Peace and Joy Frames

Greetings!
I bought this "Peace & Joy & Love & Cheer" Big Shot die right away with the intention of making some framed art. I'm totally smitten with this die!! I purchased frames in all shapes and sizes but these long frames are definitely my favorite.

Frame 1: I really like the white text on red card stock. You may not be able to see the wheeled background on the red background...it's done with the Jumbo So Swirly wheel and a red ink cartridge. I saw THIS beautiful card by alystamps on Splitcoaststampers and loved the hanging ornaments so I included them on the red frame. The ornaments are embossed with white Embossing Powder and then popped up with a stampin' dimensional.

Frame 2: Then I found THIS gorgeous frame by JanTink (Jan Tinklenberg) on her awesome blog and I knew I was hooked. Her frame is more embellished and absolutely beautiful!! I loved the little white dots on her letters so I just had to add those little doodles.
I just may have to stock up on some more of these frames and make some early Christmas gifts!

Thanks for stopping by!
Julie

Name Frame

Greetings!
Just wanted to share with you one of my favorite projects...Name Frames.
I've held Name Frame workshops over the past couple of years and they are always a popular class! These frames make such beautiful gifts and we all have so much fun personalizing our frames.
All of the workshop attendees choose their card stock colors ahead of time so that is everything is cut and ready when they arrive for class. Then it's their turn to get creative and complete their personalized projects:-)
My tables are stocked with stamp sets, ink and embellishments. The girls can pick and choose what they would like to use to complete their frames. Some girls choose to stamp words like "family", "dance", "believe", "cherish", etc... instead of actual names. All of the projects are truly individual works of art!
It's also a chance for me to pull out all of those retired sets - I still love the "Letterpress and Headline" alphabet sets (retired) and we always use those for the Name Frame Workshops.
I won't list all of the supplies but I will say that it's a great time to pull out all of those retired stamp sets that are gathering dust in my cupboards!!
Have a great day,
Julie
