I am in Christina Crawford's downline and she chose me to be her featured artist for this month! I have to create about 25 projects focusing on certain stamp sets. I chose all of mine from the Occasions Mini Catalog and they are; Well Scripted, Fox & Friends and Tote-ally Tess. I used other stamp sets with them but these will be in all of the projects.

Below is how to make the frame with the Top Note die and the crimped flower:
For the too note frame:
Punch out a top note shape.


Fold it in half the short way. Place it back on the top note die above the short side to cut out the inside of the frame.


Now you have this. Open up the outside part and this will be your frame.


If you don't want to see the corner creases, spray it with alcohol and put it through with a texture plate and it will flatten out and give it some texture.


For the crimped flower you need a 1" or so x 12" piece of DSP. Put your scallop trim edge on it and put it through your crimper a number of times to soften up the paper. The last time leave it crimped.


Punch out a scrap circle and put sticky tape on it.


Scrunching up the bottom of the paper, wrap it around the circle to make the flower.


Keep wrapping from the outside in.


Once you are finished you can put a button or other embellishment in the center!

Tess has legs! I thought if I drew Tess some legs I could do a little more with this stamp set.

I am in Christina Crawford's downline and she chose me to be her featured artist for next month! I have to create about 25 projects focusing on certain stamp sets.

Here are my first two cards for this! To see them all CLICK HERE!
The owl card is made using the scallop square die cut with the big shot. Here is how I did it.

Fold a paper in half that is big enough to cover the scallop square leaving the folded part just below where it would get cut.(Notice the white gel pen lines to center my papers more easily. I have this on all my dies to show me the center.)

Turn your paper like shown centered in the die. This will give it the circle, octagon shape.
This is the shape you will get.
And it opens like a card!
This is how I cut the moon for the moon swing card. Just cut the first circle out of cardstock and then the second one around it.
More cards to come soon!
