Bunch of Blossoms

Bunch of Blossoms 01

Bunch of Blossoms is a set that has a matching punch!  Love that!  For this card I was inspired by the catalog – just decided to add to it.

Bunch of Blossoms 01 detail

The beautiful paper is the Irresistibly Floral Specialty paper and can be sponged over to show off the design.  It’s also pretty on it’s own 🙂  Hugs, Fran

 

Simple Bella

Bella & Friends 05

Oh I just love this set!  Here are some simple cards using some of the stamps in the Daisy Bella & Friends set.  This simple card has Bella and her friend on the bottom corner with a box drawn around them.  The sentiment is placed near them.  Then I tried this –

Bella & Friends 02

I did a more doodle box around the two and placed the sentiment up in the box.  Which one do you like the best?  Hugs, Fran (and Daisy!)

Badges and Banners

Badges & Banners 01

Badges and Banners is another new set that makes sweet cards!  It matches the Best Badge punch and the banner matches the Duet Banner punch.  The paper is the Serene Scenery Designer Series paper.  Just a simple card – but sometimes that’s what you need.  Hugs, Fran

Always an Adventure

Always an Adventure 01

Just a warning – you may not want to take a ride on this hot air balloon!  But you’ll definitely want to try this card!  (and it’s fun to watch it spin!) This is Always an Adventure, the matching dies and the new Sliding Star Framelit.

Always an Adventure 01 side

The Outdoor Adventure Framelit makes this card come together quickly.  The images are solid and are easy to stamp and die cut.  Too much fun!  Hugs, Fran

Cottage Paint

Cottage Garden 02

Just messing around with colors.  I was trying for a more paint chip look – but here’s what happened.  The sentiment is from Cottage Greetings and the Hello is covered in Crystal Effects.  This was the Cottage Garden kit last year.

Cottage Garden 01

Glad the stamps made it to the new catalog.  (Not sure they work with this card – but hey!  )  Hugs, Fran

Happy Birthday USA

Popcorn Box 01

I hope you’re enjoying the celebration today!  This little popcorn box will sparkle on my table today filled with …chocolates!  I made this with the new Popcorn Box die in Pacific Point, Real Red, Whisper White and Silver Glimmer paper.  This box is tiny – smaller than a pop can – but it’s HUGE on cute!  Have a safe and fun day – Hugs, Fran

Homemade Botanicals

Homemade for You 01

I cased this idea from someone – and now I can’t find the person’s name…sigh.  The only changes I made were the background stamp and sentiment.  I didn’t have the set she used so I looked through my sets and found this one from Homemade for You!  The sentiment is from a Paper Pumpkin kit.  I love the soft combo of Soft Sky, Mint Macaron and Daffodil Delight.  Hugs, Fran

Playful Palette Easel

Painter's Palette 04

This is my take on one of the display cards at On Stage (I think the original card was made by Beth Rush).  I used the new Playful Palette Designer Series paper for the color combination. The center of the easel fits perfectly in one of the new square framelits! Think of all the fun combos you could do with the beautiful new papers!  Hugs, Fran
