I Think You're Great 01

Sneak peek – I Think You’re Great!  This card shows off some of the new 2015-2017 In Colors and a new stamp set.  Carrie Cudney from SU’s home office made a sample that inspired me, though I changed it to use the new Cherry on Top Designer Series paper.  The colors from top to bottom are Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Watermelon Wonder.  This set is made for the “kissing” technique but my ink pads are way to juicy at the moment!  Once I use up some of the ink, I’ll try again.  But in the meantime, this will go out as a graduation card.

Don’t forget about the Weekly Deals for this week –

Sprinkles of Life 03

One more Sprinkles of Life – a cupcake!  This shows the Designer Series paper – Cherry on Top.  It’s a great 6 x 6 paper stack (Bermuda Bay, Cucumber Crush, Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White.)  The cupcake is on the smallest Deco Framelit and the banner underneath is made with the new Triple Banner punch!  Don’t you just love the colors in this DSP?  Happy Mothers Day to all the women out there making a difference in a child’s life.  Hugs, Fran

Sprinkles of Life 02

More Sprinkles of Life and it’s matching punch!  This time I used it as an ice cream cone on a notecard.  The front layer is a piece of the SAB paper, Irresistibly Yours.  I brayered over it with Blushing Bride and then punched a 2 inch circle from the side.  The cone is Soft Suede on Crumb Cake and the ice cream is Soft Suede, Blushing Bride and Whisper White.  I added some Dazzling Details to the highlights.  June 2nd can’t come soon enough!  Hugs, Fran

Cheerful Critters 01

My brother recently had a birthday and this is the card I made for him using the upcoming set Cheerful Critters.  I colored the images using Blendabilities and fussy cut them out.  On the middle banner I stamped a sentiment from Something to Say.  On the inside I used the Happy Birthday Pop It Up from Karen Burniston and spelled out his name with SU’s Little Letters. The DSP is coming up in the Occasions Mini – Birthday Bash Specialty DSP.

This was a fun card to make!  Hugs, Fran

A Happy Thing 02

Love, love, love this little bird in the Saleabration set – A Happy Thing!  I used Blendies to color him, cut him out,  and set me on the Hardwood background.  The design is the same as this card.  Hope you’re enjoying the Holidays – I am!  But I’m glad to get back in my craft room too!  Hugs, Fran

From the Herd 01

Time for a sneak peek!  This is From the Herd – a set coming out in the Occasions Mini starting January 6th!  (Can you believe we’re talking about a new year?)  This fun set has a main image and lots of cute, cute sayings.  I chose to make a window card with the Oval Framelits so the animals could peek through.  The Crumb Cake card stock was stamped with the Hardwood background stamp.  I used a ruler to draw lines and add “nails.”

Since the image is large, I added the inside greeting to the opposite side of the front greeting.  The animals were colored with Blendabilities – there are new colors in the catalog!!

Aren’t they funny?   This will be a fun set!  Hugs, Fran

This is the same card as this one – the only difference being the size of the sentiment on the front.  Using the larger image really makes this card “pop!”  (and the Silver Glimmer stars help, too!)  It’s amazing the different looks you can get just from changing the sentiment.
