And a few rhinestones 🙂 Today I did a card using only the new In Colors and the stamp set, Work of Art and Perfect Pennants. Love when a card comes together so quickly! You’re going to love these new In Colors! Hugs, Fran

Another Bravo Bag
Here’s another gift bag made with the new Gift Bag Punch Board and the Bravo stamp set. This bag is tall (large score line, 12 x 12) and uses the retiring Back to Black DSP with some Glimmer paper. The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo. The large banner is made with the Banner Framelits – the small was just snipped. There is a new black and white DSP coming, but I”m going to miss this one! Just a few days left until the new catty!! Hugs, Fran
Party Bag
There’s a new Punch Board – Gift Bags! It makes all kinds of cute bags for gift giving. This on uses the new Bohemian Designer Series paper and the stamp set Bravo. The colors in this DSP are Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, Delightful Dijon, Rich Razzleberry and Very Vanilla. I opted to use a tie in the middle (tied with Blackberry Bliss ribbon – retiring!) This board is easy to use (yea!) and makes lots of different sizes. Coming VERY SOON! Hugs, Fran
You’ve Got This
Cuteness case from Carrie Cudney! (Say that three times fast!) These notecard sized cards not only show off the beautiful new In Colors, but also a wonderful new stamp set called You’ve Got This. This is going to be a favorite of mine – simple and pretty. Little bits of In Color ribbon and some Baker’s Twine finish off the cards and don’t forget the matching envelopes made with the new Envelope paper! Sweet! Hugs, Fran
Weekly Deals!
Congrats from Cheepers
Running late today, but I wanted to share “Cheepers” and her Pop It Ups Rectangular Pull Card. On the outside I used Karen Burniston’s Farm Greetings Clear Stamps and Cheepers, along with a Stampin Up Star Framelit.
Inside is the double of Cheepers and Itty Bitty Banners on the Pop up part. Fun – and useful this time of year! Hugs, Fran
Out on a Limb
Wow – the photo is kind of off kilter! (Oh well – not my favorite card of the bunch) This is a notecard with the new Bohemian Designer Series paper and Sprinkle of Life stamp set. I wanted to use the branch and bird so I cased another of Sara Gardner’s cards. I used different paper and it really changes the feel of the card. Maybe if we all tilt our heads to the left it will work better 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Available June 2nd
Amazing Birthday Hamburger Box
This Hamburger Box die is made using the Irresistible DSP that was available in the SAB catalog – and it’s “cousin” is making it’s debut in the new catalog! I decided to brayer the paper in the new In Color – Delightful Dijon. I actually love this new color! It’s a deep mustard (think More Mustard) and is a nice compliment to the other yellows in the color families. Here I paired it with Bermuda Bay – Amazing Birthday stamp set – and some strips of card stock to look like ribbon. They are glued to the box so that it opens without any fuss. The bow at the top is 4 Bow Builder punches just stacked on top of each other with a Paper Doily underneath, I topped it all off with a pearl. This started out as a case of a project in the New Catalog – with a few turns along the way 🙂 Hugs, Fran
I Think You’re Great
Sneak peek – I Think You’re Great! This card shows off some of the new 2015-2017 In Colors and a new stamp set. Carrie Cudney from SU’s home office made a sample that inspired me, though I changed it to use the new Cherry on Top Designer Series paper. The colors from top to bottom are Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Watermelon Wonder. This set is made for the “kissing” technique but my ink pads are way to juicy at the moment! Once I use up some of the ink, I’ll try again. But in the meantime, this will go out as a graduation card.
Don’t forget about the Weekly Deals for this week –
Virgil Birthday
Day 2 for Karen Burniston May Designer Challenge – Barns, Barns, Barns! Here is Virgil the Pig wishing you a happy birthday. I used the new Clear stamp, Farm Greetings, stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin Write Markers. The Designer paper in Flower Pot.
The angle on this picture is sort of wonky but when you open the card, Virgil and his barn pop up! I left the doors of the Barn open so he looks like he’s walking out to greet you! Love that about this barn!
There, that’s better! His barn is decorated with a little Flag Punch banner. Fun! Hugs, Fran
Cupcake with Sprinkles
One more Sprinkles of Life – a cupcake! This shows the Designer Series paper – Cherry on Top. It’s a great 6 x 6 paper stack (Bermuda Bay, Cucumber Crush, Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White.) The cupcake is on the smallest Deco Framelit and the banner underneath is made with the new Triple Banner punch! Don’t you just love the colors in this DSP? Happy Mothers Day to all the women out there making a difference in a child’s life. Hugs, Fran
