Party This Way
There are several sets in the Sale a bration catalog from the Idea Book and Catalog - and you can get them free with a $50 product order! One of them is Party This Way - a favorite of mine! (You may hear this a few more times from me because several of my favorites made the SAB mini!) Here's a 3 x 6 using Party This Way -
I made a mask out of a Post It note and stamped the front of the card with lots of balloons. On a separate piece of Whisper White, I stamped more balloons and cut them out. Before I adhered them with Dimensionals, I drew the lines for the strings. Then I added a few popped up balloons.

Love You 24/7
Here's a 3 x 6 Valentine using Pretty Postage. I love how these stamps work with the 1" square punch and the postage stamp punch - it just makes things so much easier. For this card I masked off the 24/7 with tape until the last heart - little tiny pieces of tape!

You're a Hoot
I saw these owls on Creating the Hive attributed to Kerry's Paper Crafts. They are created using the Big Shot Pillow Box die. Aren't they cute? I couldn't resist having them hold a paper chain of hearts!
I tried two different ways to do the "feathers" on the owls. The one of the left (Melon Mambo) uses the 3/4" circle punch to make the feathers. Each one is attached separately The one on the right (Pumpkin Pie) uses the Big Shot Tasteful Trim die. Can you see the difference?

Etc - Big Shot Pillow Box die, Tasteful Trim/3/4" circle punch, 1" and 3/4" circle punches, Trio Heart punch, Oval punch, Basic Rhinestones
So while I was playing around I decided to see if this little guy could be used as a party favor for my daughter's graduation this spring -

The Gnome
I have to admit it - I wasn't thrilled with the little gnome set. (Don't tell!) But I earned it for free and was bound and determined not to let it collect dust! And I was wrong! (Don't tell that either - especially to my kids!) It's darling! I am guilty of sometimes getting my mind set stuck somewhere it shouldn't be. So I challenged myself to create a card with the gnome and here it is -
The lantern and mushrooms are popped up to give dimension.
Supplies
Stamp Set - Gnome Sweet Gnome
card stock - Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, watercolor paper, Paisley Petals DSP
Ink - Jet Black Stazon, Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, More Mustard, Blush Blossom
Etc - Square Lattice embossing folder, Designer Label punch, Old Olive brad, Scallop Circles #2 die, Circle Cutter, 2 1/2 circle punch

Upsy Daisy Flip
I'm interrupting the sneak peeks to share a sample I did for a friend who's daughter is getting married this summer. She (the bride) wants a card for her "save the date" magnets. I have to say, I think these magnets are very cool - stick it on my refrigerator and then it's in front of me all the time and maybe I'll remember! She wanted lots of color and something fun so I made a flip-flop card. Her colors are red/turquoise - we're still working on those - so for the sample I used Cherry Cobbler and Baja Breeze.
Open it and the magnet will fit in the center-
(That last picture is kind of wonky!)
Supplies
Stamp Sets- Upsy Daisy, Together Forever (retired)
card stock - Cherry Cobbler, Baja Breeze, Rich Regals and Soft Subtles Patterns packs, Whisper White
Ink - Baja Breeze, Versamark
Etc- Daisy #2 die, Bird punch, Cherry Cobbler seam Binding, Hemp Twine, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, 3/4" circle punch, Black embossing powder
Once she makes some decisions, I'll share some of the other samples. Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

Soft and Fresh
But it didn't photograph very well. This is a 3 x 6 card made with the upcoming Sale a bration set Fresh Vintage. I realized after I had made it that the embosslit is retired. I stamped the floral image in Whisper White and then stamped over it - slightly off (yes, I meant to do that) in Early Espresso. In real life, it's not so blurry - promise!
Supplies
Stamp Set - Fresh Vintage, Elementary Elegance (SAB sets)
card stock - Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Ink - Craft Whisper White, Early Espresso
Etc - Simple Flower embosslit (retired), 1/8 Very Vanilla taffeta,
It's funny how I look at the photo as I'm putting it up and start thinking about how I would change it! Enjoy - Hugs, Fran

Soft Support
I found a card on Stampin Connections by Yvette Ashe that I love - love the set, love the colors, love the layout. So I cased it! I changed just a few small things - added a butterfly, added some Attic Boutique DSP and some color - but kept everything else.
Supplies
Stamp Sets - Rue des Fleur, Tiny Tags
card stock - Whisper White, Pool Party, Attic Boutique DSP
Ink - Soft Suede
Stampin Write Marker - Pool Party
Etc - Adorning Accents Labels Framelits, Pool Party seam binding, Embosslit Beautiful Wings, 3/4" circle punch, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Basic pearls
The consensus is that Rue des Fleur means "Street of Flowers." Thanks to Melannie and Shannon who sent me translations. Believe it or not, I'm actually taking a beginning French class so you may see a few french sentiments in the future. Samantha is in AP French 5 so I occasionally buy sets in french for her. (I just can't read them!) Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
