It's September and our minds turn to fall. Today in Katy, we're having a cool front - the high is only 99!! (as opposed to the 100+ temperatures of the last few weeks!) Whether this card is the result of the season or the fact that I got this Well Worn Designer Series Paper for FREE last week or the new Peekaboo Frames Bigz L DIe for the Big Shot that's now available in Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini Catalog, effective today, I don't know. Maybe a combination of all of them, what do you think?
I used Soft Suede card stock for the base, then a layer of Night of Navy card stock, followed by the paper from the Well Worn Designer Series. A thin piece of the Night of Navy separates the paper from the Cajun Craze Peekaboo Frame. The frame is covered with a piece of River Rock card stock that has been distressed with Cajun Craze and Early Expresso Classic Inks. I stamped the image from the Clearly for You stamp set in Cajun Craze Classic Ink.
Here you can see why it's called a Peekaboo Frame. When you open the flap, you can "peek" inside to see the message. In this case, stamped from the Bold Blossoms stamp set on Distressed River Rock card stock.
In keeping the distressed idea, I laid the frame on the Early Expresso Classic Ink pad and patted the card stock into the ink to create this look.
Since the Soft Suede is a darker color and hard to see when written on, I added a piece of Distressed River Rock card stock to the inside.
There you have it! The first "fall" card of 2011! Hope you like it!
The Peekaboo Frames are available in the new Holiday Mini Catalog. If you didn't receive yours in the mail, you aren't on my Stampin' Up! mailing list! Let me know and I can get you a Holiday MIni Catalog, or we can schedule a workshop and all your friends can get one also! Stamping is so much fun to do together!
Happy Stamping!
