Hey Valentine 01

I love this Valentine set from the Occasions Mini – Hey Valentine!  For this card, I colored the fish with my Blendabilities and used Karen Burniston’s new Rectangular Pull Card for the card.  The “wave” edge is her new Beach Edges. The glasses on the yellow fish are filled with Crystal Effects 🙂

As you open the card, there is a mechanism (optional) that pops up so your card becomes even more interactive!  Too cute!

The paper is from the Saleabration pack – Best Year Ever.  Perfect for water, snow or sky. You need some!!  Hugs, Fran

Mother's Love 01

 

Lot’s of new things here!  The stamp set is Mother’s Love and is in the Occasions Mini.  It has great sentiments – and some beautiful flowers.  The paper is the Something Borrowed Designer Series paper (also in the Occasions Mini – page 42 – check it out!  It’s beautiful!)  AND the Katie Label die from Karen Burniston is a wonderful die to showcase all these pretty products!

I even added some of the Sahara Sand Lace Trim – just because it all goes together so well.  Hugs, Fran

Love is Kindness 02

This card is the new Tags Pivot Card from Karen Burniston.  I paired it up with Stampin Up’s Love is Kindness in the Occasions Mini.  The card base is stamped with the Dictionary background stamp and the image was stamped, colored with Blendabilities and fussy cut.  A little Typeset Designer Series paper and some Chevron ribbon finishes off this card.

There is a little, tiny piece of one of the flowers that was added to the front to keep the bouquet full.  Hugs, Fran

Time to Clelbrate 03

Time to Celebrate is one of the hostess choices in the Occasions Mini catalog.  A friend of mine and I love these images and she “challenged” me to make something with them.  I did some very clean and simple cards – simply stamping the images in Momento Tux Black ink and coloring them Blendabilities.  The only addition are some Candy Dots in the corner.

Eifel Tower 01 front

This stamp comes from the Occasions Mini set Hello Life.  My card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and the heart on the sentiment is filled with Dazzling Details.  It sparkles!  But then you open it up and….

It’s Karen Burniston’s new Pop It Ups Eiffel Tower die!  This die has a “stand” that die cuts directly into the card.  The doily is another new Pop It Ups – Paris Edges.  Perfect!

Sheltering Tree 01

Here’s my take on Sheltering Tree from the Occasions Mini.  Instead of embossing, I added Dazzling Details.  This is such a great set!  I used Soft Sky and Early Espresso inks for the winter scene.  This is one of the cards we made at Card Club yesterday.

I keep calling the embossing folder “Distressed” dots instead of Decorative!  Hugs, Fran

One of the Splitcoast Creative Crew challenges this month is to take a frame and repurpose it with stuff from a guy’s garage.  Funny – because my garage contains cars and stamps!  I decided to play along and created this framed piece using stamps from Guy Greetings and the Typeset DSP.  Here are some close ups –

I sponged the squares with Crumb Cake and added some Real Red to just a few places to highlight some of the details.  You can play along too using the key word CCREW0115SF

SAB Big Day 02

It IS a Big Day in Stampin land!  Today starts Saleabration and the Occasion Mini catalog!  For every $50 you spend you get to select a free product from the Saleabration Catalog.  This Saleabration set is called Big Day.  I made up the sample shown in the mini with a change or two to make it my own.  Colored with Blendabilities, it’s a sparkling wish for a happy birthday.  I love this time of year!  Hugs, Fran

Hey Valentine 02 front

Here’s a set that’s perfect not only for Valentines, but any occasion.  It’s called Hey, Valentine – but as you can see, I masked off the Valentine part and just used “you’re a treasure.”  The bag is made with the new Mini Treat Bag Thinlit.  This is a great die that can be used as a flat or standing bag.

I matted my little image on a “sailor’s wheel” made with a circle punch and Word Window punch.  The image is colored with Blendabilities.  This would work for Valentine or birthday treats – or any occasion calling for candy!  Hugs, Fran
