Have you seen the Peekaboo Frames Die in the Holiday Mini Catalog? It is so very versatile!
Not only do you get cutely shaped die-cuts, but each one has a pre-cut and pre-scored door that opens up to reveal something underneath! Too Cool! Can you imagine all the possibilities?!
The Holiday Mini features the Peekaboo Frames Die alongside the 25 & Counting stamp set with an awesome advent calendar sample. I don't have that set, but Sandy Hancock from Udderly Awesome Stamping From The Heart created one just like the example in the Mini on her blog: 25 & Counting Advent Calendar.
We saw some other cute ideas at our Too Cool Demo Team Meeting last week. Linda Cox discovered that these cool frames are perfect for little surprises on Halloween projects!
Linda used the Spooky Bingo Bits stamp set (ooooh, these are perfectly sized!) for a creepy Halloween Peekaboo Frames Die window on the front of this card!
I love that the she used an extra piece of card stock to make the door overlap.
Here's another pumpkin-themed card by Linda, also using the Spooky Bingo Bits and the Frightful Sight Designer Series Paper. When it's opened, the spider jumps up at you on an accordion-folded card stock spring! EEEEeeek!
Linda also had a great idea to use the frames to spell out the word "Boo!" LOVE it! The "B" is made by rounding two corners of two square shapes with the Corner Rounder, then stacking them on top of each other. The background is Frightful Sight Designer Series Paper, and Spooky Bingo Bits cats are revealed under each letter. Awesome idea, Linda!
Darla Eigenschink also tried out the Peekaboo Frames Die on this sophisticated Christmas card. She used the Delightful Decorations ornament on the front of her window, embellished with a Rhinestone Jewel. The textured background is courtesy of a Petals-A-Plenty Impressions Folder.
Here are two more Too Cool ideas I found online:
Lunch Notes by Erica Cerwin at Pink Buckaroo Designs. Cute little jokes attached to a lollipop!
Two-Sided Luminary by Krafting wtih Karen. She adhered the doors together to make a base for a tealight.
You can find the supplies to make any of these projects at my Online Store! Order today!
Thanks so much to all of these creative stampers for allowing me to share their projects on my blog!

Try Peekaboo Frames For Scrapbooking!
Although I'm not a scrapbooker, I think these fun frames would lend themselves to all kinds of awesome scrapbook designs. You could put a photo on the front and journaling behind the door. Or, have a "before" photo on the front, and an "after" picture underneath. Or, ask a question on the outside, with an answer on the inside. Plus, you could incorporate them into your designs (like windows of a house, or school, or boat) for interactive page layouts. Endless possibilites!
What ideas can you come up with for use these windows from the Peekaboo Frames Die? Leave a comment!
