This card features the new sets Floral Frames and Healing Hugs (sentiment.) The Floral Frames set has a coordinating die (the green behind the frame) that adds to the look. The sentiment frame was fussy cut and colored with Stampin Blends. I added some Crystal Nuvo Drops to the centers of the flowers. The background paper is the new patterns papers. Sequins finish off the card. Hugs, Fran
The Paper Pros challenge this month is Food and Drink and I have a cute KB Circle Charm for you. I started with some new SU paper – Broadway Bound – and the Karen Burniston Circle Charm die and Coffee Charms. The cupcake is fussy cut from the paper but you could also use the KB Birthday Charms die to make one 🙂
Inside the Birthday Charm Charm cupcake is suspended in the middle. The sentiment is from SU Happy Birthday Gorgeous.
Here’s a closer look and the center with the “lights” turned down so the vibrant colors don’t knock your eyes out! Make sure to check out the other Pros and we eat, drink and be merry this month!. Hugs, Fran

This card is my take on one shown at a demo event using the new set Lilypad Lake and the coordinating die set, Lakeside Framelits. I used one of the dies to create the wavy background and adhered it to some glimmer paper.
The other images were stamped, colored with Stampin Blends and die cut. A small piece of linen thread pulls it all together. I added some little dots of Glossy Accents to add some interest. This set and die will be available on June 1! Hugs, Fran
This was the make and take at OnStage in April using the new Rooted in Nature set that will be available in the new catalog. The set is huge and has a matching die set and lots of different accessories that coordinate with it. The Designer paper is absolutely gorgeous! I’m sure it will be a favorite! Hugs, Fran
A card made with embossing paste mixed with a few drops of Pink Pirouette re-inker and a Decorative Mask stencil. The ribbon was stamped with Melon Mambo and colored with Stampin Write markers. This set carries over to the new catalog – hooray! Hugs, Fran
One of my favorite things to do with a new catalog is to flip through and mark my favorite samples. This is my take on one of the samples for Bike Ride. Using Mint Macaron, I embossed a piece of vellum with the Polka Dots Basic embossing folder. The bike is stamped and die cut with the matching die. The apples are covered with Glossy Accents. It’s nice to take something in your stash and make it new again! Hugs, Fran
This card is a mash of several new products that will be available in the new catalog, June 1st. The sentiment is from Stitched All Around and die cut with it’s coordinating die, Stitched Labels Framelits. The base of the card is Coastal Cabana (!!!) with Bermuda Bay stripes made with a stamp another new set – Abstract Impressions. The die cut in the background is from the Springtime Impressions Thinlets die.
The card is finished off with pearls and silver trimmed ribbon. This card started as something totally different so I was pleased to see how it turned out! All these products will be available on June 1st. Hugs, Fran
Here’s a sparkly mermaid card for someone special. I started with Karen Burniston’s Spinner Square die, the Princess and Mermaid die and the Outdoor scenes die – and lots of glitter paper!. The background was stamped with Stampin Up’s Playful Backgrounds stamp and then I went all the little bubbles with glossy accents. The mermaids are wearing green glitter paper tails to go with the blue glitter paper wave.
Inside a mermaid pops out to wish the birthday girl a special day!
I love how this die works! Hugs, Fran
Photos just don’t do this gorgeous paper justice! It has a beautiful, pearl sheen on the flowers! I used the Love What You Do set from the May Special to make 2 cards in this style. The first one has the stamped image sitting behind the paper.
and the second one has the stamped image area over the paper. Aren’t the pearls wonderful? Do you have a preference of style? All the supplies are available now during the Share What You Love special.

This set is called Serene Garden and it will be available starting June 1st. I love the way this set is drawn! It also comes with a coordinating die set that not only cuts out the images but has other decorator pieces. I did this card with Stampin Blends.
The flowers are popped up and then I colored and die cut them again so I could trim out just the bottoms and pop them up. And shimmer pen – always shimmer pen! Love the look of this one. Check back on June first for links to this set. Hugs, Fran
