Lattice Framed Art

Well I am finally getting around to posting my latest framed art. It features the new Lattice Sizzix die. 

When I saw this die, I knew I just had to have it. It is one of my favorite things from the new catalog. 

I also used a few other new items. The Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper, For All You Do  stamp set, Rich Razzleberry card stock and ink .

 If you would like to learn how to create framed art consider taking my Framed Art Class being offered on  August 16. Contact me for more information or to reserve your spot in the class.

I made one like this for my friend Debbie for her birthday. 

Happy Birthday Debbie!

Tall Tales Framed Art

I LOvE making framed art. It makes such a perfect gift to give a friend or two.

This particular Framed Art was made from Tall Tale Designer Series Paper. 

I was inspired by one of the pieces and

 decided to make a smaller version to fit into this frame. I also used Chocolate Chip Pattern Designer Series Paper, Rose Red and Whisper White card stock.

I wanted the giraffe to look as if he was floating over the hills in his Hot Air Balloon, so I layered the pieces using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

Stampin' Up! has a new stamp set called Animal Stories that features a giraffe just like this one, but about 2 1/2" tall.

If you would like to see what other new stamp sets are available in the new 2009-10 Idea Book & Catalog, go to my website www.ginascardsandmore.stampinup.net and click on contact me. Fill out the online form and I will send you a catalog.

Pink Flamingo Framed Art

Happy Birthday Fairle!

Fairle was one of the Birthday girls on Saturday. 

Earlier in the week, I had asked her what she wanted for her birthday. 

She told me all she wanted was something/ some kind of art made with Pink Flamingo  Designer Series Paper.

 

This is what I came up with. 

I used markers to ink up these words from the All Holiday stamp set. 

I cut and layered the different pieces. 

Then using the 5/8" Real Red Grosgrain ribbon and new grommets I completed my gift.

Rooster Coaster Framed Art

Here is another of my coaster framed art.The Rustic Rooster stamp set is a Level 2 Hostess set. 

It comes with a Rooster that I stamped in Close to Cocoa Classic ink then used the following Stampin' Markers:

Old Olive for blades of grass

Ruby Red  for the rooster's comb and wattle

Pumpkin Pie for feet and beak

The stamp set also includes a french script stamp. 

But the script is not big enough to cover the entire coaster so I have decide to cover it with the En Français background stamp stamped in Sahara Sand Classic Ink.

 

I finished up the coaster by sponging some Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel Classic Ink around the edge. 

I punch holes in the corners with the Crop-a-dile and attached it to the window screen with some brads. I used a staple gun to staple the screen to the back of the wooden frame. 

This always makes a cute gift. This one is going to my friend Michelle, who is also one of my neighbors.

Sandals on the beach Frame

I have a friend who likes sandals, so I made this for a birthday gift to her. 

Once again I used the Sizzix Petal Card Die Cut. I cut the left and right flaps off to make the sandals. Add a little ribbon and a rhinestone brad and VOILA .... we have sandals. 

The background is done using Sandy Shells wheel(retired while supplies last), uniball gel pen and some watercolor pencils. Can't forget about the Crab from Crab & Co (retiring 1/18/09), he is stamped on a sheet of the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper.

Bon Appetit Coaster framed art

 I created another coaster framed art. I took an inexpensive frame purchase at Ikea. I removed the thin plexi-glass and attached some window screen. Took one of those paper coasters  stamped on an image, sponged the edges and punched holes in each corner(using the crop-a-dile). Then I attached it with black brads to the window screen. Making another cute gift idea. I made 2 of these. One will go to my neighbor Kris and the other is for a gift swap tonight at my upline meeting.
