Another Funky Fold

Ok, this one also was shown in the Stampin' Success and this one was another Honorable Mention.  Congrats to Diane Vander Galien on this beauty. Because we did one like this in my Funky Folds class I knew how to do it. It is a bit tricky however. I used the Baja Breeze and the matching DSP Twitterpated.

Happiest Birthday!

I cased a Saleabration card for this one. I changed the DSP to current and Voila! A quick and easy birthday card. It would also be easy to make it masculine by changing the flower to eyelets or brads.

3-D Gift

I love making little gifts for my friends and surprising them with the little things. After all, isn't the little things that endear people to us? So, I made this little cuties using one of the great framelits. Now I saw the idea elsewhere? and don't remember where (sorry). But, I made a few changes to make it my own. I added the smarties candies into one of the great 1" mini bags that Stampin' UP! offered. It turned out really cute!

Inspiration from the Mini

The mini cover was the inspiration for this card and I wanted to use one the stick pins or hat pins so this is what I came up with. It is very similar the the one on the front but does have a few changes. This was actually the 1st card I made using the framelits and after I went to Leadership and learned a trick or 2 I came home and made a whole bunch more. The colors on this are Baja Breeze, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White.

Happiness Always

Although I named the blog for the stamp sentiment it actually comes from the set Happy Greetings. I cased this card from somewhere making a few changes to make it mine. Then I realized it was smaller than I expected and found out that if you used the largest framelit label it will still fit in an A-2 envelope. So, live and learn. It still made a great card. With the set Apothecary Art and the wonderful ribbon and sponging I think it is simply sweet.

One More Apothecary Art card

You might get tired of this set but I am hoping you will love it so much that you will just have to have one for yourself! Once again I used the Twitterpated DSP and the colors were inspired from it. The little bow is a fork bow. Intriqued? Leave me a comment and I will send you the directions to make one. Yes, you use a fork!

Apothecary Art

I have seen so many beautiful samples made using this set. I will be showing stamps from it on a couple of upcoming cards including this one and I am sure I will have lots more to show after Leadership! For my colors I looked to the DSP called Twitterpated. I love the colors in it...Island Indigo, Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red and Whisper White. Note to pleated ribbon and do you see the new shape? Yes, Stampin' Up! has jumped into the framelits craze!
