Chicken Love

Big Shot Large Letters, Big Shot Sweet & Sassy Framelits, Hey Chick, Occasions Mini, SAB, Valentines
Comments

I needed a funny Valentine for someone special so I decided to use the crazy chicken in Hey Chick (Salebration) to peek out and send my love.  (You can click on the picture to make it larger ) This is a 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 card with the “love” part done as a shaker.  I arranged the letters with a heart from Sweet & Sassy framelits and cut them out of Real Red.  The chicken is stamped on the backing of the shaker and a few hearts are attached to the top of the transparency.  The letters are filled with sequins.  Then I used the left over letters to make this card –

The DSP on both cards is Sending Love from the Occasions Mini.  Hugs, Fran

Jar of Love Fish

Birthday, Jar of Love

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

Valentine Treats

More treats!  While I still had my embossing paste out from yesterday’s project, I decided to try to use it on some of these little glassine bags.  You have to work quickly on glassine so the paste doesn’t spread.  I was still using the Hearts mask and was able to do two bags at a time.  Once it was dry, I added a red Glimmer paper “love” and tied it off with some pretty red ribbon.  Filled with treats, they look pretty!  Hugs, Fran

Embossed Love Treat Bag

Here’s another “find” during my cleaning spree – the Hearts Decorative Mask on a petite cafe bag.  I did this one with embossing paste which turned out to be a bit harder than I thought since the bag does not lay flat.  But I carried on!  When it was dry I added the die cut word “love” stacking four of them together to give it some lift.  Then I coated it with Crystal Effects for shine.  I also added some small hearts from the Confetti Hearts Border punch.  Hugs, Fran

Beautiful Stenciled You

I’ve been cleaning my stamp supplies and came across this stencil that I think was a freebie in a magazine.  I sponged it with Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango and Tempting Turquoise.  Then I stamped the girl over the stenciled paper in Versafine and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  To make the girl stand out a bit I painted over her with Clear Wink of Stella.

The hint of sparkle gives her just enough …..something…..to stand out.  Sparkle? I used my Signo gel pen to add some accents around her.  I am hooked on this color combo for the moment!  Hugs, Fran

Back to the Beach

It’s a redo (with maybe another one coming soon!) of this card.  So in case you can’t tell, it’s meant to have the feel of a postcard.  I drew the box around the stamped images and used an old postage punch to make the stamp.  The sentiment was done with a rotary stamp and the images are colored with Copic markers.  This time I only put Crystal Effects on the beach ball and the sunglasses. So maybe next I’ll combine the redo of this card with the die cut on the old card and see where that takes me!  Hugs, Fran

Let’s Go to the Beach!

It’s dark and dreary here so a sunny card makes my heart happy!  This is Day at the Beach colored with Copic markers and masked all over the place!  I used post it notes to mask off each piece and then colored away – eventually covering most of the images with Crystal Effects.  The die is Sunshine Sayings.  I’ll be adding to the card in the future!  Hugs, Fran

Sealed with Love

This is a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card full of LOVE.  Using the Largest Letters Framelits, I cut them out of the Real Red strip and then replaced them with white letters stamped with the line of hearts from Sealed with Love.  The “In the Air” is embossed with white embossing powder.  The heart border is made using the Love Notes Framelit dies.  I cut a sliver of silver Glimmer paper to run through the middle of the hearts.  Hugs, Fran

Valentine Monster

Monster hugs!  This little monster from Yummy in My Tummy is holding a string of Valentines and is on an action wobbler (like this monster) to greet you. The sentiment is from Falling for You.  It’s hard to see, but background is the Falling Petals embossing folder.  Hugs, Fran
