Stampin Up Framelits – Use Differently – Part 2

Posted on by

Yesterday, I shared an alternative method for using Stampin Up Framelits to create a debossed frame from a negative cutout.  Today, I am sharing another alternative method for using the Stampin Up Framelits.  This method provides a framelit size that is different from the usual.

If you have used any of the Stampin Up Framelits that are of the same design (i.e., Hearts Collection, Floral Frames, Window Frame Collection, and Labels Collection),  I’m sure you’ve noticed the size between each framelit is no less than 1/4″.

Personally, I prefer the size between the Stampin Up Framelits to be smaller (i.e., 1/8″).  To that end, here is an alternative for you to acquire a smaller size.

 

ALTERNATIVE 2:  CREATE A STAMPIN UP FRAMELIT CUTOUT THAT IS ONLY 1/8″ LARGER THAN THE NEXT SMALLEST FRAMELIT (NOT THE USUAL 1/4″)

STEP 1. Select one framelit and desired card stock and cut out two framelits using the Big Shot. (Refer to yesterday’s post for the Big Shot sandwich.)

STEP 2.  Lay the next smallest framelit onto one of the cutouts with the cutting edge facing upward.

STEP 3.  With a pencil, trace around the framelit.

STEP 4. Using paper snips, cut along your tracing.

Now you have a cutout that is 1/8″ smaller, except at the very top. I like the look better, don’t you?

 Using this tool tip, your top framelit will provide more room on which to stamp.

STAMPIN UP FRAMELITS – HOW TO USE THEM DIFFERENTLY – PART 2

Floral Frames Framelits

The Floral Frames Framelits from Stampin’ Up! rank at the top of my favorite framelits.  When it debuted the framelits in January 2012, Stampin’ Up! also developed rubber stamps that coordinated with the framelits.  The Floral Frames Framelits have a coordinating stamp set; however, my card share today does not feature that stamp set.  It features the Floral Frames Framelits.

I’ve heard a lot of stampers express their displeasure with one of Stampin’ Up!’s new “In Colors” called Summer Starfruit.  I think it is a cool color and if you combine it with the right color(s), it looks great.  I think this card looks great with the Summer Starfruit Card Stock and Primrose Petals Card Stock, which is also a new In Color.

Below are the Stampin’ Up! Supplies used for this card as well as the instructions.

I could not do without the Stampin’ Up! Labels Collection Framelits, as well as all of the Stampin’ Up!’s framelits, as well as the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.  To me, the Labels Collection Framelits and all of the other framelits are must-have tools for creating paper crafts. The Labels Collection Framelits may be designed to cut certain stamp cut images, but they certainly may be used for other purposes.

The card share for you today features the Labels Collection Framelits and Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set.  To use the  Labels Collection Framelits, you will need the Big Shot, its multipurpose platform (Tab 1), and standard cutting pads.  Below are instructions for making this card.
