Creating backgrounds with a small stamp

Hello friends!

I'm so happy to be back on the blog to share with you fun ways to use the new Frame Art stamp set.


This stamp set has a coordinating die and which will give your those beautiful diecut frames perfect to accommodate the beautiful flowers and oranges from the stamp set. Today I wanted to show you some fun ideas to get more use out of this stamp set.





For my first and second projects I started out by creating a colorful background with the small solid stamp from the stamp set. I stamped this image several times on a 2 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches piece of white cardstock. I used Cherry Blossom, Sunkissed, Mimosa, Peach Fuzz and Apricot for the background and I made sure to blend the colors on the stamp with a blending brush each time I inked it up. 



Once the background was complete I run a strip of white cardstock through my Betterpress System using the Decorative Frames press plate. I also dry emboosed the Print Shop Modern Botanicals onto an A2 notecard, glued to my cardbase and foam mounted texture strip alongside my background gluing  it onto the left hand side of my A2 side folding white cardbase.


To decorate this card I added foil to the Print Shop Modern Botannicals Press Plate and colored these beautiful flowers with the coordinating stencil using Cherry Blossom, Sunkissed, Mimosa, Sweet Mustard, Eucalyptus, Grassy Knoll and Olive.

The sentiment is from the Here for you sentiment stamp set.


For my second project I repeated the process using monochromatic colors. I used Cherry Blossom, Begonia and Candy Apple for my background and for the flowers and Eucalyptus, Grassy Knoll and Olive for the leaves.


This time I created a landscape card. I cut out my background with the Blanket Stitched Rectangle die set and adhered it to my cardbase. I created a texture strip as on my previous project and foam mounted it onto the edge of my background creating the perfect spot for my sentiment. 

To decorate the upper part of my background I also used the Print Shop Modern botanical flowers  and added some additional flowers white heat embossed on vellum.

For my final project I used the smallest of the Frame Art frame dies to create my background:


I started out by cutting out four frames. I placed them on my misti and stamped each diecut mixing Cherry Blossom and Sunkissed. Once I colored my frames I adhered them to an 4 by 5 1/4 inch note card. I created to strips using Spellbinders Porcelain Cardstock and the Decorative Frames Press Plate. I foam mounted these strips onto my stamped background, one horizontally and the other one vertically.

I trimmed the excess of the frames until my notecard was 4 by 5 1/4 inches. To add some texture, I dried embossed the Decorative Frames Press plate onto an A2 Porcelain cardstock panel and adhered my background on top.


Next up I gold heat embossed the oranges from the Frame Art Stamp set and colored them with the coordinating stencils using Sunkissed, Mimosa, Begonia, Grassy Knoll, Olive and Eucalyptus.

I die cut these oranges and foam mounted them alongside onto my background . I added some small white heat embossed vellum flowers and added my sentiment from the Kindness in Bloom stamp set..


 I hope these ideas inspire you and thank you so much for stopping by!

See you soon,

 

Raquel
