Good morning! In today's video, I show you how to adapt the popular and versatile
frame in the Fabulous Frame stamp set to square cards, so many more options for
your layouts!
I also share how to customize one piece of patterned paper to look like several different coordinating patterns with your colored markers. (The new GKD Ang & Me pack has some great patterns for faux paper piecing!)
Pair this technique with the frame and you have a paper pieced look without all the cutting and layering. (I forgot to say in the video, be sure to save the side you cut off to add to another project!)
Finally, add
some butterflies with the coordinating Silhouette Studio cut file (free for a limited time on the StampTV Freebies page, we extended because of the backorder! :). You must be a StampTV member to download the file, but signing up is free. Supply list for card at end of post.

Wonderful video! Never would have thought to cut the frame to make a smaller card. Is there a tip sheet for Bring the Bling?

Bright bold and beautiful and love that you can use parts separately too and have great designs.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Verna! I forgot to say be sure to save that scrap I cut off the side for another project, too, hopefully you saw that :)
DeleteExcellant! So nice seeing more ways out of the ordinary to use this set. I hope mine comes soon!
ReplyDeleteI was happy when that idea popped out at me, too :)
DeleteI always laugh when I watch your videos. Not in a funny ha ha way, in a shaking my head, laughing, they're always so beautiful - but in this case astonishingly easy way. Thanks, Melanie.
