Baby We've Grown 02

This little Circle Accordion album (Karen Burniston) uses Baby We’ve Grown on the front with a little rose and some punched leaves.  The pacifier in the corner is from my stash – no idea where it’s from!  I do love the bunny in this set!

Baby We've Grown 02 open

Open it shows the shaker piece in the middle and a sentiment from Something to Say. To make the shaker, I die cut a circle from the center of the accordion piece.  Then I die cut 2 circle from acetate and sewed around them, leaving a small opening at the top which I filled with punched stars and hearts.  I added some pink micro beads and glued the opening shut with glue dots.  Attaching it to the opening with glue dots, I made a separate ring to finish off the back.

I fully intended to use the Ring Accordion Album to make this card, but grabbed the other and half way through before I realized what I had done!  Silly me!  But I’m happy with how it turned out.  Hugs, Fran

Poppy 02

Here’s an idea for a birthday invitation using Karen Burniston’s Spiral Circle Pull Card and the cute Poppy die.  The Pull Card is so neat because it has tabs to hold the front together. First I die cut the card and then I stamped the front with Hardwood (what a great stamp!)  I added a gear to the front of the Clock and Gears die and put Poppy on the front holding some balloons.  The sentiment was done in My Digital Studio and punched with the ticket punch.

Inside I printed the invite information, also done in MDS.  The finished card size is 3 1/2 x 5 1/2.

Chilly 02 front

The front of this 5 x 5 card features the new Back to Black Designer Series Paper and the set Something to Say.  The inside has Mr and Mrs Chilly in their bridal splendor sitting on top of Karen Burniston’s new Lorna Label Pop it Ups die.  If you look closely, you’ll see that she is sporting a bridal veil and he is wearing his glitter glasses!  To get the different paper on the Lorna Label, I simply cut the DSP off of the label, flipped it over and used the reverse side! To make the writing surface for the inside, just die cut a large heart to carry out the theme.

Pictogram Punches 01

I was involved in a challenge recently where we were given a stamp set, paper and ink and that’s all- to make a card.  My card was quite a yawn.  Imagine this card with no star and no rhinestones.  That’s what I added when I got home to “spice it up.”  This set is Pictogram Punches 9134261/134264) and it works with the New Itty Bitty Accents Punches (133787)

Supplies

Stamp Set – Pictogram Punches

Card stock – Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss, So Saffron

Ink – Blackberry Bliss, Tangelo Twist

Etc – Star Framelits, rhinestones

I was happy to find that this set works with the punches – I love it when that happens!  Hugs, Fran

Polka Dot Pieces 01

Here’s my last catalog case (for now!) from page 139, using Polka Dot Pieces.  The catalog did some sewing on the bottom of the card.  I chose to machine stitch a piece of Craft card stock and then adhere it to the front.  Instead of just a piece of washi tape, I put mine across the entire front.  The ribbon on my card was Blushing Bride 1/4 cotton that I ran over my Cantaloupe Crisp ink pad.  I should have started with Whisper White ribbon – but the Blushing Bride worked.  I think I’m going to LOVE this ribbon!

Ink – Baked Brown Sugar

I love the combo of looks and feels on this cards.  Hugs, Fran

Mosaic Madness 05

This catalog case is from page 163.  I stuck to the card shown with just a few exceptions.  First of all, I embossed the Shimmery White card stock backwards.  I’d like to say I did it on purpose, but….well….you know how it goes!  So I just went with it.  The funniest part of this story is that my embossing folder had been used repeatedly with Versamark and glitter – which wasn’t completely cleaned off – so it left a beautiful soft glitter/sparkle all over the front of the card!  Love it when that happens!!

I really like how soft this card looks – though I’m not sure I can recreate the sparkle again.  Hugs, Fran

Snapshot 01

Snapshot (133812) is a single stamp on page 167 of the catalog.  I paired it up with the On Film framelit and some of the Essential Wooden Elements.  I used Stazon to stamp on the word bubble.  Hint – use a tiny bit of adhesive to stick the wooden element to your grid paper.  Then you can use your Stamp a Ma Jig to place the words on it without it moving.

I stamped the camera twice and fussy cut the center piece to pop it up.

Hot Diggity Dog 02

This is a semi – case card from page 109 of the catalog.  That card features Just Sayin’ – I mixed it up by featuring Hot Diggity Dog instead.  Instead of embossing the card front, I used a separate layer (5 1/2 x 3 3/4) of Smokey Slate, embossed it and adhered it to the front.  I tried a Whisper White circle for the little puppy but ended up using Crushed Curry for more color.

This color combo makes me happy!  Hugs, Fran

Well Worded 01

 

Well Worded has a cute mustache and a framelit to match!  I wrote the sentiment out in My Digital Studio, leaving a space for the mustache, and added to the front of this 5 x 5 card.
