I saw this little bag on Too Cool Stamping – who got it from Dannie Graves! This is what makes the stamping world go ’round! This uses Acorny Thank You from the Holiday mini – cute – and the Gift Bag Punch Board.
It’s a two piece gift bag.
Cute! Tomorrow I’ll show you where I went with this little gem 🙂 Hugs, Fran
I love the large, background stamps. This one is Definitely Dahlia – in Delightful Daffodil! That’s a mouthful! I paired it with Basic Black to make it pop. I can’t find the sentiment. Not only can I not find it on my shelf, I can’t find it in the catalog. Sigh….do you know in which set it belongs? Hugs, Fran
This is a case of a card in the back of the Holiday Mini, Fun to do – but I had to do some “figuring” to get the look I wanted. The new Sleigh Ride Edgelit Dies are cut in Vellum card stock. With the way the card ended up – I think I’d use the Holiday Fancy Foil Designer Vellum that is the first mat on the card. But……Then I cut the Edgelit dies in Whisper White and just cut off the small images and adhered the to the card behind each image. Does that make any sense? I used Versatile Christmas for the sentiment. This will be my “go-to” set this season! The little embellishment is small and light. You’ll love them! Hugs, Fran
Here’s my Holiday catalog case of Embellished Ornaments. I used Mossy Meadow and Red Foil to make the ornaments – and the new Precision Base Plate. Wow! It’s amazing! Just a forward and back pass through my Big Shot and all those tiny pieces in the ornament die cut clean. The bottom piece on the card is the new Holidays Fancy Foil Vellum. Hint – it’s thin. Be careful to only have one sheet in your hand when you cut it!
Crafting today will be at a minimum so I can clean out the garage for our upcoming Rubber Stamp Garage Sale! Once a year my garage gets a good cleaning 🙂 Hugs, Fran
A little Halloween Baker’s Box to fill with treats! The Baker’s Box is so easy to put together! The spider is an svg file from Miss Katie’s Cuttables with some extra circles added to the eyes – and some fun google eyes! On the bottom, I used the scallop border punch and added more eyes. The ribbon on the top is tied to one of the handles and the clothespin keeps the box shut. That way you can open it without having to untie the ribbon. Just something fun 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Is it too early for Halloween?
1. Cut a piece of black card stock 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 and fold it in half to create your base.
2. Cut 2 pieces of Happy Haunting DSP Halloween paper (Holiday Mini catalog!) 3 3/8 x 5 1/4 and adhere to the inside.
3. Place your Rectangular Pull Card die, matching the alignment tab, and cut out.
4. Die cut and assemble Poppy the Owl making him as cute or scary as you’d like. Die cut 2 All Seasons Trees from black card stock. Cut two 2″ circles from white or vanilla.
5. Trim off most of the branches from the trees (do them at the same time so they match) and adhere one to the front of the card to create a branch. Add the circle as the moon and place Poppy on the branch.
6. Make 5 “bats” from the bow tie die in Props 2. Die cut the bow ties and use a hand held punch to punch the bottom of the wings. Karen also has a little tutorial on creating bats from Cocoa the Horse’s hair!
7. Match up the second branch to the inside left of your card. Adhere a moon to the spinner on the inside and decorate with bats and die cut words using Alphabet 1 or Peel Off stickers!
Cute or scary, it’s fun! Hugs, Fran
This is a sweet little single stamp called Get Well Soup. It’s a great image to color! The image is large-ish, so I left the card fairly simple. Colored with Copics and using a punched heart, this is a nice way to create a fun greeting.
You still have time to win the Sprinkles of Life 3-D pattern. Leave your comment here.

Owls in Love! Today on the Elizabeth Crafts Design blog, I have this card with directions. It’s a Katie Label Pivot using the Paris Edge die on the sides. This card fits in a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 envelope.
I used Stampin Up’s new English Cottage Designer Series paper and some of the heavy white card stock. You can find the directions here. Hugs, Fran
A Watermelon Wonder splash of color across this sympathy card! The stamp set An Open Heart and the design was cased from a card I saw on Pinterest done by Lee Ann Pugliese. I changed up the colors, the stamp set and added an extra tulip. The tulips are made with the Bird Punch. Is it too bright for sympathy/concern? BTW – I’m loving the new heavier weight white card stock in the catalog! Hugs, Fran
Summer’s in full swing around here, blocks of crafting time seem to sail right out the door! Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE having family and friends around! I’m just not quite organized enough to get everything done! But here’s a 4 x 4 card made with the Traveler stamp set. It has some really awesome, old fashioned designs. They are perfect for masculine cards, scrapbooking and journals. This is a case from the catalog (page 82) with just a few changes to ramp it up a bit. (I like this sentiment better with the image 🙂 ) Hope you’re getting some extra special summer time too! Hugs, Fran
