Happiest Birthday Wishes with Phrases & Frames

Wow, what a crazy storm last night. The lightning and thunder went on for hours lighting up the sky for miles. We were under a tornado warning here at my house like so many have been lately. While the power companies work to restore the outages I count us among the lucky. Since our internet just came back up I thought I’d share with you a fun card with a little extra ump today.

Clean and simple, this card uses a pattern from the Everyday Essentials Mix & Match Designer Series Paper (167702). The way this card uses this pattern it has a masculine feel to me, how about you? Done in Misty Moonlight and Pool Part the extra ump comes from the Phrases & Frames Impression Dies (167586).

This set of dies uses a fun Impressions Plate (167767) that really makes the special impressions dies pop! And the pop is built right in to them. When you use them as always the extra detail is subtle, but when you use them with the Impressions Plate, wow! You can sure see the difference.

I love layouts like this – clean and simple and the surprise is all the texture of this little die set. A card sure to please that special birthday boy.

So if you’re looking for something fun to add to your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and Dies this might be just the add on your looking for. Why not stop by my Online store and check it out today?

Phrases & Frames Fun Fold

Today’s card uses a fun fold and the Phrases & Frames Bundle (167587).

This particular card uses the frame not only to highlight the sentiment but also along the inside of the card panel in a tone on tone accent. I love the colors pulled from the Velvet Meadow Designer Series Paper (167904) on the front of the card. And how about the small details on the frame created with our NEW White Gel Pens (166642), fun right?

The largest frame has been cut down and placed back to back in order to add some fun texture.

Here are the Phrases & Frames Impression Dies (167586) so you can see the frame I’m referring too in the center right.

These frames are really quite cool since you can add the Impressions Plate (167767) when you die cut them and it gives them extra texture that really makes the details pop!

Here is a top view of the card so you can see the fun fold Ann created for this card.

This fun fold uses a 4 1/4″x 11″ piece of card stock as it’s base that has been scored at the 1 3/4″ and 5 1/2″ marks. The 1 3/4″ piece is folded back on it’s self. Then the 4 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece has been adhered to the that which is really quite cool since it mats the Lost Lagoon layered piece with the card base itself.

I can’t wait to try this fun fold myself.
