Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to week 4 of the Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop. Today's featured Sizzix die is the ScoreBoards, Frame & Frame Back w/Stand by Eileen Hull.
This die is a really cute shape with scallops and flowers, unfortunately, most of my photos seem to be of my son so scallops and flowers didn't seem to work for me. I was sitting and eating a pizza with my son while describing this die shape and suddenly looked at the pizza box.
Pizza boxes are made of corregated cardboard and this die is a ScoreBoard die designed to cut thicker boards. A frame made out of the pizza box perhaps??? In the middle of eating a pizza slice I grabbed a pair of scissors and started to cut off the top of the box so it wouldn't get any grease stains. Luckily my son is somewhat used to my sudden creative impulses.
Since the pizza box represents something that my son really likes, I decided to create the entire shadow box of things that remind me of him. Off I went to collect bits around the house.
I added Vintage Transparent Deco Tape along the top of the Frame Back and more Washi Tape along the left side. I also added Distress Ink and rubber stamped a truck image using a Tim Holtz's clear stamp. I did not want to cover up the fact that this is made from a pizza box.
I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy my project using the Frame & Frame Back by Eileen Hull for Sizzix. Be sure to click on the Forward or Back buttons in the Triple Play blinkie on the right to see what other talented designers created with this versatile die.
