While I still had all the In Colors out, I made this card. Again I used Gorgeous Grunge, but this time I add a Hello You Thinlit Thanks, Crazy About You sentiment and some rhinestones. Love these colors! Hugs, Fran

Glossy Resist
My friend Mary Ann brought me a stack of glossy card stock! So we had a little play 🙂 This is the basic resist technique – stamp the images with Versamark and brayer ink over the entire surface. Gently wipe off the excess ink and you’re done! I added a little butterfly and sentiment, die cut it out with a stitched rectangle and put it on a mat and card base. Easy – and fun! Thanks, Mary Ann! Hugs, Fran
Color Me Acorny
This is a case of a card on page 36 of the new catalog! Such pretty colors! I changed up the embossing folder and used the new Floral Affection folder. The doily is a gold doily – just flipped over to the white side. The colors are Wild Wasabi, Sweet Sugarplum, and Pool Party on a Crumb Cake base. Love these colors 🙂 Hugs, Fran
For Your Shower
Here’s a 6 x 6 Shower card made with Karen Burniston’s Stage It Stencils – Rain, and Baby Charms. The Night of Navy base was cut 6 x 11 and scored at 6″. This leaves you a 1″ area at the bottom for your sentiment. The rain was done in a Micorbead Embossing paste and Wisteria Wonder ink.
This is the inside (and kind of the outside too!) The sentiment is computer generated. Hugs, Fran
Golden Pineapple
Nothings says “Thank You” like a golden pineapple! This wonderful background stamp was stamped in Versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder. The gold sequin are a fun embellishment.
The card stock is the Shimmery White card stock paired with Gold Foil. Again, I stamped the sentiment on vellum. (I’m seeing a pattern here!) Hugs, Fran
Painter’s Palette – Catalog Copy
This is a case of the Painter’s Palette card on page 119 on the new catalog. I used Sweet Sugarplum and Peekaboo Peach inks with Playful Palette Designer Series paper. Isn’t the vellum strip so pretty behind the easel? I love how it softens the Sweet Sugarplum DSP. This is a design I will use over and over! Hugs, Fran
Gorgeous (Grunge) In Colors
All together now!
All the new In-Colors using Gorgeous Grunge and Layering Love. I was inspired by several cards – on Pinterest and Splitcoast – and finally ended up with this. I almost went with butterflies – might have to make another! The sentiment is from Layering Love in the New Catalog! Hugs, Fran
Gift of Love
Gift of Love is a new hostess set – a 2-step stamp and it’s so pretty! I used the Watercolor Wash background stamp along with Gorgeous Grunge. The sentiment is stamped on vellum and the flower is stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Flirty Flamingo. Those new Adhesive strips made it so easy to pop up the flower 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Pop It Ups Design Team Challenge Day 1
The May Design Team Challenge is using the new Stage It Stencils by Karen Burniston! These stencils are super fun! They have 2 designs on each stencil that can be used as is or combined to make one darling design! Today I’m using the Baby Pajamas stencil and Baby Clear stamp, along with Stampin Up’s Something for Baby stamp set and matching die all on a Accordion Rectangle card. There’s also a surprise in the middle 🙂
This is the front. I start by stenciling the baby pajama in pink with red hearts on my paper and then die cutting the Accordion Rectangle pieces. The pram is stamped in Wisteria Wonder.
When you open it up, there’s a new matching baby pajama charm hanging in the center.
I sandwiched the Baker’s Twine between the patterned paper and the card stock. Then I added some elements from Something For Baby.
I found a sweet poem about baby girls to decorate the third Rectangle. So sweet! Make sure to check out Karen’s blog to see all the other amazing cards from the design team using her new products! Hugs, Fran
Graduating Poppy
It’s graduation time and I have a few to send out. Karen Burniston’s Poppy the Owl seemed like the perfect character to grace a graduation card! The numbers are the Stampin Up’s Number of Year stamp set with matching die. One of my graduates had blue and white as their school colors. I used the Schoolhouse Designer Series paper for this one.
Poppy’s cap is made from the bowler hat in Props 1. Karen has a diagram on her blog showing how to cut it to make it a cap. The hassle and diploma are hand cut.
Another graduate’s school colors are red and gray. I simply copied the same design and changed up the colors. These card are large – 4 1/4 x 9 – and will easily accommodate a check 🙂
Here he is in Smoky Slate. He looks so smart! The Number of Years set makes this a easy card to put together. Hugs, Fran
