Stampin with Framelits

Hi stampers!  Here we are at the start of another week and I'm behind as usual :-)  But getting a post up late is better than never I suppose!  I made this pillow box up a while back and never got around to sharing it.  I LOVE our little Kraft Pillow Boxes in the Annual Catalog, I mean you can't go wrong with kraft and polka dots!  All you have to do is fold them up and embellish them and you have the prefect gift card, treat, or trinket holder!

I did something a little odd here and I stamped with a framleit.  Say what?  Yup.  It wasn't perfect but I think it totally worked!  It's subtle but I like it that way.  I used one of our Uninked Spectrum Pads, which if you haven't tried out, are so cool!  You can make them in any spectrum you want with your ink refills!

My colors were Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, and Gorgeous Grape.  It's SUCH a fun and bright spectrum!  After I inked it up and stamped it, I cut it out by hand.  I layered it on some Glimmer Paper and added a few more accents and it was prefect!

Have you tried the pillow boxes yet?  And will you try stamping with dies?

Happy stamping!

Hi stampers!  So....I meant to post last night but I fell asleep, lol!  Sunday night, Ian decided to keep me up from 2am-5am or so and was up for the day jumping on my bed, at 6!  His allergies have been bothering him and he has a cough but he only coughs when he's awake so I guess he woke up and decided it was time to get up since he couldn't settle down with the coughing.  It. Was. Brutal.  LOL! Thankfully he slept all night last night as did I!  So, I'll share this card now, better late than never!

I used my markers a month or two ago on some watercolor paper and blended them together with an aquapainter.  And then I didn't really like it and it sat on my desk.  I finally decided to cut it out with the Celebrate You Thinlits though which totally worked!  If I use thicker paper I have to run my dies through the machine a few times to get them to cut clean through so I only ran this once so that it would keep the cut outs.  Sometimes I like that look!

The "you" is from Thoughtful Banners and I added a few white sequins over the embossed ones for a bit of interest.

Hope you like it!  Hopefully I'll get another post done for tomorrow since I'm not surviving on caffeine and crabbiness today, lol! ;-)

Happy stamping!
