Cards, Over the Rainbow

Over the Rainbow 01

First – I apologize for the terrible photo.  It is so hard to take a picture of white cards and I need to change my background.  Having said that, this is Over the Rainbow from the annual catalog.  Cute!  Simple coloring and a fun card.  Do you know the rainbow song?  (red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue.  I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too.)  Those are the colors on this card 🙂  I tried to explain this to a friend, and she just looked at me like I’d lost my mind.  Do you know this song?  Hugs, Fran

Beautiful Ride 01

This is my take on the Beautiful Ride card shown on page 15 in the Occasions Catalog. I used Pacific Point and Pool Party. (I believe the sample is Bermuda Bay and Pool Party – but hey!) I stamped the car in Pacific Point on Pool Party yardstick and added some color using a blender pen.  The suitcases were colored with Stampin Write Markers, fussy cut and adhered to the top of the card.  Hugs, Fran

PIU Charm 03

One more Hanging Charm Pull Card from Karen Burniston’s Pop It Ups – this one using the heart charm.  The paper is Stampin UP’s Timeless Elegance Designer Series paper.

This is how it looks when it’s pulled up.  It reveals an embossed sentiment from Stampin Up’s Hostess set , Happy Birthday Everyone.  Around the outside of the opening, I used Elizabeth Craft Design Peel Off Stickers.

Again, I made this one into a full card.  Love all the variety in this die set!  Hugs, Fran

Suite Sayings 01

This is one of my favorite sets in the Occasions Mini catalog – Suite Sayings.  It’s all sentiments and greetings and they are really nice AND pretty fonts.  For this catalog case, I stamped the sentiment and die cut it using Lots of Labels Framelits.  I die cut 2 leaves using the Botanicals Builder Framelits dies and stamped them with the matching Botanical Blooms stamp set.  The color in the center of the tag is done with a sponge dauber, Hello Honey and Cajun Craze ink.  Hugs, Fran

Love You Sew 01

Isn’t this a great sentiment?  This is Love You Sew, a hostess set from the Occasions Mini.  I paired it with Number of Years and the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series paper to make this card. I could give out lots of this card – even give one to myself!  Hugs, Fran

PIU Oval Pull Card 01

It’s Day 1 for the Karen Burniston Design Team – and it’s Anything New!  For this card I choses the new Oval Pull Card die and the new Hot Air Ballon die.  The card size is 5 1/2 x 7  and uses Stampin Up’s Bloomin’ Love stamp set and Love Blossoms Designer Series paper.

I also used the new Pull Card Edges.  Wow do these dies make decorating your card easy! The mechanism that makes this card move can be placed wherever you choose to put it.  As you pull the card open, the Hot Air Balloon moves – cute!  All the Design Team cards will be on Karen’s blog this month!  Hugs, Fran

PIU Baker Beaver 01

Since I’ve turned 29 every year for quite a few years – this card is perfect!  Baker Beaver  and the Cake Pop Stand are a new dies for the Karen Burniston Pop It Ups dies.  Isn’t he cute?  Don’t you love the spatula?  That’s from the new Props 8.  It’s a full set of baking props. For the cake, I used just the largest cake layering piece and cut it down by 1/8″ for each layer. I’ve paired him with Stampin Up’s new Number of Years stamp set.  The sentiment “Look who’s turning” fits exactly on Karen’s new Pull Card Edges.  Baker and his cake are on an action wobble.  The paper is the very fun It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack from the Occasions Mini and the balloons are the new Balloon Bouquet Punch.

Suite Sayings 02

These Petite Cafe Bags make cute packaging for just about any occasion.  I cased the project in the Occasions Mini using Suite Sayings and the Botanical Builder Framelits Die.  Quick, easy and cute – my kind of project!  Hugs, Fran
