This set was one I really wanted – Pineapple! It’s large. The image is 5 1/4″ tall so it’s considered a background stamp. I did the coloring with sponges. I sponged Crushed Curry on the fruit and edged it with Delightful Dijon. On the leaves, I sponged Old Olive and then edged it in Garden Green. *I will reverse that on the next one!!
The sentiment is from Pop of Paradise. And the background paper is from the In Color paper pack. Hugs, Fran
You might have seen this card – everywhere! It uses the new set Marque Messages! This design was shown OnStage and is so cute and easy. I did mine on a notecard.
The best thing about this design is that all 3 cards are made from just 3 pieces of scrap card stock. You simply stamp the design 3 times, cut the different pieces out and reassemble in 3 different color combos. It’s like a puzzle.
I used Rose Red, Old Olive and Peekaboo Peach. This is going to be a fun one! Hugs, Fran
Something new! Pop of Paradise stamp set and the Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series paper. Stampin Up show this basic design on a gift bag. I turned it into a card with very little fuss. The leaves are embossed in gold – which is hard to photograph! This cute, flamingo set will be in the new catalog starting June 1 🙂 Hugs, Fran
It’s the camera again! This time I drew search light beams and colored them with Copics. Again, I stamped the camera 3 times and fussy cut the different pieces and coated them with Crystal Effects.
The dimension is so much fun!
And so is bling! Rhinestones add a sparkly touch to the front. And remember – you can only get this set by hosting a party 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Pun Intended Day 2! Yesterday I showed you all the cute images in the set and today I’m showing you my favorite (current favorite) – the camera. I paired it with the current Everyday Chic Designer Series paper.
I stamped the camera 3 times and cut out different layers to add dimension to the card. The lens, flash bulb and view finder are all coated with Crystal Effects.
I did some shading around the lens with a Smoky Slate marker and repeated the front design on the inside. Keep in mind that you can only get this new hostess set by hosting a party 🙂 Hugs, Fran
I’ve been playing around with a new hostess set in the new catalog called Pun Intended. These are the images in the set – a light bulb, bumble and camera – and lots of fun sentiments! These are little enclosure cards – tiny, 1/2 notecards. They are a nice way to start playing! Just stamp! Notice some new In Colors? Lots of fun for the next few days! The only way you get your hands on this set is host a party 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Here’s my Holiday catalog case of Embellished Ornaments. I used Mossy Meadow and Red Foil to make the ornaments – and the new Precision Base Plate. Wow! It’s amazing! Just a forward and back pass through my Big Shot and all those tiny pieces in the ornament die cut clean. The bottom piece on the card is the new Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum. Hint – it’s thin. Be careful to only have one sheet in your hand when you cut it!
Crafting today will be at a minimum so I can clean out the garage for our upcoming Rubber Stamp Garage Sale! Once a year my garage gets a good cleaning 🙂 Hugs, Fran
And a few rhinestones 🙂 Today I did a card using only the new In Colors and the stamp set, Work of Art and Perfect Pennants. Love when a card comes together so quickly! You’re going to love these new In Colors! Hugs, Fran
Cuteness case from Carrie Cudney! (Say that three times fast!) These notecard sized cards not only show off the beautiful new In Colors, but also a wonderful new stamp set called You’ve Got This. This is going to be a favorite of mine – simple and pretty. Little bits of In Color ribbon and some Baker’s Twine finish off the cards and don’t forget the matching envelopes made with the new Envelope paper! Sweet! Hugs, Fran
Weekly Deals!
Wow – the photo is kind of off kilter! (Oh well – not my favorite card of the bunch) This is a notecard with the new Bohemian Designer Series paper and Sprinkle of Life stamp set. I wanted to use the branch and bird so I cased another of Sara Gardner’s cards. I used different paper and it really changes the feel of the card. Maybe if we all tilt our heads to the left it will work better 🙂 Hugs, Fran
