had one card left from club and thought I’d change it up a bit by changing the sentiment.  Of course, with a band aid on the front, I couldn’t change it up too much!  The original sentiment is from the Patterned Occasions Sale a bration set.  I used a sentiment from Word Play  to change it up – look at the difference!

Do you have a preference?  Hugs, Fran

Less than a week to go to get Sale a bration goodies!  This Feeling Sentimental card also uses Lacy & Lovely for the sentiment.

Based on a display board, this is a 3 x 6 card in Sahara Sand and Basic Black.

This is one that Shelli showed using the Delicate Doily tape as a stencil. 

A take on another display board sample.  Love the antique feel to this one!  It’s a great set!  Hugs, Fran

This card is a variation of one I’ve done before – just a different sentiment.  This sentiment is from Paper Pumpkin – did you sign up for the first kit?  I had a few of these cards in various states of “together – ness” – so I switched out the sentiment to give it a different look. 

This is one of the cards I did with a group of middle schoolers.  At least, this is what I designed.  What they created were flower gardens!  I so wish I had taken a picture – but it was moving fast around there   The centers on my card were done with a Rose Red Stampin Write marker after inking up with Pretty in Pink.  (and that funny looking thing next to the sentiment is a rhinestone – really, it is!)  It is amazing what happens with paper and ink sometimes!

Hugs, Fran
