I saw a card that I loved and re-did it using Stampin Up products!  This uses Mixed Bunch stamped on the background in Versamark and embossed in White.  For the flower, I embossed some Crumb Cake with the Distressed Dots folder and punched out some flowers (Blossom and pansy punches)  Then I added Linen Thread and some rhinestones colored with a Copic marker.  The XOXO is from the Circle Thinlit flip die. 

Stamp – Mixed Bunch
Card stock – Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink – Versamark

Here are two cards – same layout – different size middle flower.  The both “work” but which one do you like the best?  They are done on a notecard size card (3 1/2 x 5) and use Petite Petals (smallest), Flower Shop (medium) and the bottom one uses Mixed Bunch in the middle.

Wahoo!

Isn’t this fun?  I honestly never thought I’d use “Wahoo” from Paper Pumpkin – except to make the cards in the kit – but it works perfectly for this little scrapbook design.  This is an 8 x 8 page of my daughter graduating from high school a few years ago.  The technique was shown in our demonstrator magazine and is done by making a starburst mask the size of your paper and stamping in the negative space.  I found that stamps that can be overlapped easily worked the best because you need a fairly solid look or you can’t see the starburst design.  Mixed Bunch is perfect for this. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Mixed Bunch, Wahoo (Paper Pumpkin)
Card stock – Pacific Point, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink – Pacific Point, Real Red
Etc – Brights Candy Dots

I’m actually going to use this on a 12 x 12 layout.  It will make a great focal point.  Hugs, Fran

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

Usually I don’t adhere things down until I’m absolutely sure I’m finished with a card or scrapbook page.  Even then, I sometimes end up wanting to move things!  But I’m taking advantage of my hastiness to show you another evolution.  The card uses Mixed Bunch from Occasions Mini –

First card

So I decided it needed something so I stamped the Poppy Parade square and added some more paper piercing

Still not doing it for me – so I embossed the background

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Mixed Bunch, Delightful Dozen

Here’s a case of a card in Stampin Success demonstrator’s magazine done two ways.  Which one do you like best?

Here’s something else I did with this set.  Since I’ve been doing some wedding samples and the bride wants bright, vibrant colors for her invites, I did a set with Mixed Bunch.  Understand that there is no info on these – just the bases!  Use your imagination

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Happy New Years Eve!  I think it’s appropriate to end the old year with a look to the New Year so here’s another sneak peek of the Occasions mini starting January 4th.  This set is called Mixed Bunch and there is a matching punch available for it – a favorite feature of any set! 

The base of this card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 (8 1/2 x 4 1/4 scored at 4 1/4.)  When placing the flower on the top of the card, you want to make sure it goes no higher than 5 1/2 so it will fit in an envelope.  Grid paper makes this easy. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Mixed Bunch, Sweetly Said
card stock – Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Basic Black, Whisper White, Bold Brights paper pack, Pretty in Pink
Ink – Melon Mambo, Basic Black
Etc – Blossom punch, Beautiful Wings embosslit, Scallop Trim border punch, basic pearls, Bird Builder punch, Neutrals brad, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Have a safe and happy New Year – see you in 2012!  Hugs, Fran
