Non-Stampin' Up!: 8"x10" frame

INSTRUCTIONS:

I used an 8x10 frame for this piece, and cut the base 8x10. All the stamped pieces were mounted on either 2x2" squares or 2x4" rectangles. The strips of designer paper on the 2x4" rectangles were cut from one of the striped pieces in the Snow Festival Designer Series Paper. I trimmed off the stripe I wanted to use and then cut two pieces 2" long. I really think just that little bit adds a lot more interest.

Choose coordinating colors and designer paper and your artwork will come together quickly! I selected the three colors I wanted to use, then started stamping on Very Vanilla card stock and cutting and punching out the images to mount on my squares or rectangles. 

Don't let the supply list above intimidate you. The beauty of the framed art is you can mix and match as many or as few stamp sets as you want. And half the fun was laying it out and deciding what would go where! Have fun!
