All About Sugar 01

 

Summer birthdays!  (Or 4th of July – but that was last weekend!)  We have some very special summer birthdays and I always like to create decorations and party favors to help us celebrate.  This is the French Fry box and All About Sugar stamp set.  The little “party” banner is on a lollipop stick and the Fry box has a star die cut from the center with sequins between acetate.  A little bling for the party.

The box was made with the new heavy Whisper White card stock and stamp in Real Red.  Time to party!  Hugs, Fran

Oh My Goodies 02

 

I found these little jars and thought they’d make great party treats – filled with Skittles, mints or M&M’s.  I stamped the image from Oh My Goodies 3 times – Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder and Bermuda Bay – and die cut the Cucumber layer, punched the Watermelon layer and fussy cut the Bermuda layer.  Then I assembled it all together, popping up the top Bermuda label piece.  On the top, I wrapped the edge of the lid with Watermelon Wonder and a punched circle on top using Cherry on Top DSP.  A button finishes it off.

Oh My Goodies 03

 

The little pouch treat is made with just the side die from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and more Cherry on Top DSP.  A large star and some ribbon tie off the top and some washi tape adds some punch to the front.  The Oh My Goodies sentiment is in Watermelon Wonder.   Fun treats for special times!  Hugs, Fran

Creative Circle July 2015

 

I’ve been asked to join the Creative Circle Design Team – focusing on lovely 3-D creations and Stampin UP products.  If you’ve just come from Barb’s post, you’re int he right place! This month’s template is a “murse” – or a man’s purse. You can get your own copy of the template at the end of this post. It’s an SVG file designed by Liz Holloway and I was able to cut it out on my Eclips. (or you can print and cut!)  I chose the Go Wild and Cherry on Top Designer Series paper to make my card holder and cards.

For my closure, I staggered 3 front panels (Go Wild, Tip Top Taupe and Basic Black) and added a closure “button” using Awesomely Artistic.

I used Antique Brads on the handle to help it swing out of the way.

Creative Circle Flower Shop 01

 

This card uses Flower Shop and Go Wild DSP on a Heavy White base. The leaves are the Bird punch.

Star Accordion 01

 

Happy 4th of July!  Hope you have a wonderful and safe celebration!  This is Karen Burniston’s Star Accordion Album decorated with some really cute peel-off stickers called Star Buddies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  The paper is Stampin Up’s retired Lullaby.  To do the baby animal images, I put the stickers on adhesive sheets, poured glitter over them and colored on the glitter with Copic markers.  Els has a great video on this technique here.

I used the Baby We’ve Grown set to finish off this card.  And here it is open – with all the animals!  Cute!  Hugs, Fran

Best Thoughts 02

 

This idea was shown on stage this spring – water coloring on Shimmery White card stock.  I stamped the paper using Best Thoughts (hostess set) and used and aqua painter and ink pads to color it in Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.  The base is a notecard – such a sweet size – and it’s finished with a tiny strip of Black and White paper and a piece of Baker’s Twine.  You could put together lots of these in different colors and have fun doing them at the same time 🙂 Hugs, Fran

Floral Wings 03

 

Before I put away Floral Wings, I thought I’d try one using all the new In Colors and those cute little embellishments!  I stamped each vase – starting from the middle and working to each side – added the stems and glued the flowers to the tops.  The little pearls have just a drop of glue to make sure they stay put.  The background embossing folder is Decorative Dots.  Hugs, Fran

Floral Wings 02

 

Here’s another Gift Bag Punch board idea using Floral Wings (hostess set.)  I used a 12 x 12 piece of Crumb Cake and created a bag as shown on the punch board.  Before I folded the score lines (while it’s still flat) I stamped some little flowers long the bottom of the bag in Crumb Cake ink.  Then I added a Rich Razzleberry banner, a butterfly in Lost Lagoon and Rich Razzleberry and a little sentiment banner.  The closure for the bag was punched before the entire bag was put together.  I measured down and marked the sides on each fold line and punched it using a 3/4″ punch.  Then just wrap the Lost Lagoon ribbon around it and tie into a bow.  Add some pearls and a piece of Baker’s Twine for antenna.  It’s nice to have some gift bags ready to fill when needed.  Hugs, Fran

Six Sided Sampler 05

 

Isn’t this a pretty case from the new catalog?  It uses Six-Sided Sampler and a die cut butterfly.  I’m always amazed at how versitile this can be.  The colors I used are Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe and Crumb Cake.  The strip of Glimmer paper just adds a pretty splash.

Six Sided Sampler 04

 

This is another sample using the same set that I cased from a swap last year.  Same set – very different look!  Equally as cute 🙂  Hugs, Fran

Ray of Sunshine 01

 

Perfect card for my family today because we have a very sick puppy!  This card uses Ray of Sunshine and Karen Burniston’s sweet Buster the Dog Character die and Outdoor Edges.  The little bowl and tag are cut from silver foil card stock.  The sun was stamped on Daffodil Delight and then fussy cut – straight lines makes it easy!  Sometimes the simplest cards say just what needs to be said.  Hugs, Fran

Banner Banter 03

 

A Banner Banter Bag 🙂  Made with the Irresistible Designer Series paper, sponged in Bermuda Bay and made with the Gift Bag Punch Board.  The flower in the center is the new Cotton paper – 10 layers – cut with the Floral Frames Collection.  This is super simple to do because the layers can all be cut at one time.  Then you just need to stagger the layers and staple them (twice – make an x) in the middle and pull them up one layer at a time.  Kind of scrunch them as you go and you will have a beautiful flower to attach to your bag.  The little tag is Banner Banter stamped on a piece punched with the flag punch.  Fill and give!  Hugs, Fran
