Wonderous EZ-De’s stamps

Hello blog friends, Vishu here with two quick and easy projects. Firstly I have a confession to make I did not work on these projects until last night, have you heard the saying “If it weren’t for last minute my work would never get done” well sometimes this holds so very true for me and I always tell myself to never repeat it again…….but………..well that could be a whole discussion and way off topic for why I am here today so with no further delay here are my two projects a photo frame and a card.

 

 

I cannot say enough how wonderful Ann Butler’s EZ-De’s Stamps are, you have got to try them. Both these projects were so easy and quick to create and I realized why Ann named them EZ- De’s (Easy design elements). For the photo frame, I took a white card stock and masked the center with a scrap piece of paper and then stamped a border with the check pattern of the stamp set using Ann Butler’s crafter’s ink, to add some interest I went back and colored the alternate blank squares with my pink Copic marker. Layered it with black cardstock and stuck my photo, to finish the frame I embellished it with a flower. This is such a quick project and a unique way of gifting the special photos to your family members (this one goes to my awesome mother-in-law).

Hope you can see the squares colored with the pink copic marker.

Now the second project was also quick to put together. Stamped my card base with EZ-De’s stamps, added some color using Ann Butler’s crafter’s ink to the cardstock as well as lace. Cut some spellbinder dies and voila.

 

I added this sentiment for Ann (for all the wonderful crafty goodness), Lisa (for motivating us and being there when we need help) and my wonderful team members (for inspiring me everyday with their work).
