Bloggers Challenge – Alter it!

April 24, 2009 By Connie | 24 Comments

Today’s Bloggers Challenge was to alter something.  I guess you could say this is a double alter!  I found these frames at Target for $1 and bought a ton of them.  I originally had used the frames for a class and stamped the big flower from Fabulous Flowers in it.  So, I took out that one and replaced it with the new Bigz Die Daisies #2 one!  Once again I used my Big Shot and cut out two of the Daisies #2 dies.  This die has three sizes of the Daisy on it.  I sponged a little So Saffron ink on the centers and petals of each flower and then adhered both the layers together in the different sizes.  I used my fingernail to curl up the edges of the petals slightly.  I used a Kiwi Kiss Corduroy button in the center (my favorite use of these buttons!) and then used two Pop Dots on the back to give the Daisy some dimension off the background. 

The background is the Washington Apple Designer Paper and it matches my Studio perfectly!  I layered it on Kiwi Kiss cardstock and then Chocolate Chip to fit the frame.  I stamped the Just for You from the stamp set Oval All with Kiwi Kiss and punched it with my Scallop Oval punch.  I layered that on the Wide Oval punch.  I added a couple Kiwi Kiss Sizzlit Die Little Leaves under the flower petals!

Wouldn’t this make a nice Mother’s Day gift? 

Remember My Customer Appreciation Special is still going on and you can get the Oval All stamp set FREE?  Check this POST!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 18 years and had my 17 year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    What a great project! I love the daisies die too – my club girls made frames using the butterfly die – but I need to do some with the daisies too.
    Thanks for sharing.
