Floating Frame
Hello crafting friends, I hope your hump day is going well. It is rainy here today, so it makes for a lazy day, not necessarily a good thing. lol I did a floating frame for some friend's anniversary along with a tag to hang from it. I will be apologizing to my friends, they are more like family to us, but I had all intentions of giving this to them for their anniversary back in Oct. Yes, back in Oct.!!! I had forgotten all about cutting it out and putting it on glass. So when I saw it, I got busy right away. The SVG file I used came from SVG Attic. I used a system's font for their last name that was in my computer and stretched and sized their name to suit my space, I also sized and stretched the SVG "M" to get what I wanted. I cut this on my Cricut Explore on the vinyl setting. It cut perfectly with the "kiss" cut. Using transfer tape, I placed it on the cleaned glass using my T-Ruler to get it as straight as I could. Trust me even with a ruler I don't get things straight, this is as good as it gets with me. lol
I then set to making the tag. I had a pre-cut tag that came in an order as a freebie, it also came with the flowers. So I took some scrap paper and dressed up the tag, added a bow I had already had made using scraps, I used the SU Bow Punch to make it. Then I stamped my sentiments on the tag, tape it on the back of the frame and let it hang over. The Cardz TV Stamps I used are "Congratulations" and "Count Your Blessings" and you can find them here. I crossed out the "I" and "my" to put "we" and "our".
As always thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule to visit me. Your comments always make my day! Crafty hugs, Brenda

This is so beautiful!!!! I love, love, love it!!!! The tag is most wonderful!!! Love that bow, the flower and the perfect sentiments!!!! :)
Brenda, you knocked it out of the park with this hand-made beautiful gift! It's so thoughtful and meaningful - the kind of gift that keeps on giving through the years! I love that beautiful tag too! Your friends are so fortunate to have you for a friend, and better late than never always works :)
Beautiful. Now you need to take a trip to my house to teach me how to cut vinyl on my Explore.
Oh my! What a fantastic gift for an anniversary. I'm sure the delay in getting this will not matter one little bit Brenda. It is beautiful. It will be cherished I'm sure.
Hugs and Blessings to you both.

Now it's an even bigger surprise.
They won't mind that it's late, it's beautiful. They will treasure it. It's a fabulous meaningful gift.
This is awesome, Brenda! I'll bet they're really glad you remembered this!
Oh my word, Brenda, this is just awesome and I love it. I've been wanting to make some wall art for our place, but have very little wall space. This would be perfect and I could size it smaller to fit in my tiny place.
Keeping you and hubby in my prayers. I rarely watch 60 minutes, but I happened to see that cancer treatment episode. I just know this is the answer you've been waiting for.
Hugs, Jeri

Your gift is beautiful and so thoughtful, Brenda. Your friends will certainly cherish it.
A wonderful tribute gift to your friends. It looks perfect to me - and straight too! You do amazing work with this tool and your cartridges, and this will look so nice in their home. They will appreciate your care for them, your skill and this wonderful piece to enhance this special occasion for them. You rock it! TFS & Big hugs. MM
Brenda, this is stunning; a thoughtful, personalized gift that anyone would be proud to hang in their home! Of course, I'm completely smitten with it, given my last name begins with M! Yet again, your generosity and kindness is so incredibly touching and inspiring! You are such an incredible individual; a blessing to all of us!
Hugs~c
This is amazing Brenda, it's a very precious gift to treasure, your friends are very fortunate.
Prayers, blessings and love

This is such a great idea, I love it and I'm sure they will love it too! :)
What a cool idea for a anniversary present. It came out lovely. And I am just like you, I can't get things straight even with a ruler. In fact, I tend to do worse with the ruler than when I eyeball it. :-) The tag is beautiful too. I really like that sentiment.
