A gift card holder for a baby! This uses the fun set B.Y.O.P. (Buy your own present) and Karen Burniston’s new Pop It Ups Gift Card Holder die (coming soon) – with cute, little Snowball the Sheep. The paper is Watermelon Wonder from the Designer Series Paper Stack with a matching In Color Blossom Accent.
I just mixed and matched the patterns of the DSP and used the matching Watermelon Wonder ink.
This set goes so well with this die! Hugs, Fran
This month, Liz has created a Halloween Haunted House file! It’s a cute decoration that has plenty of room for at least 3 cards.
I made it up with the Haunt Ya Later stamp set and Happy Haunting Designer Series paper. Here’s the house, with the sweet vampire at the door. The ghosts are cut from the DSP.
My cards are all shakers. After doing this card, I couldn’t resist doing more! The shaker piece is cut using the Deco Label Collection and filled with sequins, stars and more of that glitter thread stuff (technical term!)
I cut a spider web doily into quarters (just like the Haunted House) and used the pieces inside of the shakers.
You can purchase the pattern here and/or leave a comment here for a chance to win a cut out kit of your own. What was your favorite Halloween costume? Winner announced in 2 weeks.
I have several favorite costumes – my children have always loved to dress up. But the most unique costume was the year my youngest went as a pin cushion. I’ll have to find a picture 🙂
Now hop on over to see the other creations on this blog hop! You don’t want to miss it!

This pretty little Christmas card features Embellished Ornaments and the 6 x 6 Merry Moments Designer Series Paper Stack. It’s a great paper stack – Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Real Red, Smoky Slate and Whisper White in 4 patterns. It’s a lot of paper and a lot of colors! This card will be one in my October Stamp a Stack. Hugs, Fran
Time for Crazy 4 Challenges! September’s birthstone in Sapphire – Show me the blue!
My blue is Soft Sky and Night of Navy – and Christmas! I used the Pop It Ups House Pivot card, Holiday House and the Stampin Up Snow Place set from the Holiday Mini catalog.
I added an extra 1 3/4″ to the side to make a fold in piece for the sentiment. It tucks right up to the fence so it’s hidden when the card is closed. The cute snowmen are out decorating with some Night of Navy light covered in Dazzling Details. Make sure to check out all the cards for this challenge – and play along! Hugs, Fran
This month’s Karen Burniston’s Design Challenge is Celebrate – with Frame Edges! I chose the Katie Label Accordion Album with the matching Katie Stars Frame Edges – and it’s a shaker card! This “too cute to be scary” vampire is from the Haunt Ya Later set in the Holiday Mini. He’s surrounded by Black Glimmer paper stars – the same stars from the frame – sequins, and some long glitter. (I”m not really sure what to call it!) The vampire is colored with Copics. I used the retired SU bat punch with more Glimmer paper and a BIG jewel!
The colors are a bit muted in the pictures because of the glare from the window sheet on the shaker. The purple is Elegant Eggplant. I love how the space on the Katie Label die accommodates so many things! Check out Karen’s Facebook Page to see the rest of the team’s designs! Hugs, Fran
It’s challenge time with Crazies! This week the challenge is to create a card to celebrate Grandparents Day. I used Karen Burniston’s Oval Accordion, Saturated Canary’s Hair image and Stampin Up’s Bloom With Hope sentiment and English Garden Designer Series paper.
The image was colored with Copics and the Happy Grandparents Day was computer generated. Make sure to check out the other cards for this challenge! Hugs, Fran
A spooky treat! This candy bar pull up is certainly looking more “cute” than “spook!” The Mummy is the easiest design to make – strips of card stock, sponge the edges, start layering! I stamped the sentiment from Haunt Ya Later and added to the front, added some 1″ eyes and little gogglie things – and it’s ready to scare and share 🙂
The Rubber Stamping and Scrapping Garage sale is this Friday and Saturday! If you’re in Lexington, Ky you need to come check it out!
Hugs, Fran
I forgot to add these photos to this post! These are the close ups of the cards in the backpack. I used Kind Koala, colored them with Copics – changing the color and buttons on the flowers for each one. The paper in the Schoolhouse DSP.
Happy Labor Day! I hope you’re not laboring – but enjoying the time with family and friends 🙂 Hugs, Fran
This is a new set in the Holiday Mini called All Ye Faithful. I saw several cards using the image in a an ornament – all beautiful – and using this piece of vellum from the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack. Using Night of Navy, I made things a bit more “stream line” since we will be doing this card in the September Stamp and Stack. Hugs, Fran
I’ve been asked to be the guest designer with the “Crazies” over at Crazy 4 Challenges this month! The first challenge is to make a card showing how you’re going to celebrate Labor Day. I will be spending time at our farm having a bonfire – and that means s’mores! I thought I make a card for my niece who won’t be able to join us.
I used Karen Burniston’s Brownie the Cow (we raised black angus!) and Agatha Edges on the front with a SU sentiment from Wetlands. The leaves are from Karen’s All Season Tree.
And here’s the inside – Lots of Pops with a computer generated sentiment.
The logs are from the Pop It Ups Fence Pop Stand and the flames are Cocoa the Horse’s mane and tail and Wiliam the Goat’s goat-tee!
So that’s where I’ll be – sitting with the cows making s’mores!
Check out all the other Crazy’s designs for this challenge and play along! Hugs, Fran
