Wild Rose frame made using Art Nouveau and Fancy Frames cartridges.

Hello, friends!

I have something a little out of the box today. I made a few frames using the Fancy Frames cartridge and the Art Nouveau cartridge. Now I know what you are thinking, "Melanie, what would I do with this frame because it is made out of paper?". Yes, it is made out of paper, but it is attached to a cheap frame I bought from a discount store. Therefore, it has good stability. You can also use modge podge to give it some heft. As for what you would do with it, I think this would be great for a wedding/baby  shower with a picture of the guest of honor in the center. If you go the modge podge route it can go on a wall or a table top and last for sometime!

I used Close to My Heart and Coredinations cardstock.

I cut the frame out at 7 3/4"using the Fancy Frames cartridge and the roses out at 6" using the Art Nouveau cartridge.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!! See you back here tomorrow!!

Celebrate Today card made using the NEW Fancy Frames cartridge and Build a Flower cartridges

Hello, friends!

I hope you all had a great weekend. It was a fun one for me because I got to do several things that I wanted to do instead of a bunch of things that I HAD to do. Love that!

Today's card is made using two of my favorite cartridges from the latest release (Fancy Frames and Flower Shoppe). I think they are kind of like peanut butter and jelly. They compliment each other perfectly!

I have noticed many people are confused at to if these new project cards are compatible with the Expression. Absolutely they are! So if you had any reservations due to that question, now you know. Which means you can purchase away *wink*

I used My Mind's Eye paper.

The frame is cut out at 2 1/4".

The flower is cut out at 2" and the leaves are cut out at 1".

The stamps used are from Papertrey Ink
