Backyard Basic Trellis

It’s all retiring!  Yikes!  This card was inspired by one I saw on Splitcoast.  I used the same layout but changed the stamps and used the Framelits to die cut.  The other card had a beautiful tulip watercolored onto the front of the card.  The deep, side punch is a Martha Stewart punch that I used for a wedding invitation a year or two ago. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Backyard Basics, Blessings from heaven
Cardstock – Whisper White
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Stampin Write Markers – Crisp Cantaloupe, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky, Pool Party
Etc – Backyard Basics Framlits, MS punch, Dazzling Details

Easter Dress

Feeling very springy today – even if it snows.  This card base is the exclusive SU Pop N Cuts Base and Sweet Sorbet Designer Series paper.  The tag was made with the Scallop Tag Topper punch.  The words are from Blessings From Heaven.  I masked off sections and made the sentiment tighter so that it would fit on the tag. 

And here she is with her Easter Eggs.  The eggs were done with the small oval punch.  I punched them and then put them on a sticky note back into the punch so they would have a more “egg” shape. 

Stamp Sets – Blessings From Heaven, Petal Parade
Card stock – Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Sweet Sorbet DSP

The photo quality isn’t great – sorry.  The Crisp Cantaloupe seemed to “glow” while I was taking pictures.  Hugs, Fran

Sympathy

This is one of the cards we will be doing Thursday at my Sympathy/Thinking of You class.  This one uses Happy Watercolor and Blessings From Heaven.  The watermark behind the flower is done by stamping with Soft Sky three times without reinking.  It gives a nice, faded look to the background.

It’s nice to have these kind of cards on hand.  Hugs, Fran

The Case of the Secret Blues

This is a card I cased from Splitcoast by Nichol Tugrul using the Secret Garden set and Honeycomb embossing folder.  This one uses So Saffron, Pool Party and Pink Pirouette. 

Here I did the flowers in blue – Not Quite Navy, Pool Party and Island Indigo.  The sentiment is from Blessing from Heaven and it’s stamped in Not Quite Navy.

You can just glimpse the inside stamping which is from Thoughts and Prayers. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Secret Garden, Blessings from Heaven (or Teeny Tiny Wishes)
card stock – Pool Party Coordinations, water color paper, Wild Wasabi
Ink – so Saffron, Pool Party, Pink Pirouette OR Not Quite Navy, Island Indigo, Pool Party
Etc – Secret Garden Framelits, Not quite Navy ribbon, white embossing powder, aquapainter, Honey comb embossing folder, sander

So thanks to Nichol for a lovely idea!  Hugs, Fran

Sweet Memories

I needed a sympathy card and had no mojo to start from scratch.  So I took this card, change the colors and sentiment and turned it in to a sympathy card.  Problem solved. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Blessings From Heaven, Lacy & Lovely
card stock – Whisper White, Basic Black, Sycamore Street DSP
Ink – Sahara Sand, Jet Black Stazon
Etc – small butterfly punch, pearls

I need to sort through my cards and put them in categories so I can find what I need when I need it.  (That’s just one of the things I need to do!)  Hugs, Fran
