Love You to the Moon (and back!)

Are you working on Valentines?  Here’s one for you – Love you to the Moon.  And I pretty much cased my own card from here to do this one   I used Gorgeous Grunge in Real Red, Smokey Slate and Basic Black for the background and added some washi tape.  The moon spots are touched with Crystal Effects. 

The inside has more washi tape (non-SU gift from my daughter) and the sentiment from Delightful Dozen. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Love You to the Moon, Gorgeous Grunge, Delightful Dozen
Card stock – Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink – Real Red, Smokey Slate, Basic Black
Etc – Clip essentials, washi tape, Banner Framelit, Neutral Candy Dots

It’s fast and easy!  Hugs, Fran

Geometrical

When I first get a new catalog I like to case my favorite cards – just to get the ideas flowing.  These cards are on page 10 of the Spring/Occasions/whatever it is called mini catalog.  They use the Geometrical stamp set.  I really like the top card – and the bottom turned out just okay. 

But it was fun to start playing with the Hexagon Hive Thinlit!  (tip – place a piece of waxed paper between the paper and the die for easy release!) 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Geometrical, Gorgeous Grunge
Card stock – Whisper White
Inks – Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush, Smokey Slate, Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Hexagon Hive Thinlit, sequins, washi tape, black cord, sewing machine

Find time to stamp something today!  Hugs, Fran

Perfect Pennants

This card was made for a good friend of mine and this sentiment from Perfect Pennants was, well, perfect!  I based the colors on the Retro Fresh This and That Washi tape. 

On the inside I stamped one of the tape looking stamps across the bottom.  This could easily be more washi tape if you aren’t in the mood to try and stamp a straight line!.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Perfect Pennants, Gorgeous Grunge, Petite Pairs
Card stock – Very Vanilla
Ink – Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango
Etc – Retro Fresh Washi Tape, Cute Clip, Banner Framelit

Hope you have a great weekend!  Hugs, Fran

Oh Hello Again

Here’s a Thinlit Flip card using Oh Hello and Postage Due with a little Gorgeous Grunge to spice things up!  The Designer Series paper is Venetian Romance. 

I really cut this card twice – once in Crisp Cantaloupe card stock and then again using the DSP.  I made this an extended flip card by cutting the card 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and pulling the end through the Thinlit so it wouldn’t get cut.  This leaves a nice score line. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Oh Hello, Gorgeous Grunge, Postage Due
card stock – Very Vanilla, Venetian Romance, Crisp Cantaloupe
Ink – Soft Suede, Pistachio Pudding
Etc – Thinlits Label Flip die, Soft Suede ribbon

We stamped all day yesterday!  Thanks to everyone who came to the Very merry Christmas classes – it was fun!  Hugs, Fran
