String Frames dies + Treetops Glisten

Hi there! Welcome to day one of the September Papertrey Ink countdown.  

So glad you could join me!  Today I bring you a look at the new String Frames dies, by Erin Lincoln.  In typical Erin style she has found a way to add string, twine or embroidery floss to any project with ease.  The dies are unique!  I hope I do them justice today by showcasing them in an unexpected way.

Also, I'll be featuring my newest collection of Stamping Simply goodies for the month... Treetops Glisten stamps, pattern paper, and dies.

 A holiday themed trio.

From one of the pattern paper sheets included in the Treetops Glisten pattern paper pad, I die cut the largest of the String Frames dies and threaded cream and gold twine through.  I fed the ends out onto the front side so that I could tie them together in a pretty bow.

I touched up the pattern paper with a bit of shine using a Wink of Stella brush pen in gold. 

I do love how the red embroidery floss pops off of the black and grey Treetops Glisten pattern paper on this card.  This touch was added using the smallest of the String Frames dies.

I touched up the card front with little gold ink ornament dots, using a stamp sized perfectly for most of the trees in the Treetops Glisten stamp set and pattern papers.  Typically you would thread the twine so that it would criss cross in the corner, but again... I'm going for a different take.  

 To me this card looks a little like a throw back to the 50's.

I used the medium sized String Frames die (the bottom portion only) and threaded a backdrop for the Treetops Glisten scene.

Well, that concludes today's look at String Frames dies. Just remember... all that you have seen today will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning September 15th. 

Now, be sure to visit Papertrey Ink blog and Erin Lincoln for more details on today's featured new product.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
