Here’s another glittery card using stencils. The colors used on this on are Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Soft Sky. I repeated the colors on the stamp (Fabulous Four.) Behind the sentiment is silver filament, wrapped in a circle and adhered to the back. Hugs, Fran
Do you ever play with stencils? The background on this card is made with the Happy Patterns stencil on page 157 in the Annual Catalog, stencil paste, reinkers, and Dazzling Details. The colors I used are Pear Pizzaz, Calypso Coral, So Saffron and Blushing Bride. The stamp is Fabulous Four – which is fabulous! The glitter really takes this over the top. Hugs, Fran
Pretty Pink! The sentiment on this card is from Remembering Your Birthday and it’s perfect for this card. I used the retired Hearts Framelits to make a series of hearts – one stenciled with Karen Burniston’s Flower stencil and glitter, one with the sentiment and one small heart.
Open it up – and you have a pink Pop It Up Cake with lots of glitter!
Karen has a great video showing how to make this background. But be careful – glitter is addicting! Hugs, Fran
I thought I’d make a card for Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Can you see who’s hiding in my coffee cup? Take a close look –
I used Stampin Up’s Botanical Builder Framelits for the flowers, the bird punch for the leaves and the English Garden Designer Series paper. The cup is from Karen Burniston’s Cup Pop Stand, stenciled with her Medallion stencil and some stencil paste. When you open it up –
Lucky the Rabbit pops outs! 🙂 The sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Helping Me Grow. And hidden behind Lucky –
Is the Sleigh Gift Card Holder Pop Up by Karen Burniston. It’s holding a wonder Starbucks card!
To make Lucky’s arm hang over the cup, I simply snipped where it was attached. Instead of using a large pearl on the inside, I punched a small circle in white and use Crystal Effects over top of it. This will keep the bulk down. Enjoy your coffee! Hugs, Fran
This is a case of the card on page 36 of the Occasions Mini – First Sight. To make this card, I stamped the flourish image in Blushing Bride on a Blushing Bride card base. Then I spritzed it with some shimmer spray (alcohol and shimmer paint. And since I can never stop when spraying stuff, I splattered some gold Encore ink over that 🙂
Using a banner framelit, I stamped half the sentiment on top in Crumb Cake and the rest of the sentiment on the bottom. The heart is Calypso Coral stamped in Calypso Coral and punched out – with the Mother on a strip. I wrapped gold thread behind the heart. The stampin part is a bit fussy – get out your stamp a ma jig – but it’s not hard. Try it! Hugs, Fran
This is a special blog hop! In April, the Creative Circle Team will be doing a Make the Rounds class the day before the Stampin Up On Stage event in Salt Lake City AND doing a Kit To Go option. Here’s a sneak peek of the class. It includes the box and 3 cards-
This is the card holder/box for the class.
For this month’s challenge I’m going to show you an alternate way to use the kit from the upcoming class.
For this design I used the box, fence and grass from the kit. The Birthday Bouquet Designer Series paper is from the Occasions Mini The eggs are made with the Oval Framelits. This is the side view –
The “flaps” are only attached on the bottom so the box opens like this –
I used a small piece of velcro to close the top of the box. Here’s another design –
The stamp set is Balloon Celebration from the Occasions Mini. I used the Balloon Bouquet punch for the balloons. It opens the same way.

Make sure to hop over and see what the rest of the team has made! Hugs, Fran
Fran Cassidy Sabad – You are here!
I was messing around with my airbrush system and came up with this card. I airbrushed several yellow and orange shades of Copic markers on to a piece of Whisper White and then placed and stencil over the top and pounced blender solution over the entire thing, Once it dried, I stamped Serene Silhouettes on the background.
The stencil was one that, I think, came in a magazine! All I was looking for was an interesting texture and I think you could use any stencil to create this look. Hugs, Fran
Helping Me Grow is found on page 20 of the Occasions Mini. I cased the Mini Treat Bag shown there and it it so cute@ Using watercolor paper, I stamped the image in Stazon ink and water colored it using ink and an aqua painter. The little label is embossed in white and tied on the front using twine. Hugs, Fran
I’m watercoloring the world today! For this card I heat embossed in white on watercolor paper the World Map stamp and did a wash with Lost Lagoon, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. Then I stamped part of the sentiment from Going Global on Black card stock and embossed it in white. The “you” is from Hello You Thinlits. I cut it out 3 times, coated it in Crystal Effects and attached it to the card.
All of this is mounted on a card front cut from the Heavy White card stock. Hugs, Fran
This card uses Flower Patch and the matching die, Flower Fair Framelits. I tried several color combinations – Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party, So Saffron and Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral and Real Red, Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder and Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango. The centers are embellished with the Metal Rimmed Pearls. Can you think of any other good color combos? Hugs, Fran
