Wheeled Frame


This is one of the cards from my September Technique class. We created a frame using one of the Stampin' Up! standard wheels - Decor 119894 £6.50.

This technique is really quick and easy to do. It looks especially good on Scrapbook pages, but can be done for cards.


You start by drawing a light pencil cross across a square of cardstock. Position a post-it note along the pencil line from the bottom left corner up towards the middle and another from the top left corner down towards the middle.


You then wheel your image up the left side - using a wheel guide to keep it straight. Remove the post-it notes and rotate the cardstock a quarter turn before repeating the process again on the remaining three sides.


This is a 12x12 page I completed of my daughter to showcase some of the new fabric that Stampin' Up! is now selling in the UK. I was asked to create some samples and do a demonstration using the fabric at the recent training event held by Stampin' Up! at High Wycombe. This was one of the samples I did :o)

The fabric is lovely to work with. I really hate to sew, so most of the samples I produced had no sewing in them at all. I'll show you them soon.

The flowers on this page were cut using the Fun Flowers die and the Big Shot. I laid them all onto copy paper and sprayed them in a light laundry starch before crumpling them all up inside the paper. I then un-crumpled the paper and left the flowers to dry.

The buttons were made from circles of cardstock stacked on top of each other and topped off with a circle of matching Designer Series Paper. I punched two holes using my crop-a-dile and covered the DSP with Crystal Effects to give it a shiny finish :o)

The stamp sets used here are Strength & Hope (retired), Tiny Tags and Confetti. The colours are Real Red and Baja Breeze. The ribbon used is the Baja Breeze seam binding and Whisper White Taffeta.

I re-did this page, using current products for a recent competition held by Stampin' Up! for their demos. Everyone who submitted projects to be considered for display at the up and coming European Convention went into a draw - and I won a stamp set!!! I love being a Demonstrator for this fabulous company! Have you ever thought about joining? October is a great month to start.
