This Little Piggy

This Little Piggy is my current favorite set in the new Annual Catalog!  They are just so cute!  I started this card with Playful Background and the Diagonal Stripes background stamps.  The colors are the new In Color, Powder Pink, and Black.  The die used is Karen Burniston’s new Katherine Label Pop Up (1011). It has some pretty labels that I used to make a frame around the opening.  The label the pig is on is embossed with a cloud embossing folder.

As you open the card the main label twists to the inside.  Here you can kind of see the Crystal Effects on the “bubble” part of the Playful Backgrounds stamp.  I can’t use this stamp without Crystal Effects!  You can also see how I used a black marker to go around the edge of the Diagonal Stripes label to make it pop.

On the inside I used the new cloud stencil and embossing paste and another label die cut.  Doesn’t this little piggy look happy flying in the clouds?  The inside sentiment is stamped in Versamark on a black strip and heat embossed.  It’s attached on a piece of window sheet so it moves with the pig. The mechanism on this die is super simple!

Here you can see how it works – it really makes my pig fly 🙂  I did a whole group of cards using this stamp in these colors that I’ll continue to share!  Hugs, Fran

Jar of Love Fish

Little fishes wishing you a happy birthday!  I stamped the background using Playful Backgrounds in Soft Sky and Marina Mist.  The little fish from Jar of Love are stamped in Tangerine Tango, die cut with the matching die and popped up on the front.  The balloon is from Confetti Celebration.  It’s fussy cut and popped up – with the string cut above and below the sentiment.  I added Crystal Effects on the open circles, stamped another background image on the strip in the middle and it’s ready to celebrate!  Hugs, Fran
