This is a little 4 x 4 enclosure card for a birthday gift. The background is done with the Buffalo Check background stamp set in Pumpkin Pie and the lines are drawn with a Night of Navy Stampin Blend. The cake is also colored with the Blends and Wink of Stella is liberally slathered all over the cake 🙂 I added some little details with a white gel pen to finish off the look. It’s all matted up with a scallop circle! Hugs, Fran
It’s so much fun to celebrate birthdays and the Piece of Cake stamp set in the Occasions catalog makes that easy! I stamped a line of cakes across a long card and colored them in with Stampin Blends. The little sentiment is popped up on the side, but the highlight is the cakes! Hugs, Fran
The Just Because set is a hostess set for the Occasions catalog. I stamped this image on watercolor paper and watercolored it with re-inkers. Then I added some cute little gems and matted it on some Happiness Abounds DSP. Very sweet! Hugs, Fran
Valentine’s Day is almost here and I’m getting out a few more cards. This one uses the Meant To Be bundle from the Occasions catalog and a Concord & 9th Mosaic Turnabout Stamp. I die cut the heart from Pool Party card stock and traced around it on the white base – and die cut that. Then I cut 2 pieces of acetate and sandwiched some sequins between them, put it between the 2 layers and added the scallop trim to finish it off.
So now you can see the sequins on both sides! Hugs, Fran
I made some cards using the vellum that goes with the Painted Glass stamp set, colored on the back with Stampin Blends. The sentiment is a retired Verve stamp. This vellum has such lovely patterns!
I just changed up the colors to match the flowers. The vellum is adhered by running it through my Xyron sticker maker after coloring.
There are 4 of these strips – but one got sent out before I remembered to snap a pic! Hugs, Fran
I will say it again – I love this die! Today I die cut the Butterfly die from the Occasions catalog from a piece of white card stock that I had ink blended with soft colors of dye ink. Balmy Blue, Lemon Lime Twist, Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral. I added black over the top and put it on some black checked paper. Then I added some sequins 🙂 The colors just pop! Hugs, Fran
This card is made with the Birthday Cheer bundle. The cupcakes are a die that cut the design on the edge of the yardstick. I used Coastal Cabana to go with the How Sweet It Is DSP from the Occasions catalog and inlaid the frosting and cherries /hearts. I added a few clear sequins to bling it up. Hugs, Fran
This little card has a little story! I made some card strips with new colors during the color change in June. These are some of the left over strips. I just made a pattern on the card and added the cute Pig from This Little Piggy and a sentiment. It’s a 4 x 4 card – great for a little note! Hugs, Fran
This little card is so cute – and took way longer than it should have! I wanted to pop up some of the letters and the bee, so I stamped it twice. Once on the card and once on some scrap. I colored both images with Copic markers and added some designs to the coloring with a white gel pen. Then I cut out the letters to pop up and the bee. Some Pool Party DSP at the bottom finished it off. It took me so long to finish because I colored one and then realized I needed to color two – so I had to duplicate what I had already done! Hugs, Fran
This is a case of the Wonderful Romance stamp and die in the Occasions catalog. There are so many great dies in this set – but the border die is amazing! It gives you the lattice and leaves in one die! I watercolored the main pieces, die cut them and stacked them all together in a some what copy of the catalog. Lots going on on this card, but it was worth it. Hugs, Fran
