My Birthday to my sister!  Actually, it’s not for a few days, but I saw her this week and was able to give her this card.  I used the Pop N Cuts Dress form die – ’cause I love it – and made her a garden scene.  The banner is held up on strips of card stock that I inserted through slits on shelf.  If you look closely at the watering can you will see water spraying from it.  That’s fishing line coated in glue and covered with Dazzling Diamonds.  The pearls on the dress are Basic pearls colored with a Sharpie – and the collar on the dress is a scallop punch.

Looking Spec-tacular

I love this single stamp – Spec-tacular (
132673 ) and had fun making this gift bag.  First I removed the handles from the bag with a hobby blade and then stamped the image all over the front.  I did use a Stamp a Ma Jig even though it’s a clear mount stamp – I’m just type A that way!  For the glasses, I drew them on Basic Black card stock and then spritz the daylights out of them using a mixture of shimmer paint and 70% rubbing alcohol.  I did put acetate in the lens – and, of course, rhinestones!

To make the tag, I printed out the sentiment (!) in My Digital Studio on Crumb Cake card stock and then made a tag shape and spritzed it with the spritzer tool and an Early Espresso Stampin Write Marker.  To keep the tag in place (so it doesn’t cover up my glasses) I added a jewelry tag punch to the back.  Let me show you –

Now the little tag holds the big tag in place!  I used a glue gun and a strip of Crumb Cake to add the handle back onto the bag. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Spec-tacular (Single)
card stock – Crumb Cake, Basic Black, acetate
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Stampin Write Marker – Early Espresso
Etc -shimmer spray, MDS2, rhinestones, jewelry tag punch, spritzer tool and spritzer bottle

It would be cute with the glasses on the tag instead of the bag too.  Hhhhhmmm….might have to try that!  Hugs, Fran

We are at Leadership in Orlando!  Last night we went to a shoebox swap – where everyone brings the cards and all the parts and we stamp them.  I brought the card on the bottom – inspired by the card on the top.  In order to keep things simple (like carrying ink and cleaning supplies) I ended up using just one color (Pool Party) and stamping/stamping off to create some depth.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Bloomin Marvelous (SA
card stock- Whisper White, Pool Party, Jet Black Stazon
Ink – Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral
Etc- Small Butterfly punch, rhinestone

Off to Harry Potter World tonight – then more stampin’ fun tomorrow!  Hugs, Fran

Sparkly flowers – the largest one I used a sponge dauber and colored the entire flower with Riding Hood Red and then spritzing with shimmer spray.  The middle flower I added just a little bit of Riding Hood Red to the shimmer spray, sprayed it and then used what was left on my dauber to do the center.  The smallest flower is on its own! 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Field Flowers
card stock – Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla, Fan Fair, Pink Pirouette
Ink _ Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Always Artichoke, Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Paper flowers, large pearl, Scallop Trim border, Always Artichoke seam binding, Shimmer Spray

Make it shimmer!  Hugs, Fran
