This card is cased from one I got at convention during general swapping. The original was created by Diane Harman. I changed the colors and sentiment – but used the layout.
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Wildflower Meadow, Petite Pairs
Card stock – Whisper White, Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar
Ink – Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar
Etc – Wildflower Meadow embossing folder, Oval punch, scalloped oval punch, pearls
I really like this color combo – very soothing. Hugs, Fran
Coffee and love – a great combination. This card uses the SU exclusive Pop N Cuts base die and the Full Heart punch to express that feeling. The coffee bean embossing folder is from Sizzix and matches………
their Mug and Hearts insert designed by Karen Burniston. I used SU’s Early Espresso Coordinations card stock and went over it with my sanding block for a very distressed look. The “cafe” is another embossing folder that came bundled with the beans.
The hearts are a movers and shapers type of insert. I used the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series paper. The smoke is really a heart cut from Vellum card stock.
I really sanded the embossing here – and then went over the word with a Real Red Stampin Write Marker.
Supplies
Card stock – Early Espresso coordinations, Polka Dot parade DSP, Epic Day DSP, Real Red, Vellum card stock
Ink – Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Real Red
Etc – SU Pop N Cut base, Mug and Hearts insert and embossing folders, Real Red Stampin Write Marker, Full Heart punch, Large Pearl, Cute Clip
With a Starbucks gift card – this would be perfect! Hugs, Fran
My favorite catalog sample is on page 3 using Hello, Lovely – so I cased it 
I used a notecard to make the base. The notecards are so easy to use! Stamp the background in Crisp Cantaloupe (Dictionary background stamp) and then make a Polaroid frame out of Calypso Coral – using the Square Framelits to die cut the inside piece. I stamped the Hello, Lovely sentiment on Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and punched the butterfly from a piece of I Am Me Designer Series paper. Since I didn’t have any buttons that matched, I made a Crisp Cantaloupe rose using the Clay molds.
Stamp Sets – Hello, Lovely, Dictionary
Card stock – Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Crisp Cantaloupe
Ink – Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral
Etc – Clay rose, Hardware Clips Essentials, Square Framelits
We will make this one in stamp club this month! Hugs, Fran
Here’s a fun card made with the Afternoon Picnic Designer Series paper, Oh Hello stamp set and the Pop N Cuts base and Label insert. The Label insert is not currently available but should be back in stock soon. On the front I used a Paper Doily and a Clay rose. To color the rose I simply “smooshed” it into the Wisteria Wonder stamp pad and then went over it with a Stampin Write marker.
The inside has a little banner.
And it’s hung on some So Saffron Baker’s Twine. The sentiment is from Six Sided Sampler. I used the Top Note die to make the Wisteria Wonder accent at the top and bottom.
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Oh Hello, Six-Sided Sampler
card stock – Afternoon Picnic, Pear Pizzazz, Wisteria Wonder, Very Vanilla
Ink – Smokey Slate, Crushed Curry, Wisteria Wonder
Etc – Itty Bitty Shapes punch, pearls, SU Pop N Cuts base and Label insert, Deco Label Framelits, Top Note die, Circle Framelits, Sizzix Flagpole with Lantern, Paper Doily, Clay rose, So Saffron Baker’s Twine
I just love this Designer Series paper! Hugs, Fran
Here’s a take on another Karen Burniston Pop N Cuts class card. I used the exclusive Stampin Up Pop N Cuts base die to create the card. The Designer Series paper is Etcetera – a nice vintage paper. The front is a Label Framelit cut with the Cordinations Early Espresso paper, sanded, and a piece of Calypso Coral Chevron ribbon. The mug is from the insert (coming up) and the heart is from the Hearts Framelits. I covered it in Crystal Effects – and I mean covered it! I wasn’t paying attention and got a ton of it on there!
This is the Mug & Heart insert – so cute! After I die cut the inside, I cut the mug out again in Soft Suede and ran it through my Big Shot using the Modern Mosaic embossing folder.
Then I went over the design with Crystal Effects and added an image from Notable Notions to the front.
The sentiment is from Lots of Thanks – and that’s Epic Day Washi tape on the sides.

Ink – Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Night of Navy
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base die, Sizzix Mug & Hearts insert, Crystal Effects, Circle punches, Epic Day Washi tape, Label Framlit and Heart Framelit, Modern Mosaic embossing folder
Other than needing some time to dry because of my heavy hand with the Crystal Effects – this card was easy and fun to make! Hugs, Fran
This is a re-do of one of the cards we made at the Pop N Cuts class I took. I used the new set Zoo Babies to make this one. (It’s the robot card in this post)
All the animals are out to greet you when you open the card.
