I had so many comments on the Frame I featured last week on the Blog Hop. I am so happy everyone liked it. Today I am going to share with you the details on that and the card I made.
So without further adieu, here are the details on the frame:
Family Frame last spring, I envisioned seasonal inserts for the same frame. Then Stampin' Up! went and retired the two larger alphabet die sets. And the new Typeset Alphabet dies are much smaller and just weren't quite going to work for a 10x13 frame. But I had made these smaller frames as teacher gifts at the end of the school year and thought I'd give that a whirl with the new dies.
The Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper is cut into 2-1/2" squares and layered on a piece of Basic Black Card Stock. I used the Circle #2 die to cut 2" circles since that is missing from our punch line up. They are the middle circle in the mat stacks under the letters. For the Googly Ghouls, I stamped them in Staz-on, colored them with the markers and cut them out.
I have visions of making a similar frame with the Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper and the Toxic Treat Stamp Set but I haven't had a chance to yet. Both will be offered at my Spook-tacular Stampin' Buffet coming up in about a month. But starting today, I am offering the Googly Ghouls Frame Insert Kit so you can get one of your very own!
And now for the card:
I made this for the Stampin' Addicts Holiday Catalog Swap. It's a little
hard to tell from the picture, but I stamped the witch in Basic Black
Craft Ink and then Embossed her with Basic Black Embossing Powder to
give her some
dimension and shine. Then I colored her with the markers and cut her
out. I originally had a Tangerine Tango circle behind her, but thought
it needed just a bit more color so I changed it to Perfect Plum to make
it just a bit more "Halloweenish."
And if you missed the rest of the Blog Hop Projects, all the blogs are deep linked together so it's not too late. Just start here.

Love this frame!! So glad you got it to work with the smaller letters as well. And that card is too cute! So glad I have one in person!
Such fun projects. I've been wondering about the new letters and glad that they worked for this.
