Amazing Birthday 03

Just in case you’re celebrating National Bathtub Day tomorrow, I thought I’d share a card!  The challenge is to make a card for “another” holiday in December – and I chose this one.  Using the Bokeh technique, I created a bubbly background with Island Indigo, Marina Mist and Pool Party inks.  The sentiment is from Amazing Birthday.  To make the bubbles on the tag, I used my Stampin Mist and Dazzling Details bottles as stamps.  Then, since it was out, I added Dazzling Details to some of the bubbles.

The inside sentiment was created in My Digital Studio.  To play along with the Creative Crew, upload your own “holiday” card using the keyword CCREW1214HF CreativeCrew SUO.  To see all the projects for this month, head over to the Splicoast Creative Crew Gallery.  Hugs, Fran

Ornamental Pine 05 05 front

 

Another challenge card for the December Creative Crew on Splitcoast!  This challenge was to create a window on your card.  I used the Window Frames Collection Framelits – perfect!  The card size is a 5 x 5 and has Ornamental Pines stamped behind it.

Ornamental Pine 05 side

The candle on the front was hand cut and the flame is from the Bird punch.  I “dripped” Dazzling Diamonds down the side of the candle.

The garland under the candle is made with he branch in the Bird punch – just like the flame.  Tie a bow with the Cherry Cobbler seam binding and you have a pretty window card. Play along by using the keyword CCREW1214CF, CreativeCrew, SUO.  Hugs, Fran

Project Life Ornament

One of the December Creative Crew challenges on Splitcoast is to use Project Life in any kind of project.  I used the Hello December Accessory Pack, the wooden embellishments to be exact, and created some ornaments or package tie ons.  The first one used the “joy” embellishment.  I painted it white, sprayed it with adhesive and rolled it in Dazzling Diamonds.  When that was dry I attached a fishing line down the middle of the “O” and added a snowflake from the Frosted Sequins with a rhinestone in the center.  Hang it from some Lost Lagoon ribbon with a jingle bell tied to the ribbon with silver ribbon.

I also made one with “Noel.”  Hope you’ll play along with Creative Crew this month.  Use the keyword CCREW1214SF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM.  Hugs, Fran

Hot Diggity Dog 03

The Creative Crew challenges on Splitcoast this month start with using non-traditional colors on a Christmas card.  I used Melon Mambo, Black and Tempting Turquoise – that’s non-traditional!  These pups from Hot Diggity Dog have just spotted the perfect tree!  The sentiment was done in My Digital Studio2.  Play along using the keyword CCREW1214DF, CreativeCrew, SUO

Tree Punch 01

This little tag is based on a card I saw on Pinterest.  I used the Tree Punch on a piece of Under the Tree DSP.   Create a 2 x 4 1/2 tag and punch it with one of the tag topper punches. On the tag piece underneath, I wrapped pieces of white satin ribbon and added pearls colored with Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities.  Top with a star and tie a piece of Cherry Cobbler seam binding and you’re good to go.

Box Punch Board 01

Today is my Bags and Boxes class and here’s one of the projects we’re making.  This box is made with the Box Punch Board using the Under the Tree Designer Series paper. The “bow” is a rosette made with the Rosette die and the snowflake on top was die cut from a coaster using a retired snowflake die.

CP nugget holder

A long time ago I made these littler nugget boxes – and the pattern was lost when I had to switch servers.  Since I’ve had so many requests for the pattern, I thought I’d share it a new.

Santa Nugget Box Directions

Start with a 5 x 3 1/2 piece of Real Red card stock.  Score in 1/2″ and 1″ on all 4 sides. Cut away the parts shown in the picture and fold into a little box.  For the wrapper, cut another piece of Real Red 3 x 4 3/4 and score on the 4 3/4 side at 1 5/8, 2 1/8, 3 3/4 and 4 1/4.  This will leave a little flap to glue it together

Garden Bench 01

Karen Burniston’s Challenge – number 3!  Blue!  I found a lovely poem about snow and growing old and printed it on to Whisper White card stock then die cut it with a die from Karen’s Katie Label Pivot die.  The Designer Series paper is All is Calm from Stampin Up’s Holiday mini.

Garden Bench 01 open

Inside is the Garden Bench, Tree for All Season and Happy Birthday Pop It Ups!  To make the Happy Birthday curve across the snow, I simply ran it through my Xyron and the addition of adhesive made it easy to bend.

Can you see all the sparkly Dazzling Details snow?  I used acrylic paint to paint some of the branches and added “snow” to the bench and tree (and me, of course!)  Hugs, Fran

Beauty of the Season 01

 

The Designer Challenge for Karen Burniston continues with “white” – white as snow.  I chose to use the Evergreen Pivot die and do a Triple Pivot Card Technique.   The front of this card uses several different embossing folders, Karen’s Agatha Edges die and Stampin UP’s snowflakes found in the Frosted Sequins.

It’s so hard to see white on white in a photo!

The sentiment is from Beauty of the Season.
