Riley and Company Stamptember

Here it is – the Stamptember release from Riley and Company!

It’s Riley and Simon send lots of cute messages to you! I stenciled the background with the Simon Says Stamp Medium Dots stencil. The red rectangle is Karen Burniston’s Crosshatch Rectangle and has a scene using the Nature Edges.

The image was colored with Copics and the sentiment was heat embossed onto the “chalkboard.”

Then I decided to do a tag starting with the Karen Burniston Tag Book and Autumn Edges. I used the same stencil and colored the image with Copics.

Remember these are a limited time offering and when they are gone, they are gone! Hugs, Fran

Tag Book Challenge and Some Foiling

Cards
2 Comments

Today is the Design Team challenge at Karen Burniston – and the challenge is to use any of the Tag Book dies. Here’s what I came up with –

I used the Tag Book and Flower Pivot Panels to make my card. The background is foiled using the Flower Pattern Plate and gold foil.

Inside is the Flower Pivot Panel. To make the panel, I started with white card stock and stenciled a few clouds. Then I die cut the panel in green, ran it through my machine again with the Nature Edges die and attached the two together.

Close up of the foiling.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this challenge card. Make sure to check out all the Design Team’s cards and, as always, Karen’s card will be posted on Wednesday . Hugs, Fran

I love the Tag Book die! For this card I used it to make a Valentine.

I used the Karen Burniston Love die on a Honey Bee Stamps Heart and Scallop Heart die.

Inside I used the KB Heart Pivot die! Super fun!

It’s fun and uses some different Valentine colors. Hope you enjoy! Hugs, Fran

KB Tag Book

It’s challenge time and it couldn’t be sweeter! I started my baby card with he Karen Burniston Tag Book die and the Mama Elephant Little Bear Agenda stamp set. After digging through my stash of paper, I added the two bears holding a heart (colored with Copic markers) and adhered them to a vellum heart. The sentiment is the KB You’re Sweet cut in half, leaving just the “Sweet.” “Baby” comes from the Baby Charm die set.

Inside the bears are celebrating! I added the Baby Charms and then filled the frames with bears:) So fun!

Here’s the left side close up. Bears are adhered to the top and bottom supports too.

And here’s a close -up of the right side. The back of the card has a nice, white piece for writing a message. The “boy” uses the B and Y from Baby and a circle punch to make the O. Check out the rest of team’s take on this sweet challenge! Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston Design Team December Challenge

My inky creation for this month’s KB Design Team Challenge is features the Karen Burniston Tag Book and the Merry Christmas word die.  The little snowmen are from the Mama Elephant Snowman Agenda.  I used Distressed Oxides to make the snowy background.

Inside the snowmen are playing across the Tag Book!

Here’s a close up of them.  I added a few on the outside edges and the hinges.

It’s such a great die!  While this one can be mailed, I’m tying it to a package.  Make sure to check out all the design team’s cards tomorrow on Karen’s blog!  Hugs, Fran

 

Crazy 4 Challenges Grandparents Day

KB Tag Book
1 Comment

This weeks challenge with the Crazy 4 Challenges group is to celebrate Grandparents Day tomorrow.  Who knew?  I made a birthday card for my dad using the Karen Burniston Tag Book and Hello Bluebird’s stamp set, Farmyard Little Bits.  I also used the Karen Burniston Outdoor Scenes (trees) and Tropical Scenes (sun) dies.  The sentiment is a retired Stamp Up set.

First you need to know that we have a farm raising Black Angus cattle, so all the little dairy cows have been colored to be black angus!  I’ve attached cows to the main part of the Tag Book die and all along the supports.  There are even a cow and sun attached to the backing.  Happy Grandparents (birthday) Grandfather!  Check out all the designs by the Crazies!  Hugs, Fran

Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge for February – Castles

3-D, box, Challenges, KB Castle Pop Up, KB Knight and Dragon, KB Outdoor Scene, KB Princess and Mermaid, KB Tag Book, KB Word Set - Royalty
Comments

This month’s Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge is Castles featuring Karen’s new Castle Pop Up die.  I made some boxes and tags with the Castle die, Princess and Mermaid die, Knight and Dragon die and the Word set die 5 – Royalty.  This tag uses the Castle die in Smoky Slate, Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo.  The sky was done with Distress Oxide inks and the grass is Pear Pizzaz.  The little princess wears a Pool Party dress embellished with some Dazzling Diamonds. (Sounds like we’re at the Oscars!)  The tag itself is from the Karen Burniston Tag Book. I just used the Castle die flat – no score lines – across the tag.

Every Princess needs a box for their gift!  Here I used the Castle die flat across a box.  I finished it off with some birds from the Karen Burniston Outdoor Scene die.  It took me 3 1/2 castle strips to do this box.  (A retired SU box – any box would work.)  I tied it off with some pink ribbon from my stash.

Now for your little Knight –

This was done the same way as the Princess tag using Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Smoky Slate.  I added some Glossy Accents to his shield.

For his box I added the cute, cute dragon in Daffodil Delight!

So there’s the Castle die used flat!  Check out all the other designers and see what they’ve done with the Castle!  Hugs, Fran

Happy Winter Tag Book Tag

Christmas, Holiday Mini, KB Snowman Twist Circle, KB Tag Book, Snowflake Sentiment
Comments

Oh goodness, I’ve been gone for a long time!  So here you go – a post and an explanation!  This cute card uses Karen Burniston’s new Tag Book die turned so that it’s a vertical tag.  I used Stampin Up’s the beautiful Year of Cheer DSP adhered to the retired brushed gold card stock,  along with a Gold foil snowflake and the Snowflake Sentiment stamp set to decorate the front.  After covering the front of the Tag Book with the DSP, I added a foil snowflake, gold thread, then a white Glimmer paper snowflake, and a silver Faceted Gem.  The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder, then punched out with the Everyday Label punch.  The top is tied off with the Gold Metallic Edge ribbon. Sparkle!

 

The Tag Book drops open (like a tag!)  I’ve die cut the center of the two little squares and used the trim piece to sandwich the snowflake from the KB Charm set on a piece of clear fishing string and finished the inside off with a snowman from her Snowman Twist Circle die.  To make his little scarf, I die cut the hat band 4 times and pieced it together.  The die cut words are from the Winter Words die. The tag is finished off with a loop of gold floss that is long enough to go through both top circles on the closed tag so you can hang it on your package.

Here’s a close up of the details and also a better idea of the actual color!  All the sparkle was really keeping it from photographing correctly 🙂

If you’re still reading, my mother has been sick and I am taking this time to spend it with her.  I will continue to post here but it will be sporadic.  Thanks for understanding and I hope you’ll continue to check back.  Hugs always, Fran
