Shake it up, baby! This shaker card features a sneak peek of a new set – Layering Love. There is also a great new product coming soon – Foam Adhesive Strips. These are 1/8″ deep strips of foam that are 9″ long. They make making shaker cards easy!
The colors are Smoky Slate and Basic Gray for the card and the hearts are Sweet Sugarplum and Rich Razzleberry. Check out the pretty ribbon! It’s the new 3/8″ Ruched Ribbon in Sweet Sugarplum. I can’t stop shaking it! Hugs, Fran
I saw this pretty layout by Sage Kimble on Pinterest and decided to change it up just a bit. I loved the color combo (Wisteria Wonder, Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake) and bottom design so I shrunk it down a bit, added some color to the card base and added a sentiment.
I continued the color block to the inside. The sentiment is from Birthday Blossoms. I also added some rhinestone 🙂
Here you can see some detail with some linen thread and an In Color flower. A card for almost any occasion! Hugs, Fran

It’s almost the wedding season and these new new bride and groom Hanging Charms from Karen Burniston for the Pop It Ups Hanging Charms Pull cards are perfect!
This card is 6 x 6 and the middle square is edged in pearls. The bride and groom are separate charms, so you can use them as you need them! The sentiments are from Karen’s new Best Wishes Clear stamp. I kept my card “postcard style” – with a white back so I can write a nice message.
The card stock is the beautiful Irresistibly Yours from Stampin Up! and it has beautiful patterns embossed on them – hard to see. It’s all tied off with white satin ribbon. Hope you’ll find lots of uses for these darling charms. I will! (hint, hint!) Hugs, Fran
This set was one I really wanted – Pineapple! It’s large. The image is 5 1/4″ tall so it’s considered a background stamp. I did the coloring with sponges. I sponged Crushed Curry on the fruit and edged it with Delightful Dijon. On the leaves, I sponged Old Olive and then edged it in Garden Green. *I will reverse that on the next one!!
The sentiment is from Pop of Paradise. And the background paper is from the In Color paper pack. Hugs, Fran
You might have seen this card – everywhere! It uses the new set Marque Messages! This design was shown OnStage and is so cute and easy. I did mine on a notecard.
The best thing about this design is that all 3 cards are made from just 3 pieces of scrap card stock. You simply stamp the design 3 times, cut the different pieces out and reassemble in 3 different color combos. It’s like a puzzle.
I used Rose Red, Old Olive and Peekaboo Peach. This is going to be a fun one! Hugs, Fran
You Little Furball is a retiring set *sniff*! I’ll miss these cute little faces! I still had one more stenciled background on my desk, so I put kitty on it. The colors are Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and So Saffron. Kitty is in Cajun Craze. Don’t miss out on this set! Hugs, Fran
Something new! Pop of Paradise stamp set and the Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series paper. Stampin Up show this basic design on a gift bag. I turned it into a card with very little fuss. The leaves are embossed in gold – which is hard to photograph! This cute, flamingo set will be in the new catalog starting June 1 🙂 Hugs, Fran
This card is for a sweet young woman who just finished vet school! So of course I had to corral some Karen Burniston animals to congratulate her 🙂 They are posing in front of the Barn Pop Stand. The card is 4 1/4 x 9 and will easily accommodate a check or gift card.
The idea is that all the animals have come to wish her well. Check out the bandages on each one.
Looks like everyone is healing nicely! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
The May Creative Circle Blog Hop is a Mother’s Day card.
My card is a 5 x 5 1/2 base. (When I want a larger card I simply check on the Envelope Punch Board to make sure I can easily create a matching envelope.) I started by stamping and masking the flower down the left side of a piece of watercolor paper, plus one extra flower. I watercolored them using a Clear Wink of Stella brush, Delightful Dijon, Crushed Curry, So Saffron and Cajun Craze ink.
After the flowers dried, I fussy cut just the left side, trimmed the watercolor paper to fit the card and adhered it over the patterned paper. The paper on the left side is from It’s My party Designer Series paper pack. I stamped the sentiment on Crushed Curry, attached it to the front and added the single flower on a Dimensional. Then I coated the centers with Crystal Effects.
I added another piece of DSP to the inside of the card.
Make sure to hop along with us!
Fran Cassidy Sabad – You are here!
It’s the camera again! This time I drew search light beams and colored them with Copics. Again, I stamped the camera 3 times and fussy cut the different pieces and coated them with Crystal Effects.
The dimension is so much fun!
And so is bling! Rhinestones add a sparkly touch to the front. And remember – you can only get this set by hosting a party 🙂 Hugs, Fran
