Paw Prints

I've been anxious to use this Reverse Paw Prints Border die ever since I received it and to be honest, I think it is one I will use over and over on any piece using a dog or cat.

Today, I am using a dog from a stamp set available at Frantic Stamper.  I colored the image with Copics and really, the coloring took me the longer to do than anything else on the card. 

I simply cut my white card stock on an angle and did the same with a patterned piece of paper.  I taped down the die so it followed the diagonal and ran it through the Big Shot.  I then taped the two pieces together on the back so I could get them lined up straight and glued down.

Christmas Trees (Marilyn Scheller, Guest Designer)

Christmas Trees

by Marilyn Scheller


I have an easy card project to show you today which works up super quickly.

First off, I took a piece of paper and ran it through my embosser using a snowy themed folder.  The lower edge was cut with a Martha Stewart border punch.  Using the FRA-Die-09629 Noel die, I cut one from the main paper and another from the background color and layered it in.  The trees are simply triangles (one was run through the crimper, the other using an embossing folder) cut from the same kraft paper with a few pearls added.  I sponged in a little Tim Holtz walnut stain on the edges and tied a piece of twine around it before gluing down.

You Are Awesome (Marilyn Scheller, Guest Designer)

You Are Awesome

by (Marilyn)


Hi there! 

Today is my first post as guest designer for Frantic Stamper and what a thrill to be asked to join this wonderful group.

For my card, I chose to use the 'awesome' die and I do have to say, I can see myself using this one over and over again because it is so versatile.

To begin with, I used the computer to generate the words 'you are' using the Mom's Typewriter font.  Then I cut a simple circle from my patterned paper and began layering cardstock with black, cream, dark grey and finally gluing down the designer paper.

I cut 'awesome' out twice, once on black card stock and then again with the cream, layering them together and gluing them down to the card front.  To finish it off, I added some of the Finnabair Star Mechanicals.
