Fabulous Four 01

 

Here’s another Gift Bag Punch Board bag made with a 12 x 12 piece of Designer Series paper (this one’s retired – but any paper will work!)  I cut a long strip of Whisper 3 1/2 x 11 and stamped the Celebrate from Fabulous Four, masking off the the small words underneath except for the last one, In Mint Macaron.  Flag the end and attach it to the top of the bag.  Cut a butterfly out of Perfect Plum and add some rhinestones to the body.  Add a few flags at the top of the banner and tie it off with the super soft Mint Macaron ribbon.  Love this color combo – Mint Macaron, Perfect Plum, Kraft and Whisper White.  Hugs, Fran

Build a Birthday 02

 

This is a 9 x 4 inch card – a BIG birthday wish!  Using Build a Birthday and Perfect Pennants, it’s a stack of birthday goodness.  Since Build a Birthday is a photopolymer stamp, it’s easy to stack them up. I add some stitching up and down one side and some Crystal Effects.  The Designer Series Paper is Cherry on Top. And the Envelope Punch Board makes an envelope for this side!  Hugs, Fran

Build a Birthday 01

 

Here’s a Build a Birthday gift bag made with the Irresistible Specialty paper.  There is new Color Me Irresistible paper in the new catalog.  To to do this bag, I cut my paper 6 x 12 and covered the entire piece with painters tape.  Brayer or sponge on the color on the first area of paper and remove the next piece of tape.  Wipe off the paper to get the embossed white to show through. Use the tape to cover the area you just did and brayer on more color.  You will need to gently wipe off the ink from the tape too. I chose the colors in the Cherry on Top DSP  – Cucumber Crush, Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder. Pool Party and Crushed Curry.  Then I used the Gift Bag Punch Board to finish the bag.  It’s a fun look for a small effort – perfect!  Hugs, Fran

Adirondak Chair 02

 

Couldn’t help the title of this post 🙂  This card was created using the Flowerpot DSP.  I’m going to be sad to see it retired tomorrow! Notice the little bumblebees holding up the heart.  They are a hint at what’s inside.

There’s sweet Honey Bear having a snack with his friends in his  Pop It Ups Adirondack chair.  The sentiment is from Six Sided Sampler.

Best Thoughts 01

 

Another beautiful hostess set coming your way – Best Thoughts!  LOVE the font!  I stamped this in Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush on watercolor paper and then used my aqua painter (and a little bit more ink) to do a fast wash of color.  I added lots of splatters, rhinestones and some sequins too.  The background in Hardwood.  A little piece of paper doily and some new, soft, yummy ribbon and it’s ready to send. This will be another favorite set of mine 🙂  Hugs, Fran

Bravo 04

Here’s another gift bag made with the new Gift Bag Punch Board and the Bravo stamp set.  This bag is tall (large score line, 12 x 12) and uses the retiring Back to Black DSP with some Glimmer paper.  The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo.  The large banner is made with the Banner Framelits – the small was just snipped.   There is a new black and white DSP coming, but I”m going to miss this one!  Just a few days left until the new catty!!  Hugs, Fran
