On the Farm

Another Wonderful Year, KB House & Fence, KB Outdoor Scene, KB Tree Pop Up, Stitched All Around
4 Comments

This is my Father’s Day card for my dad.  I used all kinds of stuff to make this card!  The stamps are MFT Animal Farm and the sentiment is Stampin Up’s Stitched All Around.  Those cute clouds are Karen Burniston’s Outdoor Scenes. The card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 Crumb Cake with Old Olive patterned paper.

Inside features the Karen Burniston Tree Pop Up and the House & Fence Pop Up.  I fashioned the house to match our farm house by stenciling the background with a brick stencil very lightly – going for the look of stone.   The grass is also from the Outdoor Scenes die.

I made a few simple boxes to pop up some of the animals and some are attached directly to the back.  I had to trim the tree (!) so the horse could peek through!  And  yes, we raise black angus cattle so the poor dairy cow had to have a make over!

The sentiments are from Stampin Up’s Another Wonderful Year and Truly Tailored (retired.)  This is when I realize I’ve used a birthday sentiment!!  So in the final version I’ve covered up the birthday part with Happy Father’s Day!  Sheesh!  Hugs, Fran

Accented Blooms

This is my Catalog Case of Accented Blooms – done in Old Olive.  The banner flag is embossed with the Layered Leaves embossing folder and the image is colored with Stampin Blends.  The sentiment is punched out with the Tailored Tag Punch and it[‘s all finished off with some enamel glitter dots (retired.)  I think this set is just beautiful.  Hugs, Fran


Abstract Butterfly

Handwritten, Itty Bitty Greetings
Comments

So this is a very busy card 🙂  I started with the new background stamp, Handwritten, that was stamped on a piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock and embossed in white.  Over that is a die from the Springtime Impressions Thinlits in white.  I die cut a circle in So Saffron and another one from vellum.  The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings.

The butterfly is die cut in Highland Heather and a scrap piece of printed vellum and a piece of black.  I added antenna from fishing line dipped in Dazzling Diamonds.

The card is finished off with rhinestones and a coat of Glossy Accents on the body of the butterfly.  Hugs, Fran

This card features the new sets Floral Frames and Healing Hugs (sentiment.)  The Floral Frames set has a coordinating die (the green behind the frame) that adds to the look.  The sentiment frame was fussy cut and colored with Stampin Blends.  I added some Crystal Nuvo Drops to the centers of the flowers.  The background paper is the new patterns papers.  Sequins finish off the card.  Hugs, Fran

The Paper Pros challenge this month is Food and Drink and I have a cute KB Circle Charm for you.  I started with some new SU paper – Broadway Bound – and the Karen Burniston Circle Charm die and Coffee Charms.  The cupcake is fussy cut from the paper but you could also use the KB Birthday Charms die to make one 🙂

Inside the Birthday Charm Charm cupcake is suspended in the middle.  The sentiment is from SU Happy Birthday Gorgeous.

Here’s a closer look and the center with the “lights” turned down so the vibrant colors don’t knock your eyes out!  Make sure to check out the other Pros and we eat, drink and be merry this month!.  Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston June Challenge – The Great Outdoors

KB Outdoor Scene, KB Tent Pop Up, KB Tropical Scenes
5 Comments

This month the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge is The Great Outdoors!  I started with a 5 x 7 card base and decorated it with the Tropical Scene and Outdoor Scenes dies.  The sentiment is a new Stampin Up set called Stitched All Around and is backed with the new KB Rectangle Cross Hatch dies.  The little monkey is from Mama Elephant’s Little Monkey Agenda.

Inside I used both the Kb Palm Tree and new Tent pop ups! And lots of monkeys!  It’s easy to combine both these dies on this size card.  You just need to make sure they don’t catch on each other as they open and close.

Some of the monkeys are attached directly to the tent and tree and others are glued to the Baker’s twine.  This is done by die cutting 2 monkeys and sandwiching them between the twine.

I attached two small Palm trees by using the extra piece in the Tent Pop Up die.  I just attached these to the base of the Palm Tree. This was a fun card to make.  Check out the other designers now and see Karen’s challenge card on Wednesday. Hugs, Fran

Sneak Peek Lilypad Lake

Lilypad Lake, Sneak Peek
Comments


This card is my take on one shown at a demo event using the new set Lilypad Lake and the coordinating die set, Lakeside Framelits.  I used one of the dies to create the wavy background and adhered it to some glimmer paper.

The other images were stamped, colored with Stampin Blends and die cut.  A small piece of linen thread pulls it all together.  I added some little dots of Glossy Accents to add some interest.  This set and die will be available on June 1!  Hugs, Fran

This was the make and take at OnStage in April using the new Rooted in Nature set that will be available in the new catalog.  The set is huge and has a matching die set and lots of different accessories that coordinate with it.  The Designer paper is absolutely gorgeous!  I’m sure it will be a favorite!  Hugs, Fran

Amazing Grads

Big Shot Celebrate You
Comments

I needed a quick card for a graduate and this fit the bill. Highly inspired by a few I’ve seen online (mostly ones with hearts)  I die cut the “Celebrate” with the Celebrate You dies that were available during Saleabration and will be making a come back in the  new catalog!  I inked up the letters with current colors, covered them with shimmer pen and Glossy Accents.  I also did some inking on a scrap of paper so I could punch out stars using a retired star punch.  A strip of paper and it’s ready to go!  Hugs, Fran
