Product Spotlight | Transparent Frames

Hey there, MME fans!  Missy here.  I hope you are all having a great New Year so far.  Today I’m sharing a layout that features some of the Transparent Frames from the Jubilee collections. 

 

There are many ways you can use them, and the gold, silver, white and black colors make them easy to coordinate with any other colors.  Since we are all getting ready for some awesome new releases, I decided to dig into my stash for this one.  I pulled out the Now & Then Milo collection, along with the silver transparent frames from the Jubilee Sherbet collection. 

 

I used them as layering pieces as well as embellishments.  I used two of them behind my photo, and then I cut one up.  The “shapshot” piece above the photo is part of a frame, and so is the silver camera in the lower right corner.  I just hand cut it out.

 

Supplies : Now & Then Milo – “Little Things” Anchor Paper, “Friends” Fallow Paper, “Inspired” Forest Paper, 6x6 Paper Pad, “Documented” Chipboard Elements, Decorative Tape, “Documented” Alpha & Word Stickers, “Little Things” Decorative Brads, “Friends” Accent Stickers, “Documented” Decorative Buttons, Enamel Dots, “Little Things” Label Stickers; Jubilee Sherbet – “Peace” Transparent Frames, “You” Rub Ons; Decorative Tape Sets – Emerald & Blue; Other – Liquitext Gesso, Artist’s Loft Watercolors, Coats Thread, Brother Sewing Machine, Black Sharpie Pen, Thickers, Vellum, Heidi Swapp Color Shine.

 

Here you can see how well they layer in with paper and chipboard.  I even added decorative tape over it.  I love the silver border it gives my photo.  I basically treated it like another piece of patterned paper.

 

 In between all the layers, I added in some thread and watercolored up the background a bit.  I also threw in a few little circles I punched from vellum.

 

Here’s another angle of the top transparent frame.  I just stapled it in place.  I love that you can still see the stitching through it as well as the patterned paper.  It gives a nice subtle touch without blocking everything behind it.  I also layered a button underneath the bigger frame. 

 

This little camera was too cute not to use, so I cut it out just like I would patterned paper.  Very easy to place and embellish on top of it. 

 

Now there are also gold, white and black frames, so you could create so many different looks with all of them.  I found them fun and easy to use.  If you haven’t tried them, I high recommend giving them a shot!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day.
