Decorative Frames

Welcome to Day 3 of Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Feature Blog Hops for the month of August!  Today we're featuring a wonderful new set that coordinates with one of our existing die sets, Decorative Plaques...a perfect match!

Today's feature is:

Decorative Frames

• Stamp set includes 8 images and 12 sentiments
• Set measures approximately 6" x 8"
• The top left image measures approximately 2 3/8" x 2 5/8"
• Designed by Korin Sutherland
• Stamp set is priced at $26
• Coordinates with Decorative Plaques Dies

Here is my first sample made with the Decorative Frames stamp set:

Creative Nugget:  The inspiration for this card came from the Featured Stamper Challenge on Splitcoaststampers yesterday.  I chose to CASE Joyce's His & Hers card, but used one of the Decorative Frames with the ewe from Prim Blessings as the main focal point. The ewe was stamped once on the frame and once on a piece of scrap Solar Crest paper.  Copics were used to color both images. The head of the second image was cut out and popped up on the frame image.  Some fun flock was added to the wool on the top of the head.  The Fancy Pants DP panels were stitched to a True Black mat and mounted to a Solar Crest card base.  Part of the sentiment from the Decorative Frames stamp set was stamped in Real Red under the ewe, and part was stamped directly on the DP in Versafine Onyx Black.  A Doily Border Die, pearls, a heart button, and some stick were added to finish the card.

What I love about the Decorative Frames is that you can use them to make whimsical cards or more elegant ones!  Here is my second sample:

Creative Nugget:  The background was made by using a brayer to apply So Saffron Ink to the inside front of the embossing folder before putting it through the Big Shot.  This gave a subtle color to the debossed areas.  A Decorative Plaque was cut with the die and stamped with the matching Decorative Frame in Smokey Shadow ink.  To get the words straight, they were all placed on the block at the same time.  The topper was stamped with Soft Sky ink and pearls were added.  The Authentique papers were stitched to Smokey Shadow card stock and mounted to a Solar Crest card base.  Embellishments were added to finish the card.  I like how this one turned out and hope you do, too!
