Free Framette Files

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Phyllis

Here are two of the Framette files I use with my cards. They will be available for just two weeks so grab them as soon as you can.  They are also available on www.bosskutdiecuts.com as well has a lot of other frames.  I love having digital images for my Gazelle because I can modify them to any size to fit my images and not be restricted to just a single size of a manual die or even several preset sizes.

Cards colored with Copics by Phyllis

Posted on May 12, 2012 by Phyllis

As most of you know we have a Paper Crafting store in addition to manufacturing our dies and Gazelle electronic cutter.  I just added some wonderful new floral stamps to our store. They are “I break for stamps”. My favorites are their florals as they have nice detail and some shading but leave enough room for coloring in the image. They are so pretty when colored with copic markers.

I decided this year to make a special card for each of my daugthers to give them on Mother’s Day.  Two of them are Mothers but two of my daughters are not, so I made the cards to my Daughters and told them how much I love and appreciate them and our relationship.  These cards are very versatile and can be used for all sorts of occasions such as Mother’s Day, Birthday’s ,Thinking of You, Get Well, and many other things. I know I will get a lot of use from all the stamps in this collection.

Materials used: on the card above
I break for stamps Pretty Pansy
Copic colors : flowers, blue: B21, B23, B26  Violet: V12, V15, V17, V000  Y11 and Y15 for the centers.
Leaves: YG93, 95, 97
Background C-1
0378 Framette from www.bosskutdiecuts.com, and 105 Ruffled Butter fly Pop Kut.
I added some violet shading to the butterfly and and some crystal ice stickles to the wings for a little sparkle.  A piece of delicate lace with ribbon binding underneath addes a nice dainty touch to the card.

Card 2 I used a butterfly embossed paper from Best Creations.( the beautiful embossed butterflys do not show on the picture but they are so pretty and have been coated in clear glitter.
Stamp Rose Stamp from I break for Stamps.
Copic Colors: PinkRV 17 and RV10  I highlighted some of the petals with a touch of Y11.  Leaves:  Yg61, YG63, Yg,67  highlighted with a touch of RV, 10 and y, 11
Background BG0000
I used the florette 0366 . I enlarged the middle piece to extend past the frame so my white frame would show up on the what background. That is what is so nice about digital files compared to manual dies is the fact you can rearrange your designs and enlarge or make smaller to have a perfect fit for your image.  Then I simply added a double bow using the seam binding.  The seam Binding makes such nice bows and is not bulky.

Yellow and violet pansies with terracotta flower pot.
Materials:  Pansy Stamp (I break for Stamps), flower pot (I break for stamps)
Copic Markers used:  Pansies, Y 11, Y15, V 15 for edges.
Leaves: Yg 67, 63, and 61
Lady Bug R29, R22
Clay pot: Yr18, 14, 12, 82

I cut the pansies out and also cut out the claypot and positioned them together. I used the new ruffled popkut butterfly as an accent and highlighted it with Y15 copic marker
Then added some seam binding ribbon to the edge.  I just made a rectangle frame in Funtime software and cut a mat and the frame for the flowers and pot.

This is the inside of the card I just changed the border to match the color scheme of each card and then work a personal to each of my Daughters.

Stamps, ribbons, and copics can be purchased at www.bosskut.com
Butterfly and frames can be purchased at www.bosskutdiecuts.com

Have a very Happy Mothers Day

Print and Cut Picnic Card by Lori m.

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Phyllis

Have you ever needed a card quick but wanted something with a little dimension to it?
We all know how pricey those fancy store bought cards can get. Why not just make your own using the print and cut feature?  Well, I guess that would depend on which machine you own.
Check out the amazing detailed cuts you can achieve with the Bosskut Gazelle and the 3 point laser registration.
I’m so proud of my “Pretty in Pink Gazelle”, she does me proud and never lets me down!
Isn’t this amazing?  The tiny ant feelers and those bitty skinny legs…..” all” cut with my Bosskut Gazelle.
Easy to make, first, I selected the graphics I wanted to use, I chose the BBQ set from Lettering Delights. For these graphics, I used a matt finished brochure paper and printed in photo quality on my Epson printer.
To give the cutout images a little more pop, I added some glitter glue. See just how thin those feelers were, I’d never had been able to cut these out by hand. Fabulous, just fabulous!
Thanks for looking!

SHADOW BOX MOM CARD by KENYA GUARD

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Phyllis
Hello Everyone,
Shadow box cards are one of my favorite projects to do! When I discovered these two years ago, I was hooked! Yes they are cards, but they can double as a beautiful home décor piece. I HAD to use the newly released RufflesPKButterfly and ParkerPKflower! Both files are so cute and adds dimension without the bulk!
For this card, I cut an 8.5”x11” sheet of card stock in half. I scored both pieces at 1”, 1.5” 7” and 7.5” you will fold the papers using the mountain valley fold. These two pieces forms the box. Then you
can use your BossKut Gazelle, BossKut die or punch to cut a shape in the middle of one of your panels. This will become the front of your card.
I typically decorate the inside before the outside of this type of card. Since the RufflesPKButterfly file and the papers are so pretty, I did not want to do too much. Usually, I add a nice sentiment in the inside, but it will go on the back so the focus will be on the butterfly. I added a rhinestone flourish. Once the inside is decorated, adhere the back panel to the front by meeting up the outer folds.
On my sample, I dry embossed the side panels for a
decoration (do this before ad
hering to the back panel). I also added pattern paper to the front to
coordinate with the pattern paper inside of the box. To decorate the outside, I
used the ParkerPKflower file.
I also used cherry blossoms (you can make these with the Forget Me Nots file J if you’d like) as fillers. That beautiful lace came from Ms. BossKut…ah, it is gorgeous (thank you)! This was also sprayed to
match the pattern papers. I added flourishes and the sentiment to complete the outside.
The sky is the limit to what you do with these! I have made them to be interactive or stand alone as I did for this one! Please remember to pop on over to BossKut.com for files, die and supplies…you like how that rhymed LOL!
Have a wonderful day, Kenya~  Bosskut Design

Scallop Bosskut PopKut Card by Lori m.

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Phyllis

I just love making and paper piecing flowers. When those new Popkut designs come out, I have to give them a try, who doesn’t like pretty flowers?
Here I went with just one flower and scroll to really showcase the beauty of it; I used a round scalloped card which I embossed.  Sometimes, simplicity says it all and the Bosskut Gazelle cuts it all.
The pretty Popkut flower is a new release from www.bosskutdiecuts.com which is called,“ Parker PK Flower by Judy Stark ” Gorgeous, just gorgeous!
