TLC273 ~ I�ve Been Framed!~ (05/17/10)

[Toy]

Hi Friends!


What a gorgeous day we had here in Colorado. Bright sunshine and crisp clean air made for a great day to be outside. I am hoping this is just a taste of good days to come. I really had a hard time forcing myself into the studio to stamp. Days like this make me wish I had someplace outdoors to stamp!

~ I�ve Been Framed ~

I received a private message from Cookie (StampGroover) a while back about doing a challenge called Shadow Box Cards. Now, I knew we had done a challenge back a few years ago based on a tutorial called Shadow Box Cards, but her idea (see THIS card) was different. So this is for you, Cookie, only we�re going to call it something new

The idea is to create a raised frame around your image. You could use nestabilities, or you could simply cut the frame. The possibilities are endless!

Here is my sample:

Please remember when you upload to use KEYWORD TLC273 (no spaces).

The entire TLC273 gallery can be seen HERE.

Go get framed!

thanks holly!! I know what you mean about wanting to be outside! It is supposed to rain today and I have the day off so MAYBE I will get some much needed housework done!!

[DawnL]

great TLC...thanks!!

[hobbydujour]

Fun challenge, Holly. I've never done a "shadow box" frame kind of card. It makes a great presentation. It uses a lot of "pop-up" stickies...if they is a more economical way, I'd love to hear it! : ) Thanks for another fun Monday!

Here is mine: A day of Fishing

[I love rubber]

This is technically not a frame but a hanging sign, but I made it a bit more frame like by daubing the edges to "frame it". I bought some of those crafty secret frames but I didn't have time to assemble them, maybe later in the week. I drew green lines around the edges of all the pages so maybe that counts as an additional frame anyway here it is.

[bon2stamp]

This was a great challenge! It was a little unnerving cutting the inside of the frame with my paper cutter, but it worked out really well. Thanks Holly! Here's my Shabby Rose.

[StampGroover]

Thanks Holly for doing this for the challenge! I hope everyone liked it! I have been in bed sick today and hope to get on tomorrow to see all the wonderful creations....Have a great night

Awesome challenge, Holly!


I backed my frame with chipboard. Made is so much more sturdier for me to work with! Great challenge!
