Let’s Have Tea

This set is called Tea Together and the stamp set is in the Spring Catalog while the dies are in the Saleabration Catalog! I cased the card shown on page 49 of the Spring catalog, using my Stampin Blends to color the teapot and the Delicate Lace paper for the background. What a fun set to color!

For this card I colored the teapot with Stampin Blends in stripes and used another piece of the Lace paper for the background. The bottom of the teapot is tucked under the opening and the rest is popped up with Dimensionals.

FYI – I am having website issues. Big issues and they are my fault! So if things look wonky, that’s what’s going on! Sheesh! Hugs, Fran

There are so many dies in the Beauty Abounds bundle! I used the little butterflies and die cut them in a rainbow of colors then I stamped the background first in a rainbow and adhered the little butterflies around their colors. To finish it off, I added gold accents. Really, really love this set! Hugs, Fran

I LOVE this die! Absolutely love it! I started by casing the cards in the catalog because I find that the easiest way to get going. This one uses the entire die with one of the stamps used behind it.

This one was done by creating an inked background and using just a piece of the die to create the focal point. So much fun 🙂

This one was created by just floating ink on watercolor paper and letting it gently blend. The sentiment is stamped on vellum that is backed with adhesive sheet. A few stamps at the bottom finish it off.

Now that I’ve cased – I can move on to creating! Hugs, Fran

It’s time for Saleabration! Here’s one of the stamps – Lovely Lattice – that is available for free with a $50 purchase. This also features the beautiful Gingham DSP! Love! I embossed the image and watercolored with ink the flowers. Then I made more using all the colors of the Gingham paper.

This one features the Delightful Daffodil paper.

And here it is in Highland Heather (my personal favorite!)

Balmy Blue.

And all the colors with Lemon Lime Twist! There you have it! Hugs, Fran

It’s almost time for the Occasions Catalog to go live (Jan 3rd) and here’s a sample cased (sort of) from the catalog. The stamp set is All That You Are and I simply used a different a different Designer Series paper- Happiness Blooms – for my card, making it very bright! You can check out the card on page 3 of the catalog and see the differences. Hugs, Fran

Paper Pros December Challenge – Holidays

KB Snowman Twist Circle
Comments

It’s that time of year – a Paper Pros Challenge!  This month is Holidays and I dug through my stash to make a Christmas card.  I used the Karen Burniston Merry Christmas word die and the Snowman’s hat for the front of my card.  (This paper is retired!)  I stacked the word die 3-4 high to make it stand out. 

Inside is a cute KB Snowman Twist popping out to send wishes!  He’s surrounded by some snowflakes and has finally found his hat!

I love his cute little face!  Make sure to check out the other Paper Pro challenge cards for some more inspiration.  Hugs, Fran

Here’s a bright, colorful card for you today!  This is Accented Blooms done with Zig Clean Color Markers and Distressed Oxide inks.  I colored the image first then masked it off and applied the Distressed Oxide ink. 

I added a Daffodil Delight piece of yardstick behind the Hello and some Nuvo Drops to the background.  Hugs, Fran 

Karen Burniston Design Team December Challenge

My inky creation for this month’s KB Design Team Challenge is features the Karen Burniston Tag Book and the Merry Christmas word die.  The little snowmen are from the Mama Elephant Snowman Agenda.  I used Distressed Oxides to make the snowy background.

Inside the snowmen are playing across the Tag Book!

Here’s a close up of them.  I added a few on the outside edges and the hinges.

It’s such a great die!  While this one can be mailed, I’m tying it to a package.  Make sure to check out all the design team’s cards tomorrow on Karen’s blog!  Hugs, Fran

 

More Coffee, Please

KB Coffee Cup, KB Crosshatch

More coffee cards using the Karen Burniston Coffee die and lots of cup coffee cup images!  These cards were inspired by Kelly Booth who sent me a darling card with coffee cups framed in a rectangle.  I changed mine up a bit – but the basic idea is hers!

I used the KB Crosshatch rectangle to make my rectangle and stacked them 4 high to add some depth.  The Coffee Cups are an assortment from Prickly Pear and Hero Arts.  I was coloring with my Copics one night and then decided to make them into cards!  The sentiment is Stampin UP.

It’s a very merry cup of coffee!

Again, this die can also hold a gift card so I need to head to my local coffee shop and grab a few!  

 

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
