Fun with Frames

Hi everyone. Today I have a couple of fun projects to share with you using Acrylic Craft Frames from Deflecto Craft Solutions. You will now be able to order these products from Hot Off The Press!

I received some beautiful papers from HOTP to use and I had such a hard time choosing from them that I used a little bit from all three packages; Artful Watercolor, Sweet Life, and On Butterfly Wings.

For my first frame I used the 5x7 Beveled Edge Frame and decorated inside and on top of the frame. This frame can be presented either portrait or landscape to fit your needs.

I loved the flowers from the Artful Watercolor pack, so I fussy cut several, shaped and layered them, added some Stickles and adhered to the front of my frame. I also punched some tiny butterflies using a very old punch I have, coated them with Glossy Accents and added to the flowers when dry.

To add a little interest to the upper corner I pulled out a little bling from Melissa Frances and some coordinating ribbon.

For the second frame I wanted something Back To School themed and I used

•  4x6 Clear Craft Frame 
• (1) Flexible Pouch
•  Sign and Banner Hanger

I mixed several of the papers from the Sweet Life pack, adding some faux stitching with a black pen.

The Hall Pass in the Flexible Pouch can be removed from the frame when needed - cool, huh? I added a little note to let students know the pass was checked out. The amazingly cute school themed ribbon is from Doodlebug- and I have been hoarding saving it for years because I knew that someday I would need it for something!


Hot Off The Press has just released their new catalog so be sure to check it out.  Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you are having drier weather where you are than we are here- I think we are on day 87 of rain :o(