The monkeys are hanging on the fishing line – didn’t turn out exactly as I had in mind, but it works. The elephant’s ear is popped up with Dimensionals.
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Zoo Babies, Sassy Salutaions
card stock – So Saffron, Whisper White, I Am Me Designer Series paper, Real Red
Ink – Wild Wasabi, Jet Black Stazon, Real Red, smoky Slate, Chocolate Chip
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base, Sizzix, Funky Label insert and Framelits, Sizzix Flagpole, Movers and Shapers star, fishing line, Pennant Punch, Crystal Effects, Bird Punch, Hexagon embossing folder, Real Red taffeta ribbon
It’s a beautiful morning here! The humidity has been so high that it’s hard to be outside. Today is sunny and cooler – time to play! Hugs, Fran
Another version of Six Sided Sampler – this one using the inside box design. I drew the box in pencil on the card stock and then did the stamping. Once everything was stamped, I drew over the line using a fine tip Sharpie marker.
Then I added a candy dot and popped up one of the hexagons with Dimensionals. You can see that my Wild Wasabi ink pad is still too wet! I had a very heavy hand reinking it and should probably just take it and press it onto paper a few times to soak up that extra ink. (The new pads do not need as much ink as the old.)
Supplies
Stamp Set – Six Sided Sampler
Card stock – Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink – Melon Mambo, Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi
Etc – Brights Candy Dot, Black Sharpie, Hexagon punch
I’m home from my travels (for a while) and have lots of organizing, laundry and cleaning to do today. Makes coming home not nearly as fun as leaving! Hugs, Fran
I case the idea for this from Shelli Gardner (!) but I changed several things. I kept the layout and the elements on the card and that’s about it.
Since I don’t have the background stamp she used, I chose Dictionary for my background. To make the lighter/darker areas on the background stamp, I inked it in Crumb Cake and then took a sponge dauber and added some Early Espresso. The center piece is the Framelit from Chalk Talk and the stamp set I used is Lacy & Lovely. I also switched out the sentiment and used Perfect Pairs. I love the card – and really love how changing just a few things makes it my own (kind of!)
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Beautifully Baroque, Petite Pairs, Lacy & Lovely, Dictionary
cardstock – Crumb Cake, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer, Vellum Card stock
Ink – Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Etc – Chalk Talk Framelit, Beautiful Butterfly die, Pansy punch, Baroque embossing folder, Vintage clear button, linen thread, Butterfly punch (small), Rhinestone
To make the big flower, I punch 3 or 4 pansy punches, misted them with water and wadded each punch up. After they dried, I stacked them together and used glue to hold them. Once it was dry I gathered the petals into the look I wanted and glued it to the card. (I might need to hand deliver this one!) Hugs, Fran
For this card I used Soft Sky and Soft Suede and the new set Flower Shop to create a sympathy card. The flowers in this set match up with the new Pansy punch.
The design on the punch/flower only goes one way, so you have to do a bit of “turning” at first to find the best fit. On the underneath I stamped the flowers directly to the cardstock in Pear Pizzazz. Then I stamped and punched out the Soft Sky flowers.
Stamp Sets – Flower Shop, Blessings from Heaven
cardstock – Whisper White, Soft Sky
Ink – Soft Sky, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede
Etc – Dazzling Details, Pansy punch, Mosaic embossing folder
I’m traveling and the internet is sporadic at best! Hugs, Fran
I was so excited to open this package of Designer Series paper! It’s called I Am Me and has some really nice color combinations. And the stamp set Around the World is the perfect match. I started with the exclusive Stampin Up Pop N Cuts base and added some great travel images to the front.
The gray camera has a pop up using the circle in the Itty Bitty Shapes pack and the yellow camera has a Neutral Candy dot.
The little flags on the side are part of the Sizzix Suitcase die stamped with just the ends of the arrows in the Around the World set.
When you open it – you get a suitcase pop up! This Sizzix Suitcase insert and matching die work perfectly in the Stampin Up Pop N Cuts base – and it works perfectly with the stamp set too!
This sentiment was made in My Digital Studio and recolored to match. (Sent with Love digital kit)
Isn’t the suitcase cute? I used some pearls that I’d already colored with a Sharpie marker for the strap and Candy dots on the corner pieces.
Then I added the “Away we go” stamp to the front.
The little “celebrate” is from Fabulous Phrases. Some Epic Day washi tape adds a pop of color.
