Scrappy Hanging Pull Card

PIU Hanging Charm Pull Card 05

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had some scrapbook paper that I thought might make a good Karen Burniston Pop It Ups Hanging Charm Pull card.  Using the new Baby Charms and the paper on the page, I made a 5 x 7 card for a new bundle of joy.

The card is flat, so I put a few more elements on the back for writing the message.

Almost makes me want to scrapbook again!  Hugs, Fran

 

Notecard Art

Painter's Palette 02

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Painter’s Palette is really a fun set and it fits nicely on a notecard.  The notecards are such a great size for quick cards to send to someone in your life.  And they are mailable!  At 3 1/2 x 5, with envelopes included, notecards make it easy to whip up a card and get it mailed.  This card just uses the stamp set, some Designer Series paper and a few sequins.  Wonderful!  Hugs, Fran

Adding More Love

Love & Affection 02

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Love & Affection catalog case.  I think these colors are beautiful together.  And I love the sentiment!  You can see the entire Affectionately Yours Suite on page 44-45 in the new catalog.  Hugs, Fran

Shaker Marquee

Marque Messages 05

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sparkle, shake and shimmer!  I saw this idea on stage at convention, done by Shelly (!) and decided to make it mine 🙂  Using Marquee Messages, I water colored the image and cut out the middle to make it a shaker.  There are lot of sequins inside and some confetti from the new Sprinkles punch.  A person who is thinking while creating would have stamped the greeting on the window sheet – or not.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Another In Color Grunge

Gorgeous Grunge 06

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While I still had all the In Colors out, I made this card.  Again I used Gorgeous Grunge, but this time I add a Hello You Thinlit Thanks, Crazy About You sentiment and some rhinestones.  Love these colors!  Hugs, Fran

Glossy Resist

Flower Shop 11

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friend Mary Ann brought me a stack of glossy card stock!  So we had a little play 🙂  This is the basic resist technique – stamp the images with Versamark and brayer ink over the entire surface.  Gently wipe off the excess ink and you’re done!  I added a little butterfly and sentiment, die cut it out with a stitched rectangle and put it on a mat and card base.  Easy – and fun!  Thanks, Mary Ann!  Hugs, Fran

Color Me Acorny

Acorny Thank You 02

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a case of a card on page 36 of the new catalog!  Such pretty colors!  I changed up the embossing folder and used the new Floral Affection folder.  The doily is a gold doily – just flipped over to the white side.  The colors are Wild Wasabi, Sweet Sugarplum,  and Pool Party on a Crumb Cake base.  Love these colors 🙂  Hugs, Fran

For Your Shower

PIU Umbrella 01

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a 6 x 6 Shower card made with Karen Burniston’s Stage It Stencils – Rain, and Baby Charms.    The Night of Navy base was cut 6 x 11 and scored at 6″.  This leaves you a 1″ area at the bottom for your sentiment.  The rain was done in a Micorbead Embossing paste and Wisteria Wonder ink.

This is the inside (and kind of the outside too!)  The sentiment is computer generated.  Hugs, Fran
