Moment to Shine (Rozy Smith)

Moment to Shine

by Rozy


Use an 11 1/2" x 8 1/2" chalkboard base, chalkboard papers of your choice and Frantic Stamper Film Strip Die.

Use the cutouts to trace on your picture, cut out to fit the openings in the film strip.

Frame your picture. Use Washi Tape to cover the chalkboard frame.

Not all scrapbook layouts are on paper. When a special moment arrives use your imagination!

The focal point of this arrangement was to capture the "Black Belt" happening moment.

Be sure to check out Frantic Stampers large selection of Chalkboard items! This is really the craze right now.

Coloring Cats (Kathy Berger)

Coloring Cats

by Kathy Berger


I love cats, and for some reason they seem to love me, too. My daughter calls me the Cat Whisperer because of my way with them. So when Fran asked me to draw some small cats for her die line, I was beyond thrilled!

When I got my "Ten Fun Felines" die set from Frantic Stamper I couldn't wait to cut with them! I grabbed a piece of my favorite layering weight white card-stock and ran them through my ebosser. And I fell instantly in love. The cats looked wonderful in plain white card-stock.

But I was really curious how they would look if colored. So I dug out my Copic Ciao markers and set out to see. The first one I tackled was my frazzled black cat who really looks black in this photo, but was actually colored with C07, BV29 and B99.

Next I colored one cat a light yellow/tan to resemble my kitty Pudge (E11, E31, Y00, Y11, Y02), and another black (this time I really used black- 100) and white (actually C0) to match my tuxedo cat, Muphin. And then I just kept coloring, matching cats I have had in my life (for the rest of the cats I used E00, E31, E35, E37, Y02, Y06, C0, C2, C3, C5, W0,W1,W2,W3, and W5 in various combinations).

I think these cats have some pretty serious "purr"-sonality. What do you think? I can't wait to use them on a project, and I can't wait to color some more!

I hope you will give coloring some tiny Fun Feline die cuts with Copic Markers a try, too.

Autumn Splendor (Lis Whiting)

Autumn Splendor

by Lis Whiting



Hi everyone!  Today I want to share a card using Frantic Stamper's new Die Release, the Mix 'n Match Leaf Windows.    I started out with a rich brown card base (4 1/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches).  I embossed some suede paper in rust using a leaf design. Then  I layered gold glossy card stock and then the rust suede paper on top.  I used specialty card stock (mocha ripple and red fireworks - both AMAZING) and die cut one set each of the three leaf windows.  I made sure that each die was at least 1/2 inch from the next one because I planned to cut each out into a square.  To cut out the leaf windows, I used a square punch. This helped me keep a consistent border size.
I added an olive green ribbon and then placed the mocha squares on it.  I intertwined the three squares.  Then I cut out the leaves from the red fireworks squares and layered them on top of the mocha leaves with foam tape.  I added beige pearls to finish.



Thanks for stopping by!
Lis
