We're also very excited to welcome two new DT members to WMS with this release - Joan Bardee and Sandie Dunn! You'll see their links below.
Today I'm using stamps from Frame It.
For my first card I stamped the frame that has a gap in the outline on one side just so you can stamp any one of the 18 different sentiments included with this fun set! Then I stamped the little tree 3 times in 3 different shades of blue inks. And to finish off this CAS design - I stamped the sympathy sentiment in the gap of the frame.
Here's a pic just to show you how I was able to stamp my trees evenly inside the box. I layed my little wooden ruler just below the frame - you can see that this frame measures 4" - I stamped my trees at 1", 2" and 3" lining up the trunks (you need to allow for the space that your acrylic block takes up when placing your ruler so I recommend lining things up with a clean non-inked stamp first!) This card is 5 1/4" x 3 3/8".
For my second card, I used the square frame outline stamp and the teacher sentiment. My apple comes from last year's set called Peace & Plenty.
I colored my apple with Copics, cut it out and adhered it in the center of the frame with foam dimensionals. So there you have 2 Clean and Simple cards using this fun new set - Frame It -All the sets in the October release will be available to purchase on Thurs 10/7/10
Now you'll want to check out the rest of the DT's peeks:
