Halloween in the House

More Halloween! This starts with the Crosshatch circle for the moon. The bats are from the Halloween scene die and the NEW Haunted Tiny House Add on. The design across the top is from the Border Blends – Argyle. I made the word BATTY with the Alphabet die.

Inside is the new Haunted Tiny House Add on.

There are so many cute elements in this set!

Most of the bats are on strips on acetate so they flutter when open! Hugs, Fran

Scary Pumpkin Greetings

This card starts with the Holiday House, House and Fence, and Halloween Scene dies. I masked a moon off from the background and used a cloud stencil to decorated the background. I mounted it on to a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card with a Flap Closer going to the back.

Inside I have the Character Add-ons 1 pumpkin popping up.

The scene from the front is just extended to the inside. The Character Add-ons 1 will be available to order on August 9th. Hugs, Fran

ROCK, SPIN, POP, SWAP!

Today is the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge and we’re Rockin’ it! You might also see some sneak peeks of her upcoming release (available August 9th.). I use the Rockin Rectangle die for my card.

This card uses the upcoming Tiny Gnomes, Hello, and Gingerbread Tiny House dies. I also use the Nature Edges and Picnic Scene set to create the multi-color background.

The scallop border is 3 stacked layered with top layer impressed with green card stock.

Here’s the Tiny Gnomes Rockin out! There’s plenty of room for your message and lots of sweet treats to make it special.

I used Glossy Accents and Stickles to make the treats shine.

Make sure to check out all the designer takes on this this theme. Karen’s card will be posted on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran

Tag Book Challenge and Some Foiling

Today is the Design Team challenge at Karen Burniston – and the challenge is to use any of the Tag Book dies. Here’s what I came up with –

I used the Tag Book and Flower Pivot Panels to make my card. The background is foiled using the Flower Pattern Plate and gold foil.

Inside is the Flower Pivot Panel. To make the panel, I started with white card stock and stenciled a few clouds. Then I die cut the panel in green, ran it through my machine again with the Nature Edges die and attached the two together.

Close up of the foiling.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this challenge card. Make sure to check out all the Design Team’s cards and, as always, Karen’s card will be posted on Wednesday . Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston Design Team June Challenge – Set the Scene

Set the Scene is the challenge and I’ve created a Slimline Flaps and Frame card using the Princesses and Knights in the Castle for you.

For this card I combined the top two Flaps. I used the Word Set 5- Royalty for the sentiment. “Queen” is die cut from silver foil and backed is dark gray. The “for a day” is inset into the white banner.

The bottom two Flaps are more images from the set. The tops of the castle have been cut apart so the Flaps can open.

Inside the large, top Flap is the Castle die!

This might give you a better idea of how it looks from the top.

So this is my scene! Make sure to check out the cards from the other designers. Karen’s card will post on Wednesday! Hugs, Fran

Lilac Slimline

Prickley Pear has a new release of Sketched Floral stamps. They are so lovely! Today I’ll show you the Lilac stamp.

I decided to make a slimline by stamping the image at the bottom of XPress paper. I taped off the top and then stamped it again. For this card I used my Copic markers to color it. The sentiment is from the new Praying for You, stamped on black and heat embossed with white embossing powder. This was placed over the line where the two images met and edged with silver glitter paper.

All these flowers make a pretty card. Hugs, Fran

I started with the Sassy and Crafty Have a Cow stamp and the Karen Burniston Barn Pop Stand.

I colored the cute cow with Copic markers and added him to the front created with Natures Edges and Farm Edges dies. I stacked the “howdy” 3 high and added it to the front.

I used the other cow image for the inside and paired him with the Barn Pop Stand.

The barn doors can open and closed but I chose to close them. There’s so much detail on the barn!

I love this image! The sentiment is from the stamp set.

My next card uses the Sassy and Crafty Build a Snowman stamp with the Snowman Twist Circle die from Karen Burniston.

I stenciled the background with the Sassy and Crafty Flowing Swirl Stencil and added the darling images from the Build a Snowman stamp set. They are holding flowers from the Backyard Charms dies. Spring is on it’s way!

The images were colored with Copic markers.

Inside I used the Snowman Twist Circle die to make the pop up. The snowman is embellished with pieces from the Build a Snowman stamp set. The background is also stenciled with the Flowing Swirl stencil.

Isn’t he cute? 🙂

All New Dies – Design Team Challenge

Today, the Karen Burniston Design Team challenge is to share any of the new release dies! I chose the Waterfall Card die.

I started with the Flower Plate background die, Castle die, and Princess and Mermaid. The “hello” is from the Summer Words.

I used glue to attach the Flower Plate so it doesn’t interfere with the motion of the Waterfall. The Castle Pop Up is used flat.

It tells a little story by using the Knight and Dragon on the inside.

All the cute edges in the Waterfall Card die make this so fun to use!

And here they live happily ever after! :).

I made this on a top fold card so you can write a note inside. Make sure to check out the other designer’s card! Karen’s card will be posted on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran
