A Little Bit of Love

This 3 x 3 shaker note is perfect to tuck in a package for your Valentine.  I started with a 3 x 6 piece of Real Red, scored at 3″ to make a little note card.  I already had the negative of a square, cut from another project so I trimmed it down to 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and put a piece of acetate on the back.  Using the foam strips, I made a box on the back and filled it with little shaker bits and some heart from the Confetti Hearts punch.  After adhering a piece of white card stock to seal it up, I die cut a Red Glimmer Love to the front and a white embossed You from Crazy About You.  Hugs, Fran

Embossed Love Treat Bag

Here’s another “find” during my cleaning spree – the Hearts Decorative Mask on a petite cafe bag.  I did this one with embossing paste which turned out to be a bit harder than I thought since the bag does not lay flat.  But I carried on!  When it was dry I added the die cut word “love” stacking four of them together to give it some lift.  Then I coated it with Crystal Effects for shine.  I also added some small hearts from the Confetti Hearts Border punch.  Hugs, Fran

Valentine Sampler

Live, Laugh, Love – it’s almost Valentine Day!  This sampler uses all kinds of hearts and stamps to create a keepsake for someone special of for YOU!  Each square is the largest stitched frame die.  I’ll try to list all the products I used below.  Hugs, Fran

Hello Swirls

Swirly Bird 06

You’ve probably seen this design all over the place – cause it’s cute! 🙂  This uses more of the Swirly Bird stamp set and die and this time I inset the die pieces.  By using the positive piece I was able to quickly place the negative pieces.  I used the Hello You Thinlit  covered in Crystal Effects for the Hello and Crazy about You to finish it off.  And sequins – lots of sequins!  Some things just need to be repeated.  Hugs, Fran

Peek a boo Thanks

Swirly Bird 05

Swirly Bird Thanks!  I used the Swirly Bird stamp set (again) to make some background paper in Peek a boo Peach and added some swirly roses in Peek a boo Peach and Calypso Coral.  The “Thanks” is the Hello You Thinlits die cut in Peek a boo Peach and covered with Crystal Effect. I just snipped off the “s” and added the “you” from Crazy About You in Calypso Coral.  Hugs, Fran

While I still had all the In Colors out, I made this card.  Again I used Gorgeous Grunge, but this time I add a Hello You Thinlit Thanks, Crazy About You sentiment and some rhinestones.  Love these colors!  Hugs, Fran

Design Decisions

Crazy About You 04

 

This was design #1.  Crazy About You and Sassy Salutations.  The Basic Black is 4 1/4 x 11, Real Red 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, Whisper White 4 x 5 1/4.  Simple design for a Stamp a Stack.

Crazy About You 03

 

Design #2 – Real Red 4 1/4 x 11, Basic Black 4 x 5 1/4, Whisper White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and “the other” flower from Crazy About You (and a blurry pic – sorry!)

Crazy About You 02

 

And this is the one I chose – Basic Black 4 1/4 x 11, Real Red 5 1/4 x 4, Whisper White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8.  I could have gone either way – Black or Red base, but my kids liked the Black base best.  How about you?  Hugs, Fran

 

Crazy About You

Crazy About You 01

 

There is a cute card on page 106 of the new catalog using the Crazy About You stamp set for a square, maybe 4 x 4 , card.  I love the look but wanted a bigger card so I simply took the elements of that card and put it on a 4 1 /4 x 11 piece of Blushing Bride that was embossed with the Decorative Dots embossing folder.  You could also do the reverse – take a large sample and make it smaller.  Or take your favorite design and see how many different sizes you can do!  Stretch those stamp sets!  Hugs, Fran
