Hey there stamping friends. I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend! Mine was mostly good. Time with friends was great, but a sick kiddo, not so much.
I am happy to be welcoming September right now. I think I am looking forward to fall. I love this season. But it always seems so short and then my least fave, winter. Good thing I have something I love to do inside, right!
Also, being the start of a new month means I am introducing my new stamp set of the month. This month my stamp set of the month is a bundle of stamps, dies and paper. It's the Fringe Frenzy kit by Concord & 9th. It has all the things, fun images, sentiments, coordinating dies, colorful papers. The awesome part is that there is a die that cuts the light weight colorful paper into fringe! I have so many fun ideas to share with you this month. So tune in ever Tuesday this month for an new post, new video and new ideas!
This month I will be making a card and a little something to go with it. ALL WITH FRINGE, yay!
This is a birthday ensemble. A card and a frame piece that would be great gift. I also think this framed piece would be great to set out when it's one of your family members birthday's. Like at the breakfast table or in their room to wake up to. Just a little something to make the day a bit more special.This frame is double sided. You can see the backside below.
I used fringe in three ways in these projects.
First I did a peek through window with the fringe behind to create the cake on the card.
Did you notice the background? I used the Sprinkles turnabout stamp to create this background, only using two colors of ink, white and Velvet by Altenew.
I also did some simple coloring with Copic Markers.
Candles: R35, RV14, Y00
Cake Stand: B00, B02
Second I fringed a piece of paper and then die cut it with the YAY die.
I stamped another Sprinkle background to go inside this Ikea Tolsby frame. The stamped cake and sentiments are on outside of the frame, adhered to a window sheet that comes with the frame. The cake is colored in with the same Copic markers I used on the card (listed above). I love that I can fringe a cake or stamp and color one too!
Third I used a piece of fringe for the tissue paper in the gift bag, on the back side of the frame.
You use the same stamp for the cake and the gift bag. Then you stamp the other images in the set to turn it either into a bag or a cake. I also used the streamer stamp to decorate my gift bag. I colored them in with my copics and then outlined it with a Stardust Gelly Roll pen.
The CUTE tag and bow were die cut with the Fringe Frenzy Die set. And the heart stamped on the tag is from the Fringe Frenzy stamp set. I really is a versatile stamp set. I used the largest sentiment on this side of the frame and inked it with Velvet ink on the top and Coral Berry on the bottom to get an ombre look.
And those super cute hearts area Red Hots from Honey Bee Stamps.I am in LOVE with them.
