This is for the Ways to use it challenge...frugal! Here's the direct link for a full explanation: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I litterally upended my trash can. I dug out my first attempt at last weeks recessed window card. Direct link to instructions on the recessed window: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I actually gave up and threw it away. I chopped off the "card part" and changed it into a picture frame instead. I made a mini easel and glued it to the back so it would free stand. Then I took another look in the trash and found a small green speckled background paper scrap. I stamped the Wordsworth words on it. I used some faux brads, adding crystal effects on them to make them look shinny. I tore the flower and butterfly brad off of a swap card that has been in a drawer for a couple of years; added another layer of petals and using the brad attached it to the frame. That way, I can change out the flower if I'd like. I can also change out the words, as those are just laying in the recessed section. The gold accents are scraps of metallic gold card stock that have been run through the die cutter.
This is about as frugal as I can get. You can now call me a trash picker.
