Who’s that hiding in the background?
This was a thank you card I made using Karen Burniston’s Snowball the Sheep and Lots of Pops die. I used some now retired SU Designer paper and the banner punch.
Looks like Snowball is a part of the group now! Hugs, Fran
Wow! Am I inky? I did this piece on watercolor paper and it was fun! I started on a waterproof mat and smooshed some Melon Mambo ink directly on it. Then some Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango. I sprayed it fairly heavily with water until the inks started running together and smooshed my paper into the ink several times until the paper was covered. After I dried it with my heat gun, I sprayed it again with a mister filled with water and let the little droplets form on the ink. Once that dried, I splattered black ink over part of it! Then I embossed the sentiment from Suite Sayings onto the center and embellished with some adhesive dots. My hands were ver colorful all day – but it was fun! Hugs, Fran
This is a card we did in my June Stamp a Stack featuring the butterfly die and Teeny Tiny Wishes – and washi tape! We used a black butterfly behind the Sweet Sugarplum butterfly to help it “pop.” The sentiment is stamped in Rich Razzleberry so it doesn’t get lost. Hugs, Fran
Fun, messy times in the craft room! I used a piece of watercolor paper for this Swirly Bird card and stamped it in Peek a boo Peach, Blushing Bride, Emerald Envy and Sweet Sugarplum. Then I watercolored all over the piece to soften and blend the colors. Splatter the colors over the finish piece and once it dries (important – let it dry!) I stamped the sentiment in Stazon and some more swirls in Stazon and Tangerine Tango. I also added some die cut swirls. To finish it off, I added the washi tape (told you I was using it!) to the side.
And sequins – always add sequins! Hugs, Fran
I might has a washi tape hoarding problem – so I thought I’d better USE some of this wonderful tape before it gets out of hand! I put the tape on some Whisper White card stock and punched it out with various circle punches and added some Candy Dots. Of course I couldn’t leave it alone so I added Crystal Effects over all the circles!
And keep adding Washi Tape! Hugs, Fran
A Timeless Love Wreath to congratulate the newlyweds or new baby girl – or anything that needs some special congratulations! I watercolored the flowers on watercolor paper and put the Congratulations on vellum. I used a scallop punch on the double layered bottom and added some little pearls as accents.
Repeat the scallop on the inside.
Soft and pretty! Hugs, Fran
You’ve probably seen this design all over the place – cause it’s cute! 🙂 This uses more of the Swirly Bird stamp set and die and this time I inset the die pieces. By using the positive piece I was able to quickly place the negative pieces. I used the Hello You Thinlit covered in Crystal Effects for the Hello and Crazy about You to finish it off. And sequins – lots of sequins! Some things just need to be repeated. Hugs, Fran
Swirly Bird Thanks! I used the Swirly Bird stamp set (again) to make some background paper in Peek a boo Peach and added some swirly roses in Peek a boo Peach and Calypso Coral. The “Thanks” is the Hello You Thinlits die cut in Peek a boo Peach and covered with Crystal Effect. I just snipped off the “s” and added the “you” from Crazy About You in Calypso Coral. Hugs, Fran
I’m going to share some Swirly Bird cards over the next few days. This one has a slice down the middle to show the card stock underneath. It came about when I couldn’t find any matching ribbon in the size I wanted! The colors here are Mint Macaron and Crushed Curry. To do this design, I just cut the Whisper White piece 1/4″ smaller than I wanted the front to be, stamped away and then sliced the paper underneath the sentiment. When I layered it on the Mint card stock, there is a 1/4″ space showing. I adhered it flat to the card stock and popped it up on the card front.
For this one, I only subtracted an 1/8″ and used Melon Mambo, Mint Macaron and Crushed Curry. Then I popped the stamped pieces up on the Crushed Curry and adhered it to the front. Slightly different looks. Hugs, Fran
This is an easy shaker front for a cute Congrats card. Little shaker hearts using the heart from Karen Burniston’s Oval Pull card! But there’s a surprise inside!
Hoppy the Frog – otherwise know as Prince Charming 🙂 He sits on a Pop It Ups Lucy Label Pop It Ups.
This sentiment is computer generated and place on some Silver Foil paper.
He looks happy to see you 🙂 Want the tutorial on how to make this card? Head over to the Elizabeth Craft Design blog. Hugs, Fran
