Say Cheese II Cards

Hi everyone!
 
Teri here, and I'm excited to share with you some cards I created with the  Say Cheese II collection. I just love the fun feel of this collection. You just can't go wrong with references to fun times, happy places and "magical memories!"   And I think the collection's chipboard frames are SO fun so I threw a creative challenge to myself to use them on each of the cards I'm sharing with you today.
 
 
I have to admit that I'm a big mix and matcher when it comes to paper crafting. And one of the reasons I really dig Simple Stories' products is you can easily mix and match things together. You can just pick a collection and pull different things from it together. The colors and designs all go together. Everything has been thought out so it just works. I like that a lot! 
 
 
I adhered the chipboard frame over a little bit of patterned paper for this card. Notice how the patterns just go together? LOVE that. I get a kick out of how the mouse's ear just peeks out from behind the frame. So fun.
 
 
To give the frame a unique feel, I decorated it with a Bradz and a couple enamel dots.
 
 
I used three chipboard frames on this card. Instead of using all three in their entirety, I used my scissors to just cut off a portion of two of the frames to use.
 
 
You might say I played things straight with this card. 
 
 
I didn't alter or decorate the frame at all. I used it instead to "frame" the sentiment and a couple stars.
 
 
I went crazy with chipboard frames on this card, using (... wait for it...) four of them! 
 
 
I used just a piece of two of them. And I altered one of the frames by adding the ampersand die-cut to it. 
 
 
I used multiple chipboard frames on this final card as well. Look real close and you'll see there are actually three of them on my card.
 
 
I stacked two frames together on the left to frame the balloons! 
 
 
I envision using this card as a birthday card so I decorated the inside as well. I made a pocket by applying adhesive to just three sides to a strip of patterned paper. And then I added a few stickers. The cool thing about the pocket is I can slide a gift card into (as you see here) or some cash for the recipient.
 
 
I think it will make fun gift! 
 
Thanks for stopping by today! I'll see you again real soon!
