Floating Frames

Floating Frames is this month's Group of Seven Cardmakers theme. I hope you visit and see the fun frames all the ladies created. And, I hope you make some of your own and post them.

I used a flower die that I colored with Copics and cut many times. Using foam tape on the backs of the flowers and leaves I popped them up along the card panel to make the floating frame. The center is a sentiment stamped on white cardstock and glued directly on the card panel.

On the second card I cut eggs from yellow, green, blue and pink cardstock and stamped a sentiment on the front of a pink egg I die cut. The pink egg was glued to the card panel like the first card. When I designed the colored eggs around the frame it looked so bland. I went back to my supplies and this is where I went a bit off the chart. I had these colorful eggs and butterflies and they added so much color so I added foam tape to the back of them and used those for the floating frame. It is a card for my four year old granddaughter and I think she'll like it.

I know how it will end. One of my kids will unplug my life support system to charge their phone.

Be kind to one another.

I Cased

In a quest to get going again, I cased a card I made and loved a long time ago. I made variations of it and enjoyed it so much. I used an embossing folder with silver cardstock. I used leaves from two different companies and a milk can on one. I was so happy to be doing it.

I like the idea of keeping your mouth shut but it's not for me.

Be kind to one another.

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope you all have a wonderful day no matter what you do. The sun finally came out even though it is still cold but the sun makes everything better.

I'm sharing a card made a while ago since I haven't been in the card making mode for so long. I'm behind on everything so I'm starting with the next group of birthdays to make cards. Thanks for still being here and I hope to do better.

That awkward moment when you are wearing Nikes and you can't do it.

Be kind to one another.
