Pun Intended 04

Here is a fun card that has a great surprise!  The stamp set is Pun Intended and the DSP is retired Schoolyard.  I stamped the camera several time so I could pop the lens area out.

But the best part is that the flash lights up!  I used a little lightening kit – called Chibi – that has LED stickers and copper tape and a book to show you how to make the stickers light up!  I actually surprised myself when it worked the first time 🙂

The star at the bottom is where the battery hides.  It won’t light up until it’s pressed.  Too much fun!  Hugs, Fran

Ahoy, stampin friends!  Swirly has a cute, little boat image and the matching die makes waves!  I chose Dapper Denim, Real Red and Daffodil Delight for this scene.  The bottom of the red mat and Whisper White piece were also cut with the wavy die.  Just line it up below the piece you want to cut and it makes a nice curve.  I embossed the sentiment in white.  Hugs, Fran

This is a make and take from On Stage using Love & Affection.  It’s a cute card that uses a lot of new product – including the darling embossing folder.  It really shows it off.

This card uses Love & Affection and the new copper embossing powder!  The “split” is being shown all over the place and it’s really easy to do.  My card base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored in half to create a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 front.  I want my designer paper to end up being 4 x 5 1/4 – so I cut it at 4 x 4 1/4 and made a diagonal cut through it and spread it apart 1 inch.  That gives me the space to stamp and emboss in the open space.  This card was shown at On Stage.  Hugs, Fran

My jar is full of hearts!  This new set is called Jar of Love and it has a matching die – making it easy to create shaker cards.  For this one, I started with a notecard.  Die cut the image from some Designer Series paper and cover the opening with window sheet.  Stamp your sentiment in Stazon and let it dry.  (If you don’t get it exactly right the first time, you can wipe it off using rubbing alcohol)  Use the new adhesive strips to go around the area on the back and fill with hearts in Pool Party, Real Red and Silver Glimmer paper.  Adhere to the notecard and shake!  Hugs, Fran

Beautiful new set!  Flourishing Phrases with a matching die 🙂  I made this sympathy card using the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series paper.  I started by die cutting a large, open oval and adhering the flourish to the oval.

Love how bright and sunny the new Fiesta Birthday Designer Series paper looks!  I cased the box on page 11 using the Birthday Fiesta stamp set and matching dies – so cute!  My box sabot 6 inches tall – starting with an 11 x 8 piece of Tempting Turquoise ad using the medium box setting on the Gift Bag punch board.
