Handcrafted by Helen: Double frame cards with left over flower stamps

These cards are using the left over flowers from making the cut border cards from my last video.

I started by cutting out 2 frames out of gold mirror card using 3 different sized rectangle nesting dies and then repeated it so I had two of each size. You could do them a lot thinner than I have, but I wanted to be able to put foam tape on the back to raise them up, and if they were too skinny it would be very difficult. You don’t necessarily have to raise them up though, so if you weren’t you could make them thinner.

I then stuck each pair together, slightly offset, so that they made a kind of ‘crystal’ frame. I then put some foam tape onto the backs of these. Before I stick them down onto my card base, I want to do a light colour blending in the area where my flowers are going to go, radiating from that point up into the framed area a little. Then I stamped my sentiments where I wanted them, and then I was ready to stick down my frames.

The last thing to do was to make an arrangement with my left over stamped flowers and leaves, and then stick them down either with glue or with foam tape.

These frames could be done with any shaped nesting dies, hexagon or that sort of shape would be really effective. Use what you have and you will be thrilled at the result!

I have a video of making the card.
