VIDEO & Pattern + Giveaway - DIY Frame

I'm back with the video and the pattern!! Be sure and click through to YouTube and leave a comment to be entered to win. A few notes:

• This is the easiest 3D project I've ever tried and it was perfect the first time.
• Liquid glue is a necessity - strong tape would be a disaster. 
• Hold the frame once one side is completed to let the glue grab.
• If you are impatient, like me, you can add glue if you didn't do the previous step. 
• Please visit the original creator of this idea through the on-screen link I provide in my video - her channel and Instagram account are an absolute DELIGHT. 
• Here's where you can grab the PDF with measurements and instructions after you want the video.
• Here are the dog stamps, the sentiment and the matte, suede feel heavy black cardstock I used.
• Highly recommend a glue press for this.

VIDEO Sneak: DIY Frame & Giveaway!

Hey friends! Life has been busy lately but I have a lot of fun things for you today, including something quite rare for me - a 3D project that is so easy and perfect the first time you won't believe it. But you'll have to wait a day because the video and giveaway go live tomorrow at 9 AM Central. If you want to bookmark it - the video is here.

I used this beautiful dog that reminds me so much of a friend's dog who recently passed - I'm going to send her this little desk frame. The black part - it's hard to see - is this incredible DIY frame that makes perfect mitered corners SO easily! When I come back with the video tomorrow I'll post the PDF pattern with instructions. I followed an Instagram reel to make it and I've truly never had a 3D project turn out this well the first time - it's not my forte - so that tells you how good the instructions are. 

The sentiment is here. 

But there are cats too and lots more critters to be had!! See them all here. 

I'll be back tomorrow with the video! Loveyameanitbye.

Non-Traditional Valentine

Sometimes it's fun to get back to your roots, right? I enjoy doing things that don't result in a "perfect" card, as you know, and sometimes I forget that I don't have to die cut EVERYTHING, even though I'm a die fiend, and that hand cutting adds some whimsy and charm to a card. 

So I have a video coming on this card tomorrow, with some tips and tricks for you, but in the meantime, just enjoy a retro valentine with this sweet, sort of mid-century gal, and I'll be back tomorrow!
