There are several sets in the Sale a bration catalog from the Idea Book and Catalog – and you can get them free with a $50 product order!  One of them is Party This Way – a favorite of mine!  (You may hear this a few more times from me because several of my favorites made the SAB mini!)  Here’s a 3 x 6 using Party This Way –

I made a mask out of a Post It note and stamped the front of the card with lots of balloons.  On a separate piece of Whisper White, I stamped more balloons and cut them out.  Before I adhered them with Dimensionals, I drew the lines for the strings.  Then I added a few popped up balloons. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Party This Way
card stock – Whisper White (!)
Ink – Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Pretty in Pink
Stampin Write Marker – Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight
Etc – 1/8 Daffodil Delight ribbon, spritzer

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Bring on the Cake – and more!

Here’s a birthday scene created for my neice – and I hope she’s already recieved it since I’m going ahead and sharing it!  This crazy card uses so many sets it even makes me blush!  But I’ll try to walk you through it.  The front is created with, mainly, the super fun Big Top Birthday Designer Series paper and Bring on the Cake stamp set.  Since I really don’t own any sets that go with this paper – I paper pieced images from the paper itself. 


The little clown and stong man are cut from the DSP and popped up on dimensionals –



The strong man’s “thingie that he holds up” has card stock circles applied over top and covered with Crystal Effects – and there is Crystal Effects on the clown’s buttons. 



And then the inside!



It’s hard to photograph because the balloons are on the now retired spiral (cut from acetate) from the Table Setting die.  They “float” up as you open the card. 



There’s a pop-up banner, some flowers, clouds – well, just lots of stuff!  The birds holding the Happy Birthday are from Easy Events – the banner from Pines and Poinsettias – the words from Teeny Tiny Wishes!  Pennant Parade is on the pennant, the ballons are from Party This Way- just lots and lots of stuff! 



How crazy is this?  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

I love using the Matchbox die!  It makes such a pretty presentation for a small gift.  For this one I die cut it in Pink Pirouette and stamped the butterfly from Creative Elements in Pink Pirouette Classic ink on the top of the band.  Then I used the oval embossing folder and oval punch to make a window.  Window sheets make a great way to make a “peek a boo.” 


To make the butterfly, I stamp it three times on Whisper White in Pink Pirourette and cut it out.  Use Tombow Multipurpose to adhere two pieces of fishing string between the layers – glue just at the center – and let it dry.  Add pearls to the center and on the ends of fishing string.  Then I used Stampin Write Markers to make the little tag, punch out with the tag punch and add a little pearl to the flower center.  I used Tombow to glue the butterfly and tag to the box. 

The sides are covered with Pink Pirouette DSP.  Some Whisper White taffeta ribbon (and the Crop a dile!) make the pull.



Wouldn’t these make cute shower/wedding favors?  Here’s a few more variations on this idea –




This uses Party This Way –





Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
