MIM #139: Stamped Square Frames + Merry Monday #82 + Simon Says

The Make It Monday technique is one I've been meaning to try ever since I saw Dawn McVey use her Boutique Border stamps this way a few months ago. You can check out Dawn's tutorial at Capture the Moment and try your hand at stamping a square frame.




One side of the frame from Boutique Borders Thanks is inked to make my square frame. True story: I stamped the square frame and then cut the circle panel on my first try with imperfect results, so then I cut the circle panel first and stamped my square on the second attempt and it was way easier to line up the corners.

Instant Photo Holidays stamps create the sentiment and the ornaments from Holiday Cheer.



The circle panel is popped up, but I didn't want to add any more bulk to the card, so used a glitter pen to finish it off.

The color palette and circle panels come from the current Merry Monday challenge.




I am also linking up to the Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge Blog where Anything Goes this week.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
