Stamp Off Butterfly Basics Framed

Greetings and welcome to the Stamp Off Challenge

with Buffy, Susan and Jackie.  We're here every Friday,

for your stampin pleasure.

 This week we are featuring a Frame It Challenge.

We need to somehow, use a frame on our project.

 Stampin' Up features Framelits that work well for

creating frames on page 214.

  I love frames on cards, but found this challenge

easier said than done.  I'm a CAS stamper, with a bit

of OCD thrown in, so I have difficulty with things

that aren't real "organized".  In this example, I used

a Copper frame, from the Layering Squares Framelits.

I framed the buttterfly from Butterfly Basics on page 149.

I embossed the Tranquil Tide layer with the

Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing

Folder on page 211 with Copper Embossing Powder.

I like the irregular spatters of embossing powder,

surrounding the butterfly!

Now,  please click on over to see what Buffy and Susan

have done with their frames.

Colorful Seasons with Daisy Sun

If you haven't gotten the Colorful Seasons set (on page 224)

with the coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlits (p 216),

you should!  I think that this is the most flexible,

delightful bundle in the 2017-18 catalog.  It literally

works for every single season.

In this example, I used Work of Art, on page 151,

to create the sand.  I added the "ENJOY" sentiment from

Thoughtful Banners on page 66.  Can you figure out what

I made the sun out of??  That's the Daisy punch

on page 206.  I just ran it through a circle die, to cut

off the petals.  I thought that the Daisy worked

pretty well for a sun!

Happy Birthday Thinlits Die

It is the day before Independence Day, but I did not

create a standard 4th of July card.  I think that

this card has some of those elements, with the little

"Oh My Stars" impressions from the Textured

Impressions Embossing Folder on page 210.

They look like little explosions.

I added 3 "Happys" from the new Happy Birthday 

Thinlits Die on page 213.  I like the fact that these

words can be used individually, so that this Die does

not have to be used for just Birthdays.
