Needed a few more tags to finish up this season’s wrapping.  I had this tag that I cased and it’s pretty and easy enough to make a stack of them quickly.  The Vanilla ornament is embossed with clear embossing powder – and at some point I switched to the Sugar and Spice embossing powder because it smells so good! 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Delightful Decorations
card stock – Kraft, Very Vanilla, Gumball Green
Ink – Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green, Versamark
Etc – Decoration punch, Bird punch, 3/4″ circle punch, Simply Scored, linen thread, mini brad, clear embossing powder

Hope your Christmas “doings” are coming together!  Hugs, Fran

Snowman and Rudolph Tealights

Becky Roberts did a great tutorial on how to make these – you can find it here.  I added Rudolph to my collection (and hangers to make them ornaments.)  The antlers on Rudolph are the retired Scribbles and Swirls die.  If you use this die, double it – it’s very delicate and needs some extra “umph.” 

I’ll share a sneak peek with you tomorrow from the upcoming Spring Mini.  I hate to rush it – but there is one project/product that has me swooning – so I think I’ll go ahead and share it   Hugs, Fran

It’s a Patio Party

My brother, sister and I had a surprise party for my dad’s 80th birthday.  I thought I’d share with you a few of the things I did to add to the celebration. 

First – invitations made with Make a Cake and the layout cased from Connie Babbert (thanks Connie!)  Here’s some of the decorations –

Patio Party flags for the cupcakes made in My Digital Studio (Patio Party
Collection DVD (p. 199)) and little cupcakes made from votive candles.

And big tissue paper pom-poms!  These were taken before the tables were set – but you get the idea.  And, of course, party favors – made with a combo of the My Digital Studio and the Fancy Favor Big Shot die –

These were perfect for a two piece box of bourbon balls, a rustic pencil and a little bottle of Maker’s Mark!  Great party!  Hugs, Fran

This is the (retired) Attic Boutique DSP with a Soft Sued background and block.  (And some cute pictures of my youngest!)

The top left square used the Pennant Punch, Blossom Party die and Beautiful Wings embosslit.  The sewing was done on the block. 

Down the center is the Lace Ribbon punch (retired) and some butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies die.  The heart at the top of the page pulls up for the journaling.

Apothecary Art and Family Reunion make up the title – die cut with the Labels Collection Framelit.  The rose is a circle that is cut in a spiral and wrapped like a rose.  The heart is 5 heart punches stacked together to create some depth.  Missing those heart trinkets!  Lots of fun!  Enjoy – Hugs, Fran

There was one packet for this card left after stamp club so I played with it.  I added a Real Red layer, some embossing and a different sentiment.  (Just had to play with the new Framelit die!)

card stock – Whisper White, Real Red, Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper
Ink – Real Red

I saw this quick and cute idea in a card magazine – using a punch negative to make the focal point – and knew the Blossom punch would work for this.  It’s backed with the wonderful Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper to make it pop.

Stamp Set – Petite Pairs
card stock – Whisper White, Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper
Ink – Real Red
Etc – Blossoms punch, Bright button, Baker’s Twine, corner rounder

Hint – adhere the DSP to the card front and pop up the punched layer using Dimensionals.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
