And last but not least, my Halloween version of this bag! I used the Witch’s Night stamp set and Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper. The image and matting were cut with the Lots of Labels Framelit die. This one is my favorite 🙂 Hugs, Fran

Little Christmas Gift Bags
Continuing on from yesterday! This gift bag uses the new Cup of Cheer stamp set and the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper. The image was inked with Stampin Write Markers.
And this one got a big “thumbs down” from my youngest – the critic! Ha! But here it is, in case it inspires you to do something else! Hugs, Fran
Acorny Thank You Bag
I saw this little bag on Too Cool Stamping – who got it from Dannie Graves! This is what makes the stamping world go ’round! This uses Acorny Thank You from the Holiday mini – cute – and the Gift Bag Punch Board.
It’s a two piece gift bag.
Cute! Tomorrow I’ll show you where I went with this little gem 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Definitely Dahlia
I love the large, background stamps. This one is Definitely Dahlia – in Delightful Daffodil! That’s a mouthful! I paired it with Basic Black to make it pop. I can’t find the sentiment. Not only can I not find it on my shelf, I can’t find it in the catalog. Sigh….do you know in which set it belongs? Hugs, Fran
Dashing Through the Vellum
This is a case of a card in the back of the Holiday Mini, Fun to do – but I had to do some “figuring” to get the look I wanted. The new Sleigh Ride Edgelit Dies are cut in Vellum card stock. With the way the card ended up – I think I’d use the Holiday Fancy Foil Designer Vellum that is the first mat on the card. But……Then I cut the Edgelit dies in Whisper White and just cut off the small images and adhered the to the card behind each image. Does that make any sense? I used Versatile Christmas for the sentiment. This will be my “go-to” set this season! The little embellishment is small and light. You’ll love them! Hugs, Fran
Embellished Ornaments
Here’s my Holiday catalog case of Embellished Ornaments. I used Mossy Meadow and Red Foil to make the ornaments – and the new Precision Base Plate. Wow! It’s amazing! Just a forward and back pass through my Big Shot and all those tiny pieces in the ornament die cut clean. The bottom piece on the card is the new Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum. Hint – it’s thin. Be careful to only have one sheet in your hand when you cut it!
Crafting today will be at a minimum so I can clean out the garage for our upcoming Rubber Stamp Garage Sale! Once a year my garage gets a good cleaning 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Karen Burniston August Challenge 3
One more Inspiration Challenge card! This one is inspired by Frances Byrne (and her amazing scenes!) I did a mixed Circle/Ring Accordion Album using some Mo Manning digital stamps, Stampin Up sentiment, punches and paper.
I also used some Ring Frame Edges on the middle pieces. The flag at the top is shown on both sides and makes the card measure 5 1/2 x 5 1/2.
Then I sprinkles stars all around – various punches and dies 🙂 Make sure to hop over to Karen’s Facebook page to check out all the challenge pieces! They really are inspiring!.
Hugs, Fran
Get Well Soup
This is a sweet little single stamp called Get Well Soup. It’s a great image to color! The image is large-ish, so I left the card fairly simple. Colored with Copics and using a punched heart, this is a nice way to create a fun greeting.
You still have time to win the Sprinkles of Life 3-D pattern. Leave your comment here.

Creative Circle August Blog Hop
Today is the Creative Circle’s August Blog Hop – Sprinkles of Life Ice Cream Parlor. I used Watermelon Wonder DSP and the Brick embossing folder to create this one! It easily holds 3 cards and envelope when the lid is raised. I used the Circle Framelits to make my “handle” for the lid.
I used Chalk Lines in White Stazon to embellish the windows.
You can change the look by simply changing the Designer Series paper. Here it is made up in the Sweet Li’l Things DSP with a Lots of Labels Framelits handle. The pattern can be purchased here. Can’t wait to make it up for Halloween and Christmas!! Want a chance to win this file? Leave a comment below telling me how you imagine this house made up! There will be a winner on August 10th from each blog on this hop – so make sure you see them all! Hugs, Fran
ETA- Congratulations to Cyndi! You’ve won the pattern!

Celebrating You
I have more family birthdays coming up and so I got out Celebrate Today and the matching die to make this card. The Designer Series paper is Schoolhouse and I love the color combo in this paper. I used Karen Burniston’s Agatha Edges to add an accent.
Inside I used the Pop It Ups new Sleigh Gift Card – without the sleigh! I simply added a piece of window sheet in the opening so the balloon basket would have a little more support.
Here’s what it looks like from the side. I love that this die can be used on it’s own! So versatile! Hugs, Fran
