Bear Hugs 01

Need a quick Valentine treat?  Use the Bear Hugs, stamp set found on page 40 in the Occasions Mini catalog.  Stamp the big bear in Chocolate Chip ink on Crumb Cake card stock.  Die cut the bear, flip him over and stamp him again.  Stamp the heart in Real Red ink on Real Red card stock and die cut.  Fill a skinny cello bag with treats, swipe a bit of adhesive across the bear’s chest and stick the cello bag down.

Bear Hugs, 01 detail

Gently curl the bear’s arms around the bag and use glue dots to attach the heart between his paws.  Hand them out and watch people smile ! Hugs, Fran

Party Pop Up 01

Another catalog case using the new Party Pop Up dies.  These easy to use dies make your cards hold a fun surprise.  I used the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack.  It has 48 sheets of cute designs!  That’s a lot of paper 🙂

Over the Rainbow 01

First – I apologize for the terrible photo.  It is so hard to take a picture of white cards and I need to change my background.  Having said that, this is Over the Rainbow from the annual catalog.  Cute!  Simple coloring and a fun card.  Do you know the rainbow song?  (red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue.  I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too.)  Those are the colors on this card 🙂  I tried to explain this to a friend, and she just looked at me like I’d lost my mind.  Do you know this song?  Hugs, Fran

Beautiful Ride 01

This is my take on the Beautiful Ride card shown on page 15 in the Occasions Catalog. I used Pacific Point and Pool Party. (I believe the sample is Bermuda Bay and Pool Party – but hey!) I stamped the car in Pacific Point on Pool Party yardstick and added some color using a blender pen.  The suitcases were colored with Stampin Write Markers, fussy cut and adhered to the top of the card.  Hugs, Fran

This is how it looks when it’s pulled up.  It reveals an embossed sentiment from Stampin Up’s Hostess set , Happy Birthday Everyone.  Around the outside of the opening, I used Elizabeth Craft Design Peel Off Stickers.

Suite Sayings 01

This is one of my favorite sets in the Occasions Mini catalog – Suite Sayings.  It’s all sentiments and greetings and they are really nice AND pretty fonts.  For this catalog case, I stamped the sentiment and die cut it using Lots of Labels Framelits.  I die cut 2 leaves using the Botanicals Builder Framelits dies and stamped them with the matching Botanical Blooms stamp set.  The color in the center of the tag is done with a sponge dauber, Hello Honey and Cajun Craze ink.  Hugs, Fran
