Mouthwatering 04

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Pretty in Pink!  This was one of my favorite cards using this set.  A great big 4 x 9 card to really celebrate a birthday!  The background was done with the Simply Scored tool to make a “waffle” style background.

This was inspired by my friend who is going to a baseball game this week – and hoping for some decent weather.  She’s taking her brother and I thought a fun card to present the tickets would fit the bill.

I used Great Sport – and cased the front of my soccer card! 

I love the lace tape in the spring mini!  It finishes the edges so nicely (and quickly!)

I just drew the lines for the baseball top – not sure that’s exactly what one looks like, but you get the idea!

I have a feeling that this is going to be one of my “go to” sets –  Make a Cake (page 45, 126340/126342).  My pennants look a bit larger than those in the catalog.  The idea is to punch them out and then trim them down (I’m just guessing here!) 

Stamp Set – Make a Cake, A Word for You
card stock – Midnight Muse, Primrose Petal, Whisper White, Subtle Collection Pattern DSP, Patio Party DSP
Ink – Midnight Muse, Primrose Petal, Summer Starfruit, Baja Breeze
Etc – Dazzling Details,  Beautiful Wings embosslit, Baker’s Twine, Scallop Border punch, Petite Pennants punch

Then you can add a tag –

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

I love this size card – semi huge!  (I also love teeny, tiny!)  This is a 4 x 9 1/4 card (8 x 9 1/4 scored at 4.)  The set is Mouthwatering from the Occasions mini and it’s stacked to the sky!

The background is done with the new Diagonal plate for the Simply Scored tool. 

This is an easier “stacker” card than some others I’ve done because each scoop was stamped and cut out before adhering.  There’s no SAMJ involved.  Dazzling Details supplies the cold, frosty look on the edges of the ice cream and Crystal Effects is on the Cherry.

Here’s another take – one I did for my french class because they have no idea what I do – and I’m having a hard time explaining it in french!  I didn’t use the Diagonal Plate background on this one – doesn’t it make a huge difference?

 

The phone rang in the middle of night and it was the automated line from the high school calling – no school due to weather!  I was so confused.  Last night I was out at 9 pm without a coat!  But sure enough – we have our first snow day of the year in March!  And it’s that big, fat, fluffy snow.  So thankful I can stay inside and stamp – love to look at it but I don’t want to drive in it.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Overalls on a Line

Here’s a “boy” take on the washing line card I did here. 

I used the Owl Punch to make the overalls and ran the Baker’s Twine through a Daffodil Delight pad to color it. I stamped the “wash line” with Bordering on Romance – the stamp that matches the Edgelit die- traced it with Multi Purpose glue and attached the Baker’s Twine. 

The clouds are from Send Me Soaring. 

The grass is from Gnome Sweet Gnome.

Ink – Daffodil Delight, Basic Black
Etc – Baker’s Twine, mini brads, Owl punch, Edgelit die

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
