Christmas is coming and it's time to start making the cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are starting off with a shaker card that would be a great card to make </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to use up patterned paper left overs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sara has made this card using the new Sue Wilson sentiment die called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'Merry little Christmas' and die cut it in gold. It is then cut out again in a larger piece of white card so that the gold words could be placed inside the white die cut.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sara used spellbinders circle nesting dies to create the shaker part and glittered around the circle,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we all love a bit of glitter at Christmas :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Three different pieces of coordinating patterned papers are used for the backing.<br />
From the Snowflake Edger die Sara has used the star border to cut out tiny stars for the shaker contents.</div>

Love the idea of this card that Sara has made using pieces of paper to make a present stack.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sara has made each present box by using different colours of card and a scallop punch for a dainty white trim and made three sizes to stack on top of each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ribbon is used over all three presents and a tag and charm attached to make a super and effective Christmas card.<br />

You could use lots of left over pieces of card for this or has Sara as done,use the <br />
My Mind's Eye accessories pad - <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=88209" target="_blank">Winter Wonderland</a>, that comes with papers and tags.</div>

With different papers you could make this a card for any occasion.</div>

Louise here! It's only Sept I hear you say but I know lots of you are already thinking about Christmas cards and Christmas presents. So I thought I'd share pictures of this mini Christmas album I made for a class we had at Sir Stampalot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This would make a lovely keepsake to give to someone at Christmas for them to keep their special photos in thay they take over the festive season.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The front and back cover of this album is made from chipboard cut to 10cm by 16cm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers used in the album all come from one 8x8 Graphic 45 pad called </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'Twas the night before Christmas' </div>
Unfortunately this collection is now discontinued :(<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but the format and layout of this album would work wonderfully with any paper collection - festive or otherwise :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWU2keHr6uVD_ZZ8cCqP8Ee7Uxd52n2M9oQaIS6icQpFW2Fk3tmZF2XkaKBowd_KHE90YR-uoEQGYUb6mucCTsx7n_eTgBxKbhECNxDCic0rH_YkCkWlSDSHtL4FwTwqGEAekZUkl7rlo/s1600/P1000909.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="714" data-original-width="1600" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWU2keHr6uVD_ZZ8cCqP8Ee7Uxd52n2M9oQaIS6icQpFW2Fk3tmZF2XkaKBowd_KHE90YR-uoEQGYUb6mucCTsx7n_eTgBxKbhECNxDCic0rH_YkCkWlSDSHtL4FwTwqGEAekZUkl7rlo/s400/P1000909.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pages in this album are actually envelopes created from the We R Memory Keepers envelope board and I have used one sheet of 8x8 paper for each envelope.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have made four envelopes in the 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" (gladstone) measurement in patterned paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You then need to remove one of the short edges flap, then glue the rest down like you would a normal envelope. This will create a opening for your tag to go in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have made two 4" x4 "envelopes in black card and cut the one shorter edge the same as before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time I saved the piece that I cut of and punched a border along the long straight edge and then glued it back onto the front of the envelope. This creates a pretty detail to the envelope.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Six tags have been die cut from the Tim Holtz tag collection set to slip into the open end of the envelopes, I did need to cut off a little bit of the length so that they did not stick out to far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a little ribbon to each one.</div>

The whole album is bound together using a Zutter book binding machine and with 1 1/4" wires.</div>

You do need to think about where the holes will be when decorating each page so that you are not ruining a page by punching straight through a decoration with the bind it all machine! </div>

Today we have a mini album made by me (Louise) using Graphic 45 papers from the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Secret Garden collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The papers in this collection are beautiful and this mini album was made using just one 8x8 paper pad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Graphic 45 pads have what they call their 'signature' page, which is the main page depicting the whole colletion theme. I used this signature page for the front and back of my album.<br />
The album front and back covers are cut out of chipboard and measure approx 10cm by 16cm, the papers are cut a little larger so they cover the sides of the chipboard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have used the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board and made envelopes out of each piece of patterned paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In total I made 6 patterned envelopes using the 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" measurment which is marked Gladstone on the board itself.</div>

To finish and bind the album, I have used a cropadile punch and punched holes in all pieces so that I can put them all on two book rings to create the book. You do need to carefully align your pieces and also remove large tags from envelopes because you do not want to catch any when you punch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you are decorating a album like this it is worth always bearing in mind where you place decorations and try to avoid where you will be punching holes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have then added a selection of ribbons and lace to the tops of the tags throughout the album, great for using left over bits and bobs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed making this album because it was a fun project without being too large a task. It would be perfect made in any of the other Graphic 45 paper collections for a little gift, maybe for a new baby or a wedding keepsake.</div>

