I was stamping  with the Bordering on Romance stamp set that is in the Occasions Mini Catalog and wondered if one of the images would fit in the Designer Frames TIEF.   Yup, it sure does.  This made me think of using this technique and the rest resulted in this card.

Sorry it is not a better picture. Here's a close up of the frame.

Here's what I used to make this card.

Stamps: Bordering on Romance, Tiny Tags
Ink: Black Stazon
Paper: Shimmery White, Marina Mist, Whisper White
Big Shot: Designer Frames TIEF, Elegant Bouquet TIEF
Extras: Marina Mist Grosgrain Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Watercolor Crayons, Aqua Painter 

Did you know that you can get the Designer Frames TIEF for free?  It is one of the products you can choose from and receive free when you place a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration.  You can also choose the Stripes TIEF  and combine it with the Designer Frames TIEF.  Click here to see what the two Textured Impressions Embossing Folders(TIEF)  look like combined.   If you do not have a Sale-A-Bration brochure feel free to contact me and I will get one sent to you.  Have a fabulous day!

Geez, you would think I had forgotten that I even had a blog! I am sorry to have disappeared for a few days.  We had a wonderful weekend.  It was a perfect balance of fun and taking care of some business.   Today I sat down and got some stamping done for a swap and also to get this idea out of my head and onto paper.

I have a little sneak peek for you while I am working on getting more Christmas ideas ready for you.  The new Occasions Mini Catalog (starts January 4th 2012) is full of really cool products especially if you are a lover of all things Big Shot.    Be sure to ask Santa for a Stampin' Up! gift certificate so you will be all ready to purchase these great items when the Mini Catalog goes live on January 4th!  

I love the new Framelits dies!  This one is part of the Labels Collection and yes I said a part!  There are different label sizes, 6 to be exact and oh the possibilities!    It was quick and fun to color these flowers from the Bordering on Romance set and  soon I will show you how some of the images in this set coordinate with more of the new Big Shot goodies.   Yes, I am excited and looking forward to sharing more sneak peeks with you .
