How cool it is to create a frame card layout using some paper scraps! Use any stamps, paper, and inks you have on hand to make this card. This is one of my favorite layouts because I can use up paper scraps.

The frame card layout works great with cardstock scraps too! I am featuring the Nature’s Prints stamp set and Sun Prints Designer Series Paper, but make sure to watch the video to see some other fun ideas with this layout.

Card Making Challenge: Get Inspired To Join The Fun & Make Some Cards

Card Making Challenge: Get Inspired & Make Some Cards

My Klompen Stampers Demonstrator Teams loves to learn new stamping ideas, layouts, techniques…..and participate in fun card making challenges. Challenges force us out of our “stamping box” and get us thinking in different ways as we create.

Each month I try to have different types of challenges for my team to participate in. This time I thought I would share some of the great cards that they created when I gave them this card making challenge.

Everyone was given EXACT sizes of cardstock and Designer Series Paper to cut. They could use any colors/paper, but they had to cut exactly per the diagram for this card making challenge. Here is the diagram that I gave them.
