Graduation?  Retirement?  Study Abroad?  This card has a long history and ended up looking absolutely nothing like the card at the beginning. I really like the Epic Day Designer Series paper and it became the focal point for everything else in the card.  The hexagons on the front were cut with my ecutter because I don’t have a hexagon punch – yet! (hint, hint)

And she’s off!  She has her bags packed, her maps and passport (yes, that’s a passport – or a book to read)  She’s mapped out her past or future travels and visited the travel agent. And she’s got her camera ready.

The map, Bon Voyage sign, airplane and arrow are from My Digital Studio.  The dots on the map were made with the tiniest circle on the Owl builder punch.

The luggage is all made with the Ticket punch. 

The camera is the only thing left from the original card idea!  Ah well!

The travel brochure is also made with the ticket punch.  The map is My Digital Studio.  I decided to let the DSP speak for itself for the bottom of the card.  It was too pretty to cover up. 

Where is your Pop N Cuts Dress Form gal headed this summer?

i have several family birthday coming up and need some special cards.  This one uses one of my favorite sets – Word Play.  And this is my favorite sentiment in the set.  The base of this card is the Sizzix Flip Accordion Album die. 

When you open it it swings out like this!  I mixed and matched all kinds of supplies here   I used some Basic Gray polka dot DSP along with More Amore.  I stamped the sentiment on to the paper with Stazon and colored the “world” with a Pool Party Stampin Write Marker.  Then I filled the circle with Crystal Effects.

The arrow is an MDS punch that I used my ecutter to cut out. 

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Bring on the Cake, Word Play
card stock – Basic Gray, Basic Gray DSP, More Amore DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Crystal Effects, Pool Party button, MDS, Flip Album die

The retired list comes out tonight at 2 am my time – yawn!  Should I set my alarm?  (and have I doomed Word Play by saying it’s one of my favorites?)  Hugs, Fran

I had one card left from club and thought I’d change it up a bit by changing the sentiment.  Of course, with a band aid on the front, I couldn’t change it up too much!  The original sentiment is from the Patterned Occasions Sale a bration set.  I used a sentiment from Word Play  to change it up – look at the difference!

Do you have a preference?  Hugs, Fran

I was inspired to create this card from one done by Kris McIntosh.  I chose to use Basic Black as a contrast to my colors.  The colors all came from the Color Coach – pairings for Poppy Parade!  The globe is filled with Crystal Effects – can you see it? This is a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 square card.  (The smaller Whisper White squares are 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 and the center square is 3 x 3.)

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Extreme Elements, Word Play
card stock – Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Whisper White
Ink – Poppy Parade, Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, So Saffron
Etc – Crystal Effects
