Still playing around with shutter cards! This one uses the Love and Affection DSP and Night of Navy pattern. It’s on a Crumb Cake gatefold base – not very fancy.
I used the Banner thinlits for this shutter and the sentiment just barely makes it in there! Hugs, Fran
I’ve made this card several times, several ways, but needed another one quick! So I did it again using the Affectionately Yours DSP and some Mint Macaron ribbon. Colored with Copic markers, the heart is a punch with some white gel pen touches. Hugs, Fran
Easter is around the corner and this card (page 19 Occasions catalog)is a lovely way to send a greeting. I used the Falling in Love DSP, gold foil and gold embossing to make it. Very quick but a pretty look. Hugs, Fran
I have done something that I hate – no not the card – but I saw this idea somewhere, wrote it down on my grid paper and promptly threw it away. But this card is based on another one! I started with Serene Scenery DSP and die cut a square from the middle. I added a copper foil square behind it and a strip of Whisper white across the card – and a stamped and embossed strip across the square piece. Then I cut a copper foil dragonfly and adhered it with Dimensionals. Isn’t this a great idea for all those pretty papers that you hate to cut up? Hugs, Fran
I did some card stock inlay with the Detailed Floral Thinlit and created 3 cards. I die cut the Thinlit once in Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette and So Saffron and 3 times in Whisper White and Pear Pizazz. Pop out all the pieces on the White but leave the colors in the their places. Back the Whisper White pieces on a double sided adhesive sheet and fill in the design with the colors. I use a paper piercer to pick up the pieces. It seems tedious, but once you get going it is pretty fast. Once all the pieces are in place, use the die that cuts out the top of the design (that squiggly line piece!) and you are ready to make your cards. The more colors you use, the more cards you can make!
This is a Heavy White 4 1/4 x 11 base
This is on a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 So Saffron base.
And this one is on a 4 1/4 x 11 Pink Pirouette card. They are stamped with sentiments from Flourishing Phrases andI tied with Blushing Bride ribbon. Hope you try it! Hugs, Fran
I’m working on shutter cards – because I usually get stuck on an idea! This on uses Balloon Adventure and the matching die set. The sentiment was punched out with the Duet Banner punch. The paper is Party Animals – one of my favorites!
Inside is the stamped balloon. For this one I punched the ends of the shutter part with a circle punch. It worked fairly well – so I might have to try more shapes Hugs, Fran
Happy St. Patty’s day! I made a few treats for my (grown up) kids for today. This is the Curvy Keepsake box in Cucumber Crush, stamped with the Every Occasion shamrock and decorated with Teeny Tiny Wishes and a digi stamp from 2CuteInk. I embossed one of the shamrock is gold and tied it to the top with gold twine. Filled with gold coins, it’s a cute little gift for the day. Wishing you the luck of the Irish today! Hugs, Fran
Just a quick post! I really liked last month’s Paper Pumpkin kit. This long pull cards hold gift cards and the sentiment continues as you pull the slider piece down. Very cute! Hugs, Fran
It’s a colorful cake! I love how this set – Cake Crazy – has patterns that work together or separately. I used the colors in the Party Animal Designer Series paper to create the cake. And lots of Dazzling Details 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Yep, you’ve seen this design before – but I really like it for this kind of simple card. The cat was stamped first and then the box drawn around her. I heat embossed the sentiment and added it to the side. So sweet! Hugs, Fran
