My True Love Frame

This little princess is my True Love and I love to show off her photos!   For this project I have used the 4 x 6 Craft Frame which is perfect for the smaller prints I order online. I have also used an older paper line from Authentique, Blue Fern Studios Chipboard, Tattered Angels paints and Sprays, and several paper flowers.

I added a Beaded Stick Pin to the corner of my frame. You can see a tutorial on how to make your own stick pins here.  I used foam tape from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to give my sentiment some dimension and finished this section off with a few small flowers.

In the upper corner I added a piece of distressed chipboard to the back of the frame, adding flowers and a small ribbon bow on top.  I used a variety of paints and sprays from Tattered Angels on the chipboard piece.

I started with a couple of coats of High Impact Paint, letting each coat  dry before adding another.

Next I added a spray of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and used a low temp heat gun to dry it.

Here is the finished product - lovely!

Mermaid Baby Clear Frame

I am ashamed to admit that I have turned into that grandmother that everyone runs from. Yep - I always have a photo of my beautiful grand daughter to hand and I am ready to show it to you at a moments notice. Since I have so many I am always needing a new way to show them off. I love these clear, beveled edge frames from Deflecto®

Today I using the 5X7 Beveled Edge Frame - it holds a 5X7 photo (or mat) with plenty of room to spare. The frame is two pieces so your photo floats in the middle. This makes it really easy to switch your photos out frequently.

For this project I used paper and die cut stickers from the new Julie Nutting line. I used an older Martha Stewart punch across the bottom of the polka dot paper strip.
PS: This fabulous 4x4 print is from Persnickety Prints. They are good quality and a nice price.

I used a wood token from Maya Road, die cut stickers to match the paper line, and some paper flowers to embellish the front of the frame.

This chipboard is from my stash (seriously it is one of the very first sets I bought a loong time ago). I painted the pieces using using DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics. I have found that a low temp glue gun is the best way to adhere pieces to the outside of the frames - it grabs instantly and holds well.

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(
