Secret Garden Framelits | The Maui Stamper

Today I’m pleased to share the talents of the Maui Stampers:

Cheryl used Sweater Weather DSP and the Magnificent Maple and Tags 4 You bundle for her card.

I love the pop of Coastal Cabana with the Modern Medley DSP! Stephanie used stamps from Happy Day and Express Yourself (hostess).

Robbie made these gorgeous Halloween Treats inspired by Pam Morgan’s stamping demonstration at convention.

Take a 6″ x 6″ square of DSP, run a line of Sticky Strip along one edge, and make a cone. You can see how the flap on the cone is tucked in at the top.

Don’t you love how Robbie used a smidge of gold embossing powder on that Vintage Button?

Ramona cut the Natural Composition Specialty paper with the Secret Garden Framelits and then used the Woodgrain TIEF to tie the elements of her card together.

Cheryl (two Cheryls!!) used the Kind & Cozy stamp set for this cheery card. This is a “you made my day” kind of card! She used a Pool Party panel behind a 3 3/4″ x 5″ note card to create extra interest.

Lots of creative inspiration here – enjoy!

Welcome to another edition of our RemARKable Stamp of the Month tour – this month we’re featuring Secret Garden and the coordinating Secret Garden Framelits. RemARKables are a very creative group and I am certain you’re finding loads of great ideas. Let’s see if I can’t share one or two more.

I snooped through Pinterest for ideas and saw a lot of cards that included round or oval shapes with the Secret Garden flowers. I thought about making a round card, but ultimately came up with an oval card that I am very pleased with. Tell me what you think!

This is the largest oval framelit, cut from So Saffron and embossed with the Lattice TIEF. It’s layered over a card cut from Whisper White – Stampin’ Up! Whisper White is just a little lighter weight, and you can cut two layers with a framelit. The various flowers from the Secret Garden stamp set are inked in either Perfect Plum or So Saffron and stamped on either Whisper White or Perfect Plum card stock. A little ribbon, a few pearls, and a banner finish it off! The message on the banner is from the new Cuddles and Kisses stamp set – great fonts and great messages!

I cut a LOT of flowers to play with, and when I was finished with the card there were still a LOT of flowers left over! After a few false starts, I came up with a fun gift to go with this card:

This frame has moved around my studio a half dozen times begging to be embellished. It took a major expedition to find the dog-gone thing once I realized I needed it. Isn’t that how it goes? Of course, I’m not showing you what my studio looks like, because you would see the problem immediately.

The framelits do such a quick, clean job of cutting things out. Fussy cutting looks great, but it’s a bother to do! This takes the trouble out of the process.
