Number of Years 01

This card is my version of the one shown on page 10 of the Occasion Mini using Number of Years.  I thought I’d share how I made it so you can use my measurements.

Start with a 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of Whisper White.

Stamp the Happy Birthday in Archival Black towards the bottom.

Stamp the stem above it in Mossy Meadow.  Line up the flowers and stamp in Blushing Bride, Rose Red and Pool Party.  (The sample in the catalog might very well be Mint Maccaron – but I used Pool Party)

Stamp the grassy/swipe image in Old Olive only inking up one time so it fades out towards the bottom.

Flip this piece over and attach some Old Olive Bakers Twine to the back.  Adhere to a Whisper White notecard using Dimensionals

Use the fine tip glue pen to adhere 3 sequins to the front of the card.

Let me know if you make it 🙂  Hugs, Fran

Botanical Blooms 01

Botanical Blooms is a beautiful stamp set in the upcoming mini catalog AND it has a matching die set!  Here I used just the stamps to make this birthday card.  The colors are Hello Honey, Mint Maccaron and Mossy Meadow.  It’s a fast card and would be easy to make lots of them at the same time.  The Occasions catalog starts on the 5th!  Hugs, Fran

Celebrate Today 02

 

I have more family birthdays coming up and so I got out Celebrate Today and the matching die to make this card.  The Designer Series paper is Schoolhouse and I love the color combo in this paper.  I used Karen Burniston’s Agatha Edges to add an accent.

Inside I used the Pop It Ups new Sleigh Gift Card – without the sleigh!  I simply added a piece of window sheet in the opening so the balloon basket would have a little more support.

Here’s what it looks like from the side.  I love that this die can be used on it’s own!  So versatile!  Hugs, Fran

All About Sugar 01

 

Summer birthdays!  (Or 4th of July – but that was last weekend!)  We have some very special summer birthdays and I always like to create decorations and party favors to help us celebrate.  This is the French Fry box and All About Sugar stamp set.  The little “party” banner is on a lollipop stick and the Fry box has a star die cut from the center with sequins between acetate.  A little bling for the party.

The box was made with the new heavy Whisper White card stock and stamp in Real Red.  Time to party!  Hugs, Fran

Many Candles

Build a Birthday 04

 

Candles, candles, everywhere!  I stamped candles from Build a Birthday across the front of this card in Bermuda Bay, Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder and added flames in Crushed Curry.  The strip under the sentiment is actually the Cherry on Top Washi tape with Whisper White under it.  (yes, I could have used the DSP – no, I didn’t even think about it!)

A little Dazzling Details on the flames to make them sparkle.  The scallop border punch is retired (wwwwhhhhaaatt???)  and the sentiment is die cut using the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits.  A little birthday fun.  Hugs, Fran

Age Awareness 02

 

One more Gift Bag Punch Board bag – a shaker bag.  I used the Deco Label Framelits to make the opening.  Take 2 piece of acetate (a window sheet or packaging work too), use tape around the edges to make a pouch and fill it with stars and confetti.  Attach it to the back of the opening.  Stamp the ballon and adhere it to the front and add a sentiment.  You could use lots of different framelits!  Hope you have a great weekend!  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

PIU Cheepers 01

Here is Ms Cheepers – a new die from Karen Burniston – blinged out for the front of a card!  She is strutting her stuff on some pretty Flower Pot Designer Series paper wearing her pearls.

PIU Cheepers 01 open

Her friends are nesting on the Pop It Up Barn Pop Stand and the sentiments were created in My Digital Studio. Because I used card stock to create these chicks, it was easy to turn them in either direction.  (DSP is easy too – just takes some thinking.)  To cover the back of the Pop Up stand, I used a 1 1/4″ x 3 piece of card stock, scored at 1/4.”

Bombs Away Birthday 02

 

Today is the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge for March – Funny Cards!  I started with Whiskers the Cat, the Oval and Rectangular Accordion dies and Flashback Designer Series paper.  Whiskers is looking pretty sharp in his 70’s garb and bling glasses!  His scarf is the collar with a hand cut little piece at the end. “Groovy” is from Groovy Love.

Inside is a sentiment from one of the SU Photopolymer stamps – Bombs Away Birthday. It has some really fun sayings.  You can “rock on” by heading over Facebook to Karen’s page to see what all the other designers have created this month!

Balloon Bash 04

Here is my take on one of my favorite cards demonstrated by Carrie Cudney at Stampin Up’s Leadership conference.  It uses Balloon Bash and some of the new (and wonderful) chalkboard paper.  The background is a piece of Back to Black Designer Series paper colored with Blendabilities.  It took me a while to figure out that mine is so much darker than hers because I used Melon Mambo and she must have use Pink Pirouette!  I finished my take on this card with gold twine and sequins – a perfect combo!  Hugs, Fran
