Today's card was my first ever attempt at using Stampin' Up!'s Shaker Frames... and I love them! I had originally wanted to stamp the butterflies on to the Window Sheets, but I did not have any Staz-On ink, so I attempted to heat emboss the butterflies. Just FYI, don't try that! The heat from my Heat Tool made the Window Sheet curl up and melt a bit... not good. So I ended up just stamping the butterflies onto Whisper White cardstock and then punched them out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch. I think the finished product is cute and whimsical with the touch of Sycamore Street DSP in the windows. What do you think?
I love the Sycamore Street DSP and I think that it adds interest as the base for my Shaker Frames, rather than a solid color cardstock. In the future, I think that I will use measuring spoons to measure out my Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I was fretting over getting just the right amount of glitter into each of the frames.
Cute card, I think, overall. And I'm sure one of my girlfriends will be happy to get this fun one in the mail.
See you all tomorrow!
