I’m working on shutter cards – because I usually get stuck on an idea! This on uses Balloon Adventure and the matching die set. The sentiment was punched out with the Duet Banner punch. The paper is Party Animals – one of my favorites!
Inside is the stamped balloon. For this one I punched the ends of the shutter part with a circle punch. It worked fairly well – so I might have to try more shapes Hugs, Fran
Happy St. Patty’s day! I made a few treats for my (grown up) kids for today. This is the Curvy Keepsake box in Cucumber Crush, stamped with the Every Occasion shamrock and decorated with Teeny Tiny Wishes and a digi stamp from 2CuteInk. I embossed one of the shamrock is gold and tied it to the top with gold twine. Filled with gold coins, it’s a cute little gift for the day. Wishing you the luck of the Irish today! Hugs, Fran
Just a quick post! I really liked last month’s Paper Pumpkin kit. This long pull cards hold gift cards and the sentiment continues as you pull the slider piece down. Very cute! Hugs, Fran
It’s a colorful cake! I love how this set – Cake Crazy – has patterns that work together or separately. I used the colors in the Party Animal Designer Series paper to create the cake. And lots of Dazzling Details 🙂 Hugs, Fran
It’s Pi day and the Paper Pros are celebrating ! I started with Karen Burniston’s Rectangular Pull card and the Lawn Fawn Science of Love stamp set. I drew the chalk board on some Basic Black card stock.
The paper is the In Color envelope paper – lots of cute designs. I did the sentiment on my computer.
The inside has more images from the stamp set and a paper pieced pie.
So you decide which PI is for you! Make sure to check out the other Paper Pros take on this challenge. Hugs, Fran

Yep, you’ve seen this design before – but I really like it for this kind of simple card. The cat was stamped first and then the box drawn around her. I heat embossed the sentiment and added it to the side. So sweet! Hugs, Fran
This is a notecard (3 1/2 x 5) covered with Succulent Garden DSP and using the Big on Birthdays stamp set. Very simple and so cute! Just stamp the ribbon above the sentiment and you’re good to go! Hugs, Fran
I thought I’d change my Valentine sampler to an Easter Sampler. I used the Circle Spring, Basket Bunch and Suite Sayings stamp sets along with the matching dies to make this one. The matting is Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral. You can click on the image to see the squares. Hugs, Fran
This Get Well card uses the My Hero set that supports the Ronald McDonald House. I paired it with the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series paper. The little raindrop embellishments are some old drops that go in vases. Thought I might try to use them up! Hugs, Fran
This Weather Together card is paper pieced. I stamped the umbrella on some So Saffron DSP and used it for the top. It’s a simple card to encourage someone special. Hugs, Fran
