New Queen.. QFTD119

I made these two cards for our Queen this week!
Please come play along with the Queen for the Day Challenge here.

I tried to make this a masculine card.  Can be used for a few different occasions. 

I used the embossing frame (the back side) and put the puched sentiment with brads overtop.

I also used gray textured paper!

I cut the framelit shape into 3 sections and then embossed with the rose folder.  Then I spread out the sections a bit on the larger pink framelit.

I tried to make one of Mary's signature bows!  I folded the ribbon in 3 (like a z shape), opened the brad all the way and put it around the ribbon and squeezed shut.

3 Framelits - Masculine

Just wanted to share another card I made this morning.  I thought it turned out really well and was worthy of a blog post!

The challenge at Twisted Tuesdays was Red Hot Summer.

I used 3 framelit shapes (from Apothecary Accents) in two colors of red - Real Red and Cherry Cobbler.  I stamped the image and cut out with a circle die.  Added some twine and voila!  Really easy and I think makes a really super masculine card.  I always seem short of good masculine cards in my stash! 

Argyle Quilt Silhouette Shadow

I just love this stamp set - its so versatile to use with so many techniques!  And these framelits also!

The colors today at Splitcoast were Pool Party, Island Indigo and white.  I stamped the flower image twice in the lighter blue, then stamped overtop with the darker blue (slightly off).  So it gives a neat shadow look.

I was inspired by the challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  I punched some squares and embossed them onto my white paper with the argyle embossing folder.

I used a part of this apothecary framelit shape and layered it with a blue one.  At the bottom edge I put my dotted scallop ribbon punched border and some white ribbon.

Especially for You Leaves

I made this card for two challenges.

The colors are from Dynamic Duos - River Rock and Always Artichoke and I used Very Vanilla as a neutral.

The layout is from Just Add Ink.

I used "French Foliage" and "Made for You".

Did some ripping and used a piece of linen thread.

New Queen... QFTD118

I made these two cards for the Queen for the Day Challenge.

This first card uses "Serene Silhouettes".  I cut off the sides of the framelit.

This second card uses "Blooming with Kindness" and piercing!

 I hope you come take a look at the Queen for the Day Challenge and join us!

Layered Framelits

This card is for 2 challenges.

Layout at Freshly Made Sketches.  This first card shows without the banner.  The last card in this post shows with the banner added.  It adds a nice touch I think.

The colors are from Stampin' Royalty - Pool Party, More Mustard, Island Indigo and Old Olive.

I used old olive in the tree image.

I did a WHOOPS.  I reached for the wrong In Color blue.  I used Midnight Muse instead of Island Indigo, but since the colors are fairly similar, I thought I'd still post this.

I layered 3 framelits to make this fun frame

I used the Labels Collection for the image and the same size in blue and just offset behind.  Then I used two from the Apothecary Accents in More Mustard.  I cut one in half and put each half on either side of the long, narrow one.  I think this makes a stunning frame!

The framelits are so useful!

The images are from "Serene Silhouettes" and the "Easy Events".  I also used rhinestones and Midnight Muse ribbon and the argyle embossing folder.

Having lots of fun with new stuff!
