Hello everyone.  I've been sick with the flu for the past few days but am finally feeling better to get this blog post done.  Today's project is a great way to use the Card Creator dies but NOT  on a card.  This is a home decor frame.  It's very easy to make and very affordable.  Frames like the one used in this project are available everyone for very little money - check IKEA, your local Dollar stores, etc.  Even your local craft stores have these for very little money (make sure you use a coupon!!).   Supplies Used: Card Creator A2 Matting Basics Set A Card Creator A2 Matting Basics Set B Stampendous Aged Gold Embossing Enamel  Grand Calibur Die Cut Machine   Joy Image by Inkadinkado No. 94601-X Holly Border from the Christmas Borders set under the Dylusions line by Ranger Frame 5"x 7" with mat  Piece of chipboard 5" x 7" - if it did not come with the frame Black cardstock Red cardstock Whit...

Today's tutorial is very easy to do.  And it really works best with a large image or background stamp with lots of detail.   My apologies for using an image that I believe is retired.  But I really love this image and have wanted to make this card for a long time.   Supplies Used: Holiday Pear Collage by Rubber Stampede  Spellbinders Card Creator Dies - A2 MATTING BASICS A Spellbinders Card Creator Dies - A2 MATTING BASICS B Grand Calibur Machine by Spellbinders Red Cardstock White Cardstock for stamped images (I used X-Press Blending Sheets ) White Cardstock for card base - 8 1/4" x 5 3/8" folded in half Black Ink Pad - I used a Versafine Onyx Black Ink Pad but you can use Ranger Black Archival or Memento Tuxedo Black also.   Wink of Stella Glitter Markers in Light Green , Green , and Gold Tombow Red Marker No. 885 Viva Decor Ruby Glitter Liner Double Sided Tape Step by Step: 1.  Stamp your image 3 times...
