Birthday Charm Accordion

KB Charm Accordion, Painter's Palette
3 Comments

This cute accordion card is a new die by Karen Burniston.  The card base is the Charm Accordion and it’s 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches and the die cuts both pieces of this accordion at the same time.  The squirrel is one of her new Woodland Animals (there’s a squirrel, fox and raccoon!)  The little packages at the bottom are from the Birthday Charms die set.

The squirrel is two pieces – the body and the tummy.  The arms are free so it was east to add a package.  The face is drawn on using the openings in the die.

Here’s the inside.  The sentiment is from SU’s Painter’s Palette.  See the birthday hat?  It’s held onto the smaller piece with a jump ring die 🙂  Cute!

The packages are all from the the Birthday Charms too.  The entire set is darling!  You can find more information about the dies here.  Hugs, Fran

Here’s another Crafting Forever card that was colored with watercolor pencils and an aqua painter on watercolor paper.  The rhinestones and Dazzling Detail dots are….well….they’re there!  The background paper is Melon Mambo.  (From Pop of Pink – but you could use any paper and just match the pot)  Hugs, Fran

Just a Note

Better Together, Crafting Forever

Crafting Forever is a new and fun set!  I used the pen image and stamped it three times across a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of Whisper White in Momento Tuxedo black ink.  I used Copics to color the pens and mounted it on a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (scored at 4 1/4) piece of heavy white card stock.  The sentiment is from Better Together.  Its a simple card – fun to color!  Hugs, Fran

Copics used – RV29,RV25, Rv23, R000, YR68, B15, B16, B12, G16, YG09, YG07, YG06, BG000, Y00, Y35, Y28, C5, C3, C1, C00

Paper Pros May Challenge – A Few of My Favorite Things

Challenges, Heart Pivot, Mother's Day
1 Comment

The Paper Pros are at it again with a new challenge – A Few of My Favorite Things!  One of my favorite things is Karen Burniston’s Heart Pivot die.  Using a new Stamping Up Designer Series paper, Delightful Daisy, I created a Mother’s Day card.  I die cut the heart in Wisteria Wonder and stamped the background with another new stamp, Wood Words, and heat embossed “with love” over the top.

On the inside I repeated the background stamping and stamped the sentiment from the retiring Oh So Succulent, on Whisper White and die cut a banner from the Thoughtful Banners set.  The Pool party strip is embossed with the Petal Burst embossing folder and the Wisteria trim is punched with a border punch and placed underneath another strip of the DSP.  The Heart Pivot die is a “forever” die in my collection!

Make sure to check out what the other Pros have created this month!  Hugs, Fran

I love shaker cards but have a terrible time deciding how much filler to put in them.  This one is stuffed!  But boy, does it shake!  I used the Balloon Adventure stamp set and matching die and Tasty Treats Specialty paper to make this card.  The Sprinkles Embellishments inside match the paper.  Very fun – if a little too full.  Hugs, Fran

I’ve been playing with the Window Shopping suite.  These little boxes with all their inserts are really cute – and easy!

This one has a piece of Gold foil in the top.

On this one I made a banner (a bit large!) and did candles on the side.

I used DSP behind the candles and card stock on the  flame.

While I had the stamp set out, I made a card cased from the catalog.  Nice suite and one that will be useful!  Hugs, Fran

I meant to do this card in Cucumber Crush – but somehow used Emerald Envy instead!  I used markers to ink up the image from Vertical Greetings using Emerald Envy, Cajun Craze (pot) and Chocolate Chip.  I added some red berries using the Owl  punch and a bit of Dazzling Details.  It’s finished off with some Real Red twine.  Hugs, Fran
