Butterfly Gala Ornament

Cards
Comments

So here’s something different – a butterfly ornament! This was easy to do. You need a craft style ornament, an old book or light weight paper, Mod Podge, and a butterfly punched from the Saleabration paper, Botanical Butterfly. Tear the book pages into small -ish strips and dip them into the Mod Podge. Cove the ornament with them, smoothing as you go. Get your butterfly covered with Mod Podge and adhere it to the ornament. Let dry. I went around the edge of the butterfly with Stickles to make sure the edges stayed put. Add a ribbon and display or gift! Hugs, Fran

SAB Hello Cupcake

Comments

I love this case of Hello Cupcake – and you can get it for free during Saleabration! This is an easy card with a big look. I used Highland Heather for the base and mat. The sentiment is stamped with Gorgeous Grape and the cupcake is fussy cut. That little piece of vellum keeps the focus on the image. We made this card in class last week and used some of the purple glitter dots instead of the clear gems. So cute! Hugs, Fran

It’s time for Saleabration! Here’s one of the stamps – Lovely Lattice – that is available for free with a $50 purchase. This also features the beautiful Gingham DSP! Love! I embossed the image and watercolored with ink the flowers. Then I made more using all the colors of the Gingham paper.

This one features the Delightful Daffodil paper.

And here it is in Highland Heather (my personal favorite!)

Balmy Blue.

And all the colors with Lemon Lime Twist! There you have it! Hugs, Fran

We are going to need Valentines very soon!  This one is made with the Sure Do Love You stamp set and the Lots of Love Box Framelits that match.  The Designer Series paper is Painted with Love and the bottom scallop is from the Colorful Seasons dies.  All of the hearts are popped up with 3 card stock hearts underneath them.  The first heart has a Calypso Coral bow tied with the Calypso Coral Shimmer Ribbon that is free during Saleabration.  The entire thing is finished off with a skinny strip of Gold Foil.  Hugs, Fran

This stamp is from a new Stampin Up line called DisINKtive.  It’s a Saleabration stamp that is free with a $50 purchase and looks like a photograph when stamped.  I stamped it in Smoky Slate and adhered it to a piece of Smoky Slate a little offset.  Then I simply stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray and scattered some sequins.  Such a simple card!  Hugs, Fran


Party Pandas

This may well be my favorite Saleabration set – Party Pandas  I used these cute little guys to create two shaker cards.  There are a few differences (besides the colors!) so let’s take a look at them.

I used the Sweet & Sassy Framelits to make the openings on both cards.  This one is a 4 x 5 1/4 white piece with some Tangerine Tango DSP behind it.  The hat, ballon and heart on the envelope were colored with Stampin Blends and the openings were filled with some retired beads and sequins.  After I die cut the openings, I put the die back over the opening and used a Tangerine Tango Stampin Write Marker to make a stitched line around the hearts.

The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

For this card I switched to Calypso Coral and used the Diagonal Stripe stamp to create a tone on tone background.  The piece is slightly smaller- 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 – because I wanted to add a black mat to the back.  And I ditched the patterned paper on this one and just used white. The Party Pandas will be available on January 4th.  Have a favorite?  Let me know!  Hugs, Fran

Saleabration Epic Celebration

Saleabration starts January 3rd and this is one of the choices that is free with a $50 purchase.  For this card, I stamped the shoes from Epic Celebration in Momento Tuxedo Black in and colored them in with Stampin Blends.  The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The guitar card was colored with colored pencils on Crumb Cake card stock.  It didn’t really come out like I had imagined in my head – so I added shimmer pen (because that should make it better, shouldn’t[‘t it?)  I think I will try it again with the Stampin Blends 🙂  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Here are two cards using Reverse Words (one of the new SAB offerings) and Moon Baby (Occasion Mini.)

I stamped the baby and fussy cut her out.  The Hooray is stamped in Pink Pirouette and die cut with a stitched rectangle, placed on a Pink Pirouette stitched rectangle and then all put on a background embossed with the Large Polka Dots embossing folder.

And here’s the baby boy version done in Marina Mist.  Hint – if you have trouble fussy cutting the umbrella stick – just cut off the top of the umbrella and then reassemble.  Only a few more days to get Reverse Words!  Hugs, Fran

Hey Chick through the Pen

This set needs a sentiment that says “just chicken on you!”  I used the Woodgrain background from the front and die cut a rectangle through the front panel and the card.  I sandwiched a piece of some kind of plumbers tape (I don’t know what it’s really called!) and tucked the chicken in to peek out.

Inside I put a piece of Crushed Curry so the chicken doesn’t get lost.

This set is so much fun!  Hugs, Fran
