For this card I made a belly band and stamped the front with Feels Good from the Spring Mini,  There was another sentiment that would work for this card – “She believed she could..so she did.”  Because when you open it you see this –

It’s Cinderella in all her glory!

The magic “swirl” around her dress is – you guessed it – fishing line covered in Dazzling Details and little tiny glitter stars.

The birds and banner are from Decorate a Daisy (purchased just for this card!) and the “Just for You” sentiment was done in My Digital Studio 2.

I drew the slippers on vellum card stock and covered them with Dazzling Details.  Glass slippers are very difficult to papercraft!

The mirror really only shows from the side – but the girl has to take a look at her new gown!

I am cleaning out computer files this week – and came across another card I want to show you.  The layout was cased from a card on Sudsol – but their gallery is down at the moment and I’ll have to come back to give credit.  The butterflies are stamped on card stock vellum – a beautiful paper to use!  I stamped them on the Whisper White first and then on the vellum and layered them.  And there’s a punch!  Just makes life so much easier!  Paper piercing and Dazzling Details finish off the card.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Papillon Potpourri, Itty Bitty Banners
card stock – Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Floral District DSP, card stock vellum
Ink – Baja Breeze
Etc – Apothecary Accents  Framelits, Paper Piercing Essential pack, Butterfly punch, Dazzling Details, Itty Bitty Banners Framelits

On Sunday we had a team meeting and did a shoebox swap.  This is where everyone brings all the supplies ready for us to make their card.  It’s fun!  My friend, Anne, designed this card for the swap.  She’s a beach lover (and I thought of her as soon as I saw this set in the catalog!) 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – By the Tide, Tiny Tags
card stock – Pool Party, Island Indigo, Whisper White
Ink – Calypso Coral, Island Indigo
Etc – Fan embossing folder, Pool Party button, Tangerine Tango ribbon, Small curly punch

Isn’t it cute?  She’s let me borrow her set this week so hopefully I’ll get to play a bit.  Hugs, Fran

Pop N Up to Garden

I wanted to try making an invisible shelf for my Dress Form Pop N Cuts using a window sheet.  It’s a really cool look – or not look as the case may be!  Once I die cut the insert, I trimmed it down, leaving just enough to make the Pop Up work. 

Her overalls were made by cutting the scallop off the bottom of the dress and snipping a small triangle in the center bottom.  You can only snip a small amount or you’ll have the form showing.  Then I added some stitching with my Stampin Write Marker, and few squares for pockets – and teeny tiny piece of Delicate Lace Tape in the pocket.  The straps on the overalls are drawn and mini brads were used to look like snaps. The tree is a very old Sizzix die.  The shovel is an oval punch. 

The basket is from A Little Bit of Spring in the Spring Mini catalog.

My Pop N Cuts are hitting the town tonight!  Maybe it’s a black-tie charity event, a special anniversary or even prom – but it’s somewhere fancy! 

Both dress forms fit across the shelf for the single dress form (did that make sense?)  I just left the middle leg on there so provide support.  It’s covered by the handsome couple.  You can find Mr. Pop N Cuts tuxedo here. Karen Burniston – who created this die – created this tuxedo pattern just for the dress form.

Stamp Set – That’s the Ticket
card stock – Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White, Neutral Patterns, Silver Glimmer paper
Stampin Write Markers – Basic Black, Real Red

I love the little Hearts a Flutter note card on page 12 of the Spring Mini – but wanted a full sized card.  So I took the basic idea, added a few layers (who doesn’t love layers!) and came up with this card.  The More Amore Designer Series paper has great patterns that can be stamped on – and these Builder Brads are so much fun to play with! 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Oh Hello
card stock – Primrose Petals, Real Red, Pool Party, More Amore DSP
Ink – Basic Gray
Etc – Builder Brads, Bitty Butterfly punch, Hearts a Flutter Framelits

Very Happy Heart

Need more Valentine ideas?  This cello topper started as a 3 x 3 piece of Pretty in Pink.  Score it at 1 1/2 and use the heart  design in the Adorning Accents Folders pack to emboss some hearts.  Then add a heart (Happy Heart – single) and add some glimmer paper.  But the cutest part is the little  pieces on the ends of the kisses.  Barb Mulikin came up with this idea to make little “conversation circles” in My Digital Studio and put them on kisses – cute idea! 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Happy Heart (Single stamp Holiday 2012)
card stock – Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer paper
Ink – Real Red
 Etc – Full heart punch, Owl punch, Adorning Accent Folder, cello bag

A little treat for someone sweet!  Hugs, Fran
