MERRY CHRISTMAS

Just a quick post to share another Christmas card I made using a new Frantic Stamper die called Stylish Merry Christmas die (FRA-DIE-10996) I also used the Dendrite Snowflakes die set (FRA-DIE-10918) and my "go to" for making slimline cards, the Slimline Frames (FRA-DIE-10918). This gorgeous specialty paper is by Lawn Fawn and called Pixie Dust Specialty Paper and has the most beautiful sparkle to it.

THE SECRET INGREDIENT

Hello everyone! Here with a new card to share using the new Frantic Stamper release.

I do lots of holiday baking so this little cookie sheet really called out to me! The die set also includes all of the little cookies as well. It's actually called Cookie Sheet (FRA-Die-10999). And if you are looking for any cooking sentiments, you have to check out the new clear stamp set called Cooking is Love (FRA-CL-139) it really includes some nice sentiments. I also used Cup of Cocoa (FRA-DIE-10321) from an earlier release. 

MISS YOU

SLIMLINE VILLAGE

Hello again!

Here to share a slimline card I made using dies from the most recent release of Frantic Stamper called Making a Scene. I love using stamps and dies to make cards but like to challenge myself to making things beside cards using the products too. Here, I used the Cloud Slimline Stencil (FRA-STN-045) for the cloudy sky, Slimline Grass & Hills Borders (FRA-DIE-10979), the Village Apartments (FRA-DIE-10988), Small Deciduous Trees (FRA-DIE-10985) and from a previous release, the Village Cottage (FRA-DIE-09547). This slimline village scene card looks perfect displayed in the frame. Don't you think so?

HALLOWEEN JARS

I have LOTS of trick-or-treaters every year that I pass out candy to. But each year I make something special to give to my granddaughters for their Halloween treat.  This year I decided to make decorated jars filled with Hershey Nuggets that I covered with Halloween themed paper.

The little jars are plastic and bought at Dollar Tree. I used a couple pieces of Halloween ribbon from Michael's and some twine. Tags were made using a retired stamp set called Sweet Hauntings by Stampin' UP! and covered with Distress Inks by Tim Holtz. 

SENDING HUGS

Hi everyone, here today to share my first card made using the new Frantic Stamper release called "Make a Scene". This release is definitely worth checking out! 

This card was made for my daughter in law, Kattaleeya, who's birthday is coming up on August 21st. I used Stampin Up card stock (Tempting Turquoise) and a layer of DP from my paper stash. The flowers were made using FS Bouquet Builder (FRA-DIE-10983) and Vases (FRA-DIE-10984). It was fun working with all of the little flowers.😁 Once the vase of flowers was in place I used the Stitched Chevron Die (FRA-DIE-10995) to fancy up the corners and a chosen greeting from Florals & Greetings (FRA-CL-172). You can check out the newest release here!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAT!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Here to share with you is a simple style birthday card. This would be great when you need a birthday card for a guy. 

This card was made using just two different dies from Frantic Stamper.

Lattice Oval Frame Die (FRA-DIE-09798) 

Happy Everything Word Dies (FRA-DIE-10966)

I plan on making several of these in different colors to have on hand. 😊

HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS

Hi everyone! Back again with a fun card I created for the Createful Heart Design team. I like the traditional "Christmas in July" theme for making cards in the month of July.

This image is called "Bear Buddies" and can be found here!  The shop for Createful Heart Design has moved from Zibbet to Etsy. Be sure to visit the above link to see the newest images Mary has done and see some of the classic images as well. She has closed the Zibbet shop and the images are only available through Etsy now.

I want to mention that this is a really easy, but nice, holiday card to make. It's a great card to make if you are planning on doing all of your cards the same for the holiday and it's NEVER too early to get started on your Christmas cards. 😊

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This is the card I designed for Createful Heart Design and made for my daughter's birthday. She LOVES these little vintage trailers so it was perfect.

Mary, from Createful Heart Design, has moved her shop from Zibbet to Etsy. She is in the process of moving all of her images over to Etsy. This image is called Home Sweet Home.

I hope you had a great birthday Jocelyn! 💗

HELLO

Here in New England the weather has turned to much warmer temperatures.  Ahhhh, warm weather is here and so is cooking on the grill. 

This is the card I designed for May at Createful Heart Design. The image is perfect for the season and is called "Backyard Grill".  This would be a great invitation card to send someone if you were having a backyard cookout. 😊 You can find this image, along with lots of other great images, in the Createful Heart Design shop by going here!  

CHEERS

The new release over at Frantic Stamper is now available so it's time to share my first card made using products from this release called "Positive Vibes".

I used a die called Cocktail Shakers (FRA-DIE-10968) and the word die called Script Cheers from (FRA-DIE-10969). 

I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. CHEERS!

APRIL SHOWERS

It's been said that April showers bring May flowers. With that being said, it's April and I wanted to share a card I made that makes me think of those April showers.

This cute little girl is by MFT and called My Umbrella. The sentiment is from a set called Sentiments by Hero Arts. The panels were cut using MFT Die-namics Pierced Rectangle STAX. Stampin' UP's Ruby Red card stock was used. The perfect DP was a gift and unmarked for who the manufacturer is. Copics were used for coloring the image and some bright yellow enamel dots added to finish my card off. 😊

GET WELL SOON

Here's a card that's bound to make you feel a bit better! It's a 5"x5" card that was made using more of Frantic Stampers dies and stamp set listed below.

Jumbo Bandage Die (FRA-DIE-10943)

Nurse's Gear Die set (FRA-DIE-10942)

Shake That Bug Stamp Set (FRA-CL-167)

I have been working like crazy lately on new cards for the design teams. Be on the lookout....I'll post as soon as the release opens up.  In the meantime, stay safe and be well.

HAPPY EASTER!

I'm sharing the Easter card and 2 gift card envelopes that I made for Easter this year.  I've been working on several cards for the Frantic Stamper new release that will be coming out on April 15th, so didn't get to make many Easter cards this year.

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

Until next time...

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!
