I love crafts – especially if they involve cute paper, sentimental thoughts or ideas, and allow for additional embellishments that help me make the project uniquely mine. The craft was called the ‘FAMILY’ Framed Project and the finished project looked like this…
I love what my clear hobby rubber stamps did for this project. Before stamping additional words and embellishments, it looked like this…
I love what fun words, flowers and sayings can do for a craft! If you would like to be able to make this craft the instructions are below….
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- Background: 1 – 12×12 sheet of cardstock – your choice of color
- Matts: 2 – 12×12 sheets of black cardstock
- Patterned Paper: 8-10 different sheets of scrapbook paper in your color scheme
- Embellishments: Ribbon, flowers, brads, eyelets, clips, beads, charms etc in your choice of style and color
- Glue stick and or photo mounting squares
- Letters F A M I L Y either cut from cardstock or chipboard
For a 12 x 12 project (framed in a 14″ square frame) you will need:
- 1 12×12 background paper
- 9 – 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ squares in coordinating designs
- 9 – 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ squares in matting color
Decorate each square as desired. Letters can be enhanced by tying ribbon around the back or by adding a paper flower.
Then the real fun begins, using either clear alphabet stamps, or words, sayings or sentiments clear rubber stamps, add fun words, thoughts and ideas to each letter square on your project. Once you are happy with the result arrange squares evenly on background paper and secure them into place.
Happy Stamping!!!
