Sharing Time: Field Flowers Faux Frame

Today I want to share with you a card that was designed and offered by Dawn Olchefske at her DOstamping Card Class recently.  We sponged the inside area using a narrow frame cut with the Labels Framelits.  I went a little 'deep' with my sponging - but I like how it turned out!

Isn't the the little word label a cute shape?  It's created using the Decorative Label punch twice!  Be sure to click on Dawn's name below to see her original card and watch a quick video!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Missin' my favorite Typewriter stamp ...

I remember the 'old days' but probably not further back than electric typewriters!  I was too little to actually use the manual version - but even so, I still love the look ... and I miss this retro typewriter stamp a lot now that it is retired.  So in honor of the old days, I am sharing this card with you today!

 

That's real dictionary paper in the background - I keep a book around just for crafting!  I cut it to size, wadded it up into a ball (yes, I know ... it hurts, but it has to be done!), flattened it out, and inked the edges roughly with a sponge.  Be careful to get it fastened where you want it the first time - it dosn't like to be repositioned!

I changed up the Crumb Cake for So Saffron - I like this look, too!

Squares are IN(color)!

I'm on a roll with squares this week!  This card uses the 2011-13 IN Colors, a traditional square punch as well as a corner rounder . . .

The little flower motifs were hand-cut and the seam binding ribbon was folded in half and finger pressed.  I CASEd this from Mary Brown because I thought it was such a pretty way to showcase the IN Colors.  And I like making this size cards every so often just to get out of my A2 rut!  This card is the perfect size for your 12x12 paper, because it starts with a 6x6 square!  Hey, another SQUARE!
