Riley the Moose is cookin’! My youngest is a chef and I thought this would be a cute card for her. The star is Riley the Moose and Karen Burniston’s Square Spinner die.
So you can tell Riley has really been cooking up a storm! The hamburger and hotdog are punch art and the bottle is from Stampin’ Up’s Bubble Over. They slide out as the card is opened.
I think she’ll enjoy this! Hugs, Fran
I was sorting through some old punches and thought I’d try this card. It’s a 3 x 8 card and you can make an envelope for it using the Envelope Punch Board. The colors from left to right are Rich Razzleberry, Wisteria Wonder, Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise, Cucumber Crush, Pear Pizazz , Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, and Real Red. I drew a straight line across the card stock and lined them up. That’s it! Now to search through the rest of my punches and see which other ones will work with this style card! Try it! Hugs, Fran
Here we go with a trio of cards simply creaTed because I cut way too many butterflies. I watercolored a piece of watercolor paper with Peekaboo Peach, Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette and then die cut some butterflies using the Butterfly Thinlits. With the leftover piece I used the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches to punch the rest. This gave me a lot of butterflies!
Using Gorgeous Grunge and Suite Sentiments, I created 3 background pieces and placed all the butterflies around the sentiment.
That’s a little strip of Glimmer paper down the left side – hard to see in the photograph! So now there are 3 cards – similar but different. Hugs, Fran
Bunch of Blossoms is a set that has a matching punch! Love that! For this card I was inspired by the catalog – just decided to add to it.
The beautiful paper is the Irresistibly Floral Specialty paper and can be sponged over to show off the design. It’s also pretty on it’s own 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Badges and Banners is another new set that makes sweet cards! It matches the Best Badge punch and the banner matches the Duet Banner punch. The paper is the Serene Scenery Designer Series paper. Just a simple card – but sometimes that’s what you need. Hugs, Fran
Trick or Treat – but we all know we want treats! This is a Polka Dot Tag a Bag Gift Bag that has been scored to make it stand it. I add a tag from Merry Everything and some bats from Project Life Holiday Cheer to make it scary. Add a circle punch and hang the tag from a band on the top.
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Merry Everything, Project Life Holiday Cheer
Card stock – Whisper White
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Polka Dot Tag a Bag, 2″ circle punch, Note Tag Punch
Happy Halloween crafting! Hugs, Fran
It’s challenge time for Karen Burniston’s Design Challenge team and this month’s challenge is photos on Accordion dies! I chose pictures from a very trip to Universal Studios and kept my Oval Accordion neutral in Basic Gray and Smokey Slate so I could add lots of fun colors and accents.
To begin my album I embossed Smokey Slate with one of Karen’s new embossing folders, added my Basic Gray strip across the middle and then die cut all the Oval Accordion Album pages. On the front I added lots of stars, arrows and ribbons.
Can you see the lines of stars going from page to page? Those are little stars glued to fishing line!
I tied Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry ribbon in the folds and added bits of Bermuda Bay ribbon to that.
The talk bubble in this photo was actually in the picture – it just didn’t fit – so I fussy cut it and added it to the top. (One of those “I can make it fit” moments!) I backed all the accordions with Basic Gray.
Supplies
Card stock – Basic Gray, Smokey Slate, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Silver Glimmer paper
Etc – Oval Accordion die, Itty Bitty star punch, What’s Up punch, MS star border punch, fishing line, Crushed Curry ribbon, Melon Mambo ribbon, Bermuda Bay ribbon, circle punch
Lots of fun going on here!
Keep in mind that my blog is being moved and things might look a bit different until it’s finished! Hugs, Fran
