Paper Pros Spring Challenge

Flower Pot Stand, Hanging Charm Pull Card, Pun Intended, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Comments

It’s spring!  This month the Paper Pros challenge is spring and that means flowers to me.  I used the Karen Burniston Pop It Ups Hanging Charm pull card to create this one.  The paper is the Succulent Garden DSP with the bee from Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits.  The flowers are from the Pop It Ups Flower Pot dies.

The sentiment “Just beecause” is from Pun Intended and “thinking of you” is from Teeny tiny Wishes!  Yes, I was going through all my stuff:)

The bee is on a Mini Action Wobbler.  It gives it a little jiggle as you pull the card open.  I tied the pull tab off with some Succulent Garden and Mint Macaron ribbons.  Make sure to check out all the other spring influenced designs!  Hugs, Fran

Yummy Treat Bags

Yummy in My Tummy
Comments

I needed some treat bags so I turned to Yummy in My Tummy and the cute, fuzzy monster.  To cut out the center of the bags, I used a small Big Shot Plate to cut out the circle on the bag- they are approximately 3 1/2 x 6 – and fit into small spaces.  The Chevron bags are retired but there are Kraft bags in the catalog. Then I stamped and fussy cut the monsters, colored them with Copic markers and used the same circle die to cut out his tummy.  I put a piece of acetate sandwiched between the monster and the bag.  You can make a flag attached to a sliver of card stock and attach it with glue.  I sealed the bags with washi tape.  Party time!  Hugs, Fran

Window Shopping

I’ve been playing with the Window Shopping suite.  These little boxes with all their inserts are really cute – and easy!

This one has a piece of Gold foil in the top.

On this one I made a banner (a bit large!) and did candles on the side.

I used DSP behind the candles and card stock on the  flame.

While I had the stamp set out, I made a card cased from the catalog.  Nice suite and one that will be useful!  Hugs, Fran

Special Reason

A combo of Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and Cucumber Crush – using Special Reason from the Occasions Mini.  This is my case of the catalog.  A few changes but nothing way different.  I really like this color combo 🙂  Reminds me that summer is coming up if we can ever just have spring!  I hope you’ll try it!  Hugs, Fran

Sitting Here

Flourishing Phrases, Sheltering Tree, Sitting Here
Comments

Here’s my cat, Max, waiting for you to come sit with him and give him some love!  I stamped this scene from Sitting Here on watercolor paper in Stazon ink and watercolored.  The cat, pillows and pot of plants are stamped separately and fussy cut.

I went around each piece with a black marker and then created the scene.  The top of the card is stamped with the leaves from Sheltering Tree (you could pick any greenery you have) and is on a piece of Calypso Coral Patterned paper.  The sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases.  Hugs, Fran

Happy Celebrations

Birthday, Happy Celebrations, Occasions Mini
Comments

Sometimes we just need a cute, quick card for someone.  This one uses the Celebrations Duo embossing folders.  You get two of them – Celebrate and Happy – and there is a matching stamp set called Happy Celebrations,  I used just the Celebrate folder, which de-bosses the paper and stamped some circles around the image in Pool Party, Island Indigo and Crushed Curry.  Add some enamel dots and Bakers Twine and you’re good to go!  Hugs, Fran

Time to Color

Coloring is all the rage right now and Stampin Up has it covered with the very cute Inside the Lines Designer Series paper.  There are 4 different patterns – but it’s only available for one more day!  We did this one at Card Club, colored it with the new Watercolor pencils, and paired it with a sentiment from Falling For You.

We added some gel pen and some Wink of Stella to create these cards but they could be left blank and sent with some colored pencils to someone who likes to color.  That would be fun!  Hugs, Fran

Avant Garden Blue

Here’s a card using Avant Garden that I combined two different cards I saw on Pinterest to create.  One was a sketch and one was these colors and stamps.  I used Bermuda Bay, Pear Pizazz and Soft Sky for the flowers and Daffodil Delight for the butterfly from Papillon Potpourri.  I used Wink of Stella on the stamping – just because – and did some background interest with Dazzling Details, some clear elements and candy dots.  The sentiment is from Lift Me Up.  Hugs, Fran
