Today I am showing you something a little different and travelling along the home decor route to produce this petty picture frame using Spellbinders Labels 48.
All the steps are shown for you to make your own and the result can be for any occasion that you wish
Other Supplies:
- Wild Orchid Crafts flowers
- Want2Scrap pearls
- Rose patterned ribbon
- Thin Acetate
Instructions:
With Decorative Elements Labels 48 and dies #3 and #4 cut four pieces from silver card and marry two of them together and glue in place. this will give extra strength to the back of your picture frame
Take the glued piece and use the top scrolls on the die cut as a guide and line them up on a scoreboard and score down by about one inch.
Then carefully bend these ... but don't fold them over.
Set the third piece to one side for now
Take the fourth piece and with die #4 from Labels Forty Eight cut out the aperture
With some thin Acetate and the largest die #5 from Labels Forty Eight cut one shape
Choose the photo that you wish to use and make sure that it fits inside the die #5 and cut this out too
Add the Acetate to the frame with the aperture and glue the photo to the third solid panel.
Then neatly add some glue and place the acetate frame over the photo and press together making sure that all the scrolls are lined up to.
So now you have two double layered panels ... one with the photo and acetate and the other is solid
So now you have two double layered panels ... one with the photo and acetate and the other is solid
Add glue to the bent over area only and marry the top edges neatly together, making sure that you have the frame and photo the correct way up.
This will create the "A" frame with the die cut layers and allow your picture frame to stand.

I threaded ribbon around my frame ... but only the front part, otherwise you will fasten it all together and it wont open and stand.
I added in the flowers and some pearls

Make your frame from different colours to suit the occasion ... and this would make a really pretty photo frame for baby or wedding photos.
More tomorrow ...