</div>
So
what's the difference between the US model of the Tim Holtz stamping
platform (1707e) and the UK model of the stamping platform (1708e)?<br />
<br />
We
have all waiting eagerly and there have been a lot of uncertainty about
the nature of the changes/redesign. Well here's what we've found out so
far:<br />
<br />
It appears that the only change we can see, is that there is a difference to the ruler meeting in the corner. <br />
<br />
The
UK version (1708e) has an enclosed right angle corner where the top and
side rulers meet. Additionally the rulers on this UK version, form a
raised edge which you can use to butt your project up to. These
rulers/butt bar are moulded onto the platform (as if resting on it). <br />
<br />
Whereas
the US version (1707e) has been redesigned so the top and side ruler
are not joined up in any way and each ruler is flush with the base
platform and not itself, raised. So an additional raised lip has been
added to act as the ‘butt bar’.<br />
<br />
Here’s a picture comparison between the two models:<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just a little something to show today made by me (Louise).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made these cute owl and fox gift boxes using the Sizzix die called "Owl and Fox" by Jen Long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pretty much made them the same as on the front of the die set because I was in a hurry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to say they are quick and fun to make and you can use up bits of card oddments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My daughter gave these to her teachers, ten in total when she left school a couple of weeks ago, after sitting her final exams.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each box fits three Lindt chocolate balls which was very handy as the gift and also very yummy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Guess who over estimated how many would fit and ended up with spares? Honest, wasn't done on purpose!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They went down very well apparently - well whoo wouldn't love to recieve this as a gift (see what I did there - very cunning eh!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I know it will be a die set I will use again and again.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today we have a card by the lovely Chris Scott using a technique called "baby wipe technique".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chris has used a baby wipe to create a stamp pad by adding drops of distress ink refills in different colours onto the wipe close together. You then take your stamp and press into the baby wipe and then stamp onto your card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The effect is a beautiful watercolour effect and you can add lots of different colour to one stamped image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card Chris has used the a clear stamp set called Busy Bee by Hobby Art which has lots of designs in the set, including the sentiment Chris used.<br />
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tiny bee's are really sweet too and Chris used glossy accents on the wings to make them stand out more.<br />
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish the card a few die cut wild flowers are added using the Tim Holtz Wildflowers dies set and these have been coloured using distress inks to match the card.<br />
<br />
You can see other artwork by Chris on her blog : '<a href="http://alwaysaboutcolour.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Always About Colour</a>'.</div>

I love the colours of this pretty card by Sara using Sue Wilson dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sara has created a aperture in the card using the Eternal Rings die by Sue Wilson.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coloured card is used behind the aperture and pearls added to the flower centres to create</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a truly pretty panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flowers have been die cut and build up using the Sue Wilson Chrysanthemum die and the leaves are die cut from the Spring Foliage set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Micro Beads are used to make the centre of the flowers and give a lovely effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is from a Woodware clear stamp set called Jane's Script and is a lovely sentiment set with words perfect for many occasions and a lovely size to stamp onto cards.</div>

Today we have a very pretty card with lacey butterflies and a glittery background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this card Sara has removed a panel from the right side of the card and replaced with acetate. Then on the right hand inside of the card, added a strip of glittery card so that it shows through acetate when the card is revealed out of the envelope.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A pretty border punch and ribbon add a elegant touch to the left side of the card.</div>

This card from Sara is a very pretty card and also as a touch of sparkle to it. We all love a bit of sparkle :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sara has used the Meridian corner die to die cut two corners of a piece of lilac card, then used the butterflies outline die in the centre.</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On some white card she has then cut a full set of the butterflies dies and replaced the pieces back in the lilac card base.</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using adhesive film and glitter a sparkling background has been created and then placed behind the lilac card.</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ribbon and pearls add a finishing touch to card. </div>

"Pretty in Pink" is the card for today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sara has made this beautiful card using just pink and white cardstock and dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The base is a 8x8 card and a pink slightly smaller piece of card is used for the first layer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sara has then die cut the heart design (from standard heart nestie) out of a slightly smaller piece of white card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using the Tim holtz mixed media die set she has die cut the fancy corner out of white card and used this behind the heart with some pink backing. Doesn't it look really effective?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Shows how versatile the mixed media dies sets are. And how you can mix and match outline dies with fancy detailed details. Loving it :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then to finish off the card, Sara has used the Sue Wilson Spring Foliage die set from the Finishing Touches range and also some lace, glitter and cute ribbon. Notice how there are 3 shades of the pink flowers and each one has a pearl center - looks so elegant. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A Good Luck card for today made by Sara Rosamond.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a really lovely and quick card to make and a great way to use the Sue Wilson</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Easter Basket die set in a very unusal way. Similar to our previous post where Sara has used the basket handle for the Hot Air Balloon, she's been thinking more outside the <strike>box</strike> basket and come up with this gem - using the basket handle upside down for a horseshoe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thin, 3mm, ribbon is then threaded through and a brad used to make it look like it is hanging on the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A die cut of a little black cat is featured in corner and comes from the Sue Wilson kinetics 3D window box die set to finish off card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beautifully simplistic for any Good Luck occasion you need to create a card for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for the inspiration Sara :)</div>

The card we have today is a fun card that would be great for men's cards if you were a little uncertain as to what to make, or prehaps someone taking on a new venture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Created by Sara, she has used the Sue Wilson Easter Basket set to make the basket for the Hot Air Balloon, and just used the patterned basket part of the die cut. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create the balloon itself, Sara has used the basket handle from the same die set and edged the die cut shapes with string/twine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The background clouds are made using the cloud stencil kit and tumbled glass distress ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A sentiment has been created by stamping out the letters from the Hampton art alphabet set and using thread to create a kite tail look.</div>

