I started with a large, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″ card , Word Set 14 – Hugs, and the new Bayou Animals. I also used Tropical Scenes to create the front.
Inside I added the cute Octopus from the new Animal Add Ons 4 and an Oval Crosshatch.
Here’s a look from the top. I also used the Oval Crosshatch die to create the closure. It folds to the back and closes with magnets.
Lots of fun coming your way! Hugs, Fran

It’s Fall and the Karen Burniston Design Team is creating Window cards. I chose the Rockin Rectangle and the Autumn Elements sets. I stenciled the background and used Copic markers to color the Pumpins, acorns and vines.
The coloring is hard to see through the acetate! Here’s a closer look.
Inside the piece “rocks” out to show the sentiment.
Here are the pumpkins with no acetate.
Make sure you check out the other designer cards! Karen’s will be posted on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran
Prickley Pear has a new release with Hello Jack as one of the new stamps. This cute guy was stamped and colored with Copic markers. Then I die cut him with the coordinating dies. For the background I stenciled some bricks and ink blended the ground. Jack was added with foam tape and attached to the front along with his toys. Isn’t he cute?
There is also a Hello Lilly!
I stamped and colored her with Copic markers and die cut her with the coordinating dies. She was placed on a background that used the Wildflower stamp. What a sweet gal!
You find these stamps and dies at Prickley Pear! Hugs, Fran
These use the same layout and same die to get two different looks.
For the Halloween card I used a lawn fawn stencil to ink the sky in Wilted Violet, Crackling Campfire and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks. I used the Long Nature Edges 2 to die cut the tree line in black. The fence, pumpkinseed bats were die cut with Haunted Tiny House Add-ons and the sentiment is from Happy Halloween. They are matted on the Long Rectangles- Crosshatch. Very spooky!
To change the look but use the same dies, I stenciled the sky in blue and cut the Long Nature Edges 2 in green and brown. Trim the trees from the green and add the brown behind it. Then add the fence, pumpkins and bird in autumn colors. Autumn Blessings is from Word Set 7-Autumn. This is all matted on green Long Rectangles – Crosshatch.
So if you’ve made a design you like, copy it into different seasons or holidays! Hugs, Fran
The Karen Burniston Design Team is getting spooky today with a Halloween card challenge!
My card is a 5 x 7 and starts with the Castle Pop Up used as a background. The clouds are stenciled in Seedless Preserves, Crackling Campfire and Mustard Seed and the moon is die cut using the Crosshatch Circle. The smaller bats are from the Haunted Tiny House Add On and the larger are from Halloween Scene. The grass is from Long Nature Edges. I dotted the sky with a glaze pen.
Inside features the Vampire (Character Add On 1) and more bats! My vampire has bats floating above him on an acetate strip. Happy Halloween was die cut and inked.
I like having the Flap and Closure flap go from the front to the back – leaving the entire front open to decorate. On the inside I stenciled the clouds with white ink on to black card stock and added another “moon.”
Isn’t he handsome? Make sure to check out all the design team creations! It’s spooky fun! Karen’s card will be available tomorrow. Hugs, Fran
It’s the Riley Company Day at Simon Says Stamp! I have some cards to share with this darling, limited time set.
This card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and starts with the Simon Says Stamp Open Grid background and the Happy Birthday die. The opening in this card is made with the Karen Burniston Crosshatch Circle die. And the image is the new Riley and Company I Like You stamp set!
The sentiments in this set are just wonderful and funny! I used the Karen Burniston Katherine Label on the inside to lift the image. The image is colored with Copic markers and the glasses are coated with Glossy Accents.
I also made a mini slimline card with the I Like You image and Simon’s Slimline Sun Rays stencil. Love this sentiment! Enjoy the release and remember that it is a limited time stamp set! Hugs, Fran
The Karen Burniston theme this month is Sunny or Snowy. I chose…….
snowy! Using the Snowflake Pattern Plate, Iron Fence, Street lantern, Long Nature Edges, and Merry Christmas I created a 6 x 6 card based on snow. The Pattern Plate is dry embossed for my background.
Inside I have Santa decking the halls. “Deck” is made with the Alphabet die.
The lanterns are made from strips of card stock attached to printer paper and then die cut.
Santa is made with the Exact Pack 6 card stock. I love this card stock :). Make sure to check out the other designers sunny or snowy cards! Hugs, Fran
It’s Friday the 13th so I definitely need to share a Halloween card! This card measure 5 x 7 and opens with the Flap and Closure die on the right. The front is decorated with the Castle die and some bats, ghosts and sentiment from Halloween Charms.
Inside is the vampire from Character Add-ons 1 and some more Halloween Charms! He’s such a cute vampire! I also used the Crosshatch Circle die to make an area to write your greeting.
Some spiders decorate the sides.
Here’s a close up of his smiling face. Be careful out there today!! Hugs, Fran
Today I’m sharing these Tiny Gnomes in a summer setting. Using the new Karen Burniston Tiny Gnomes, Hello, and Long Nature Edges 2 I created a card with lots of color.
Inside I used the new Garden Bench. The “Groovy” and pillows are made with a piece of paper covered with strips of card stock to make a striped design.
The little gnomes are sitting together with a pop up feature that is included with the die.
The “hope you’re feeling” sentiment was done on a label maker!
Hope you have a Groovy day! Hugs, Fran
