Good morning everyone..
Sharing my post from http://poppystamps.typepad.com/ blog to-day
Love using flowers and pretty borders, thought I would share how easy it is to make a lacy frame from a border die.
See what I mean! how pretty is this frame and these gorgeous Dandelion Stems both from Poppystamps.
I made a frame with dies from my stash! you could do this with a cutter or craft knife and pencil lines ...Poppystamps "Pretty Stitches" border measure`s 5.1/2" long..my inside frame measure`s the same 5.1/2" outside measure`s 6.1/2" ..this make`s 1/2" frame, ..in the photo I have cut 4 borders , adhered two on the reverse to show, this you do to these 4 borders.
How pretty does this frame look.. I used 3d foam tape to apply to my Lilac background.
I wanted some feature on the background..this is another very easy thing to do. 6.1/2" square Lilac card.. find the center .. using Memory Box..Open Studio Stitched Oval Layers, tape as shown..NEXT run through your machine to Emboss these dies (Not Cut), next while still on the card run a line of glue center ovals, remove these and add loose glitter, I use Glamour Dust.
Few splatters of white paint on the background, two Dandelion stems adhered the center of the flower only, to finish liquid pearls, with two ribbon swirls from Open Studio "Banner Parade" ..sentiment from CL443. Grateful Heart stamp set by Poppystamps.

Hi Pam,
oh this is so very gorgeous and stunning.
Love your idea of the pretty border inside the frame.
and the embossed oval looks so pretty in that lilac shade, and of course the die cut dandilions as so pretty too.
I use a similar method on my SW Dies as I don't have the A and B sets so I improvise with cut off bits.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Pam. Beautiful card. Love the dandelions and your pretty frame :-) Hugs xxx

gorgeous card, fab new dies love it x
Lovely card design. Thanks for sharing the glitter between the oval embossing area. I have not seen this nice technique and will use this because I like bling!
This is such a pretty card Pam, the embossing of the ovals has made a lovely feature.
I have a few border dies that could be used as a frame, great idea, thanks for the tip.

love it Pam it is so delicate,and the added sparkle between the oval dies is great - thanks for all your inspiration xx
Another WOW! I love your idea of making a lacy border inside your frame! Thanks for the details! And the embossing just really makes everything pop! You have the most amazing talent for creating beautiful cards I have ever seen!
Absolutely stunning as always, great tip for the border too :)

Fabulous card Pam. I love how you made the beautiful frame. have a Happy Easter..Loz
Absolutely gorgeous card Pam - the dandelion flowers are so pretty. Great design. Shabneez x
Those dandelions are absolutely beautiful! So delicate. And I love how you did the frame with the pretty border. Definitely an idea I'm filing away. Now wondering if I have a border die that would work. Also, it's very clever the way you used the streamer die as a pretty ribbon. I have that die set and probably wouldn't have thought of this. Lovely card, Pam!
I don't know what to say that I haven't said before - your cards are always so beautiful!

How clever you are. Your card is so beautiful. I pinned your card to my tutorials folder so I can reference this again. You smartie. Happy Easter. Hugs.
