Use the {Frame}

I don't know about you but I don't like to let anything go to waste. As I was cutting out all of the die cuts for the class I am teaching tomorrow, I realized there would be a lot of frames wasted. Oh my! So, today I want to show you how to use those frames instead of throwing them away. First, here is a look at the frames left over from the Poppystamps Splendor Frame that I will use in class tomorrow:

 

I decided to recyle the frame and create a card with it. Here is how the card turned out:

Memory Box Papers:  meadow nc, mocha cs (for rosette), Pixie, and Bubblegum gingham
Stamp Ink:  Jenni Bowlin brown sugar
Stamp:  Memory Box Very Best B1359
Embellishments: Poppystamps Splendor Frame die, Memory Box gothic rosette and center die, Paper Trey Ink button and twine, Deluxe Designs chipboard flower, Jenni Bowlin stick candy acrylic paint

I inked the inside and outside edges of the frame so that it would stand out a bit against the Memory Box Pixie paper and the notecard. I layered the Pixie paper behind the frame and placed the entire layered piece on the meadow notecard. Then I added a few embellishments to finish with the Memory Box Very Best {B1359} sentiment stamp. Super quick, and the frame has been saved. Everyone in class will actually get the frame with their card supplies so that they can create another card at home. I just couldn't throw all of those frames away!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy today's card!

Die Cut Card

First, if you remember from my last post, I asked you to guess which stamp I used with the VersaMark on the kraft card. A couple of you guessed the Damask Heart stamp, and that was correct! Great job, and thanks for playing along for fun!

Now for today, I felt like playing with die cuts. I used a die cut for the cardbase, a die cut for the butterfly, sewing, and punches. Here is how my card turned out.

Memory Box Papers: licorice cs, key lime dots, pool gingham, squash gingham, cranberry dots, mango distressed dots
Stamps:  Memory Box Let's Catch Up B883
Stamp Ink:  Colorbox frost white
Memory Box Dies: scalloped frame 98247, moonlight butterfly 98260
Embellishments: Stickles diamond, Creative Memories hexagon punch, sewing machine

To create (note, click the photo to enlarge and see closely):

1.  Using the Memory Box scalloped frame die {98247}, cut your cardbase out of Memory Box licorice cardstock. Score in half and fold.

2.  Using either a circle punch or a hexagon punch, punch 3 larger shapes and 2 smaller shapes out of Memory Box key lime dots, pool gingham, squash gingham, cranberry dots, and mango distressed dots.

3.  Attach to card as desired, and sew around the card and through the shapes.

4.  Cut two butterflies from the Memory Box Moonlight Butterfly {98260} die using Memory Box licorice cs and cranberry dots with the die.

5.  Layer the black butterfly on the back of the red butterfly allowing a little bit of the black to show. Place the black body on top.

6.  Fill the dots on the butterfly with Stickles diamond.

7.  Use pop dots to attach the butterfly to your card.

8.  Stamp the sentiment using white ink on licorice cs.

9.  Attach sentiment to card to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this quick card. Thanks for stopping by!

January Class {Card 4}

Okay, I hope you are not sick of the class cards yet. :) This is the last one to share with you! This will be the 4th card we make in the class I am teaching on January 28th. If you missed my post with the class information, see this post here. And here is card number 4:

Can you see a hint of a new stamp done in VersaMark on the top part of the card? It's easier to see in person. Can you guess which new stamp it is?  I will give you a hint--it's from the new Love & Kindness Collection. Guess in the comment section, and I will reveal in my next post. :)  Have fun guessing, and I hope to see some of you on January 28th. Blessings,
