fabulous frames....

Get ready for a fun, trendy, versatile, and must-have new stamp set from Papertrey Ink called Fabulous Frames.  I have learned that this set will be one I cannot put down, will want to use on everything, and will most certainly wear right out.  This set and all of the other new release items will be available for purchase July 15th, 10PM EST.

My first project uses the stamp set and coordinating dies on a card with the frame embossed in gold.  The frame die actually cuts several pieces that can be used together or separately and are so much fun to layer.  I used the center portion as my focal point and added a sentiment stamped using the Gratitude Journal set and the Modern Alphabet Upper die cut from Classic Kraft and Melon Berry felt.  These little letters are darling cut from felt!

Loving metallic embossing powder!  The tab die was also stamped using an image from the Fabulous Frames set and also the new Framed Out #6 set.

To add some softness, I matted the frame onto vellum and loved how it helped the sentiment stand out a bit.

My next project uses the Fabulous Frames stamps and dies on a little mini book created  using the Library Card Tag die.

You can see here the multiple layers of stamping available with this set.  I LOVE the chevron frame...especially stamped in pink!.  The hearts stamped throughout the mini book are from the new Shutterbug Special stamp set.

This frame was die cut from wood grain patterned paper and embossed using white embossing powder.  

Look at all of these fun images available in this set!  You are going to have so much fun.  The sentiments used here and on the next page are from the new Signature Greetings II stamp set.

I love all of the faces my Little Miss S. pulls as I try and capture a smile...I will take what I can get...even if it's a scrunched up nose, awkward smile, and squinty eyes...they all sum up her funny, little personality.

Lots of Freckled Fawn washi tape used on this, metal office clips, staples, mini Kraft bags, etc.

Can't wait to use this set again and again!

Thanks for visiting.  Be sure to stop by the blogs of the other designers for lots of inspiration!