Although Easter as been and gone for this year, I wanted to share with you couple of beautiful projects that Sara had created. Firstly this lovely Easter card with a Sue Wilson die called Kinetics Easter Basket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The clouds and grass are die cut from Doo Hickey dies and Sara has used tumbled glass distress ink to edge clouds as well as adding a little glitter too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This Kinetics Easter Basket die also comes with a rabbit, bow and patterned eggs too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this 3D version of the basket where Sara has turned it into an Easter table favour and added chocolate Easter eggs. You could easily used this die to make a basket and fill with flowers for a card for anytime of the year or other gifts like a couple of nail polishes as a thank you to a friend, or sugar almonds as the classic wedding table favour. <br />
Sara has threaded ribbon through the handle, the design will take 3mm ribbon and not alot of it so get chance to sort through your ribbon stash and use up some left overs.</div>

A variation of the same theme from our previous post. This super card made by Sara features lots of creative detail:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A piece of black card as been embossed and then gilding wax used to highlight embossing for the base layer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another piece of black card is used and the large corner die from 'Tim Holtz Gearhead dies' is used on four corners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The die cut is removed and gilding wax used on them and they are then replaced back in corners.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More single cogs have been die cut and waxed for decoration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The centre clock is die cut several times and stuck together to give thickness and also gilding wax used on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tim Holtz tissue wrap is used behind the black card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The clock hands even move so you can put what time you like on the clock.</div>

We have another beautiful card made by Sara today using dies cuts and gilding wax.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the background Sara as used medical gauze that she coloured with distress ink refills and pulled threads of it to give a frayed look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tim Holtz gear head dies are used to die cut cogs from a large piece of black card that is cut slightly smaller than card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cogs have had gilding wax put on them and then put back in black card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Text paper was used behind black card so that it shows through cogs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sara has then die cut the large corner group of cogs and some leaves and flowers out of black card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flowers are made from the dies cuts and all pieces have had gilding wax used on them.</div>

<br />
Sara (<a href="http://sarasstampingground.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Inky Fingers</a>) has made this fabulous card by using the Sue Wilson arched window/door die and turning it into a juke box. Talk about thinking outside the box!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really shows that we can use dies in others ways if we look carefully, I would never have thought of using it as a juke box but it works brilliantly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The records have been made using various circle dies and a personalized record sleeve finishes it perfectly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wavy triple border gems looks great teamed with the notes die cut from a Marianne Designs die called musical notes.</div>

Today with have another fabulous creation by <a href="http://sarasstampingground.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sara</a> using the Sue Wilson Kinetics range of dies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sara has created a double window shop scene by making a deep card and adding a recess behind the window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the recess there is little borders to look like shelves and then die cut flowers are put on shelves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the front of the card Sara used two window dies cuts and also added window boxes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flowers are die cut twice to give depth and topiary trees used along the bottom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A stamp set called 'Meet me at the cafe' is used to create the tops of the windows and stamped onto patterned papers. The word Florist has been created using a sizzix alphabet set from way back called 'wingo zingo'.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you spotted the cat sitting in the window among the flowers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This pretty card is made using Sue Wilson dies (listed at bottom).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flowers in the window box have been die cut twice to give depth and little pearls used for the centres.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lovely colours on this card make it very summery and fresh looking.<br />
Love the verse stamp by Stampendous (CRD075) - great for inside the card or part of the front design. </div>

A big bow and a charm finish it all off.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today we have another beautiful card by <a href="http://sarasstampingground.blogspot.co.uk/">Sara </a>using Sue Wilson dies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sara has created a lovely window box scene and even used acetate in the windows to give the look of glass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Striped paper has been used to create a blind in the window and a punched border gives the blind a decorative finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flowers have been decoupaged and pearls used for the centres.</div>

Hello, today I have a card made using the presscut stepper die</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a great die because it takes all the measuring away and also</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
comes with some layering dies with a lovely scalloped edge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used the Darice embossing folder to create the cloud effect on the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
die cut matting pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have then stamped out a few of the Magnolia leaves and coloured with copics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The colours I used are YG03,YG63,Yg67 and G99.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The monkeys are made using scraps of card and the Marianne monkey die</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also used a white gel pen to highlight eyes and belly button.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today we have a card made using the Heartfelt creation stamp called</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'Birds and bloom' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have stamped the image on watercolour card in brown ink and then embossed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with clear embossing powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then using the Tim Holtz blending tool and pads I have used different distress ink pads</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to create a coloured background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stayed away from the leaves because I wanted to paint them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was happy with colour I spritz a little water on the image to add another effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the bird collage again and this time cut out a few details</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that I could decoupage them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I coloured these pieces with distress markers and used silcone glue to add them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/images/0077/00770086093_L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/images/0077/00770086093_L.jpg" border="0" height="320" src="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/images/0077/00770086093_L.jpg" width="227" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The frame is made using the Sue Wilson shadow box die</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and gives a lovely stitched effect when die cut.</div>
