Card Frame Tutorial

Today I am going to share with you how to create the cute frame that is in this card. Isn't that just fantabulous! It is nice to create some dimension, but does not take a whole lot of effort to create, so follow along, and you can have one too!

Step One: You need to cut a piece of patterned paper 

4 1/4x 4 1/4 and a piece of colonial white cardstock at 

2 3/4x2 3/4. 

Step Two: Find the center of the square by drawing a light line from one corner to the other. Where the two lines meet is where you are going to fold your corners to

Step Three: Fold all corners to the center of your square, this makes another square.

Step Four: Take the corners again and fold them out to the edge of your square as shown in the picture. Then, put your 2 3/4 square of colonial cardstock in the middle of your frame

Step Five: Put your 2 3/4 square of colonial cardstock in the middle of your frame

Step Five: Take four bitty brads and secure them on each of your tabs. Then, create the element that you want to have in the center, such as a flower, or choose a stamp sentiment.

Step Six: attach them together and you have your frame. There are so many possibilities for this frame so try out a few!

{Supplies Used: Veranda B&T Duos, Colonial Bitty Brads, Colonial Buttons, Colonial White Cardstock}
