I promise to put this set away (for a day or two) after this one last card.  For this Chalk Talk card I abandoned the chalkboard technique and backed the focal panel in white.  I also used the other embossing folder in the Delicate Designs set – just because!

Supplies
Stamp Set – Chalk Talk
Card stock – Whisper White, Epic Day DSP, Silver Glimmer, Pool Party
Ink – Pool Party
Etc – Delicate Design embossing folder, Hearts a Flutter Framelits, small heart punch, basic rhinestone

Okay – pick one!  It might end up as my swap for convention   Hugs, Fran

Mixing the chalkboard technique with some Glimmer paper – works for me   This is a new set in the upcoming catalog called Chalk Talk.  I don’t have the matching framelits (again – yet!) but this image was easy to cut out.  I used the Epic Day Designer Series paper cut in strips for the background and a Delicate Design embossing folder on the Whisper White.  The hearts are a variety of framelits and punches. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Chalk Talk
Card stock – Whisper White, Epic Day DSP, Basic Black, Silver Glimmer
Ink – White Craft ink
Etc – Delicate Design embossing folder, Hearts a Flutter Framelits, small heart punch, basic rhinestone

All sorts of things going on here!  Hugs, Fran

This is the new Designer Series paper – Gingham Garden.  I have paired it up with the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts base and an insert called 3-D Label.  One of the coolest things about the Pop N Cuts base is that it will all the inserts that Sizzix makes.  This one swings – so your decorations work on the inside and out.  I inked my Feel Goods stamp in Strawberry Slush (because I don’t have a marker, yet!) and then colored over some of the words with and Island Indigo marker. 

On the little inside label I used Fabulous Phrases to stamp Hi Friend and the small heart punch.  See how my outside is now my inside?

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Feel Goods, Fabulous Phrases
card stock – Gingham Garden DSP, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Strawberry Slush
Ink – Strawberry Slush, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzaz
Etc – SU Pop N Cuts base, small heart punch, Label Window insert and matching framelit, Edge & Scroll die

Tomorrow is my New Catalog Open House!  You will get your new catalog and be able to play with a few new products.

Secret Garden with some washi tape on the side!  I saw this color combo in Papercrafts and just loved it – so I decided to use it here.  The background uses the new Mosaic Madness embossing folder.  This is such a great folder because the design can be the main focus or a subtle background. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Secret Garden, One in a Million
card stock – Smokey Slate, Whisper White
Ink – Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Basic Grey
Etc – This and That Epic Day washi tape, Secret Garden framelit. Label framelits, Modern Mosaic embossing folder, 1/2 circle punch, Crystal Effects

Yes, there is Crystal Effects in the center of the flowers – which I then set something on top of not once – but twice!  Sheesh!  I finally decided to just go with it.  Hugs, Fran

The layout was inspired by one Julie Salva showed – I changed the colors and added the embossing folder.  To stamp the sentiment in different colors when I don’t have the markers (yet!) I inked up the sentiment in Strawberry Slush and then markered over some of the words with Island Indigo.

Ink – Strawberry Slush, Island Indigo

My friend Jill inspired/challenged/nagged me to get my This & That Epic Day album going   So I finally sat down and committed to a cover and started printing out some pictures.  I started by swiping some gesso across the cover and the added some paper and stickers from the kit.

Tag a Bag Boxes Sneak Peek

These are the new Tag a Bag Boxes that will be in the new catalog (May 31st).  They are very sturdy, little boxes with clear sleeves – cute for holding any little gift.  And very fun to stamp!

I used Papillon Potpourri to stamp this one.  I stamped the butterfly body in Versamark and used Pool Party embossing powder.  The antennas were embossed in white.  Then I went back with a white gel pen and colored in the bodies and added little dots.  

For this one I stamped the box using Mixed Bunch and embossing it with white embossing powder.  (This one is my favorite – I love the white on kraft!)

I topped the Mixed Bouquet Box with a flower made from the Creped Filter paper and a scallop circle punch.  Hint – to make it easier to punch this type of paper, attach it to a piece of copy paper and punch.  Sooooo much easier!  I tied the sleeve with some hemp and curled the ends by pulling them through some glue and wrapping them around a bamboo skewer.  The sleeve is heavy enough that I could hot glue it down.

I made an Oval punch bow for this one using Pool Party Designer Series paper.  Love the touch of color.  Hope you enjoyed this sneak peek!  Hugs, Fran

Baked Brown Sugar and Pool Party – very pretty together!  This card showcases the new Mosaic Madness, matching punch and embossing folder.  The sentiment is Perfectly Penned. 

I die cut the Whisper White using the Oval Accent die and embossing it with the Mosaic embossing folder.  Then the images were stamped, punched and placed on the embossing folder spaces.  I added some Pool Party accents with one of the punches from the Itty Bitty punch pack.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Mosaic Madness, En Francais, Perfectly Penned
card stock – Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink – Baked Brown Sugar (new In Color!), Early Espresso
Etc – Modern Mosaic embossing folder, Mosaic punch, Itty Bitty punch pack, Oval Accent die, 1 3/8 square punch
