Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #139: Stamped Square Frames

 This week's PTI MIM is super fun! Plus I love to see Dawn McVey create :-) The tutorial is about taking your border stamps (or even edges of stamps) to make a decorative frame. There are so many possibilities to this. Just like doing puzzles. I'm hoping to have more time to experiment with other stamps but here's what I came up with for now. 

My favorite colors for Christmas are kraft, red and white. To me it is so cozy.

I used this die: https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/boutique-borders-baby-mini-stamp-set/

to make my frame and then I added a little extra flourish using the small leaf in this stamp set:

Just for fun I took the edge of this stamp and stamped the edges.

I added some glitter, die cuts, sentiment, polka dot paper, and I was done!

To view the challenge for yourself and give it a whirl, go to:

Wishing you a bright and happy day.

I really appreciate all the sweet and encouraging comments. Paper crafters are very kind and creative. I learn so much from each of you!
