Toxic Framed Art Piece

Stampin' Up! has a super cool Halloween download for My Digital Studio called Toxic Framable Digital Designer Template. It's an 8 1/2" x 11" framable artwork template you can customize with colors to match your home and style. It's a great deal at $3.95 and an instant download for My Digital Studio and includes a 34-piece brush set.

I printed the download without any changes on my computer at home and mounted it in a shabby chic 8" x 10" frame I found in Corey's booth at NW Creations & Collectibles (where I also have a booth of Stampin' Up! projects for sale). 

I then jazzed it up with a belly band to go around the frame.

Gratitude Framed Art Piece & Card

I was asked by a friend of mine to put together a framed art piece for his mom - here's what I came up with

I started with a 13 x 13 walnut (Early Espresso) frame I found
and matted it with four 4 x 6 openings.

I wanted to have both a masculine feel, yet soft and flowery for Bill's mom.  The Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper (DSP) fit the bill (so to speak)!

Here I used the Forever with You stamp set, which coordinates with the Comfort Cafe DSP, and pretty much just CASE'd the book cover sample in the catalog for the Product Suite.

There's a Holiday Catalog sneak peek in here too - can you spot it?
It's the new 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch!

I used the Frameable Gratitude Designer Template download for My Digital Studio (MDS)
to make this frame.
The embellishment on the 3/8" Taffeta Soft Suede Ribbon is also sneak peek from the upcoming Holiday Catalog called Designer Ribbon Slides.

This is the matching card I made for him to include with his gift.
I incorporated many of the same elements from the frame, like the Naturals Designer Buttons and Comfort Cafe DSP.  The new Layered Labels stamp set and coordinating Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies, Strips Embossing Folder and Summer Starfruit card stock were also used.

And of course I had to make a matching gift bag!
There's also another Holiday Catalog sneak peek here - 3-1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon, which is extra-soft tulle.  It will be available beginning August 1st in three colors - Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, and Early Espresso (which I used to make this darling accent bow).

Stampin' Supplies:

• Stamp Sets: Forever with You, Layered Labels
• Ink: Soft Suede, Pool Party
• Paper: Comfort Cafe DSP; Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Pool Party, Summer Starfruit
• Tools & Accessories: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Fun Flowers Bigz Die, Stripes Embossing Folder, MDS, Frameable Gratitude Designer Template MDS download, Blossom Punch, 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch*, Oval Punch, 1" Punch, 3/4" Punch, 1/2" Punch, Soft Suede 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Early Espresso 3-1/2" Scalloped Tulle Ribbon*, Early Espresso, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Linen Thread, Naturals Designer Buttons, Designer Ribbon Slides*, Clear Medium Envelopes (102619), Sticky Strip, Dimensionals
• Non-SU!: 13 x 13 Frame, Kraft Bag

* Available August 1 when the new Holiday Catalog goes live!

I also made another Home Sweet Home Decor Element Wall Art Piece:

I applied the black vinyl directly to the glass and left the back open so the
wall would show through. 
I tried to take pictures of it on my Ginger Snap painted wall, but they just didn't turn out :(
