Cuttle Your Pages Friday August 6

It is my pleasure to introduce you to a new feature here at Cuttlebug Challenge called Cuttle Your Pages Friday. Each Friday, members of our Design Team will show you how to use your Cuttlebug embossing folders on a layout for added dimension and flair. We hope you find our layouts inspiring and choose to incorporate some embossing on your layouts.

Today we are embossing FRAMES

The two Cuttlebug embossing folders I used were Tiny Mosaic Texture and Grace's Frame. All brown cardstock is Core'dinations which is perfect for sanding. After sanding both, I added metallic rub-on by Craf-T Products for the mosaic frame. Using my X-Acto knife, I cut out the inside of Grace's Frame and for the oval, I used my Fiskars oval template. Once done, I taped the photos from behind the frame and then added Starform Gold Stickers. Other products used were Prima Printed cardstock, Wild Orchid Crafts, Martha Stewart heart sticker, Martha Stewart fan punch, Nestibilities, Dew Drop and Palette inkpads. Ribbon and bottoms, unknown.

Simply Elegant Paper Crafts

For the frames (and paper strip on one tag) I used Diamonds in the Rough embossing folder on Bazzill cardstock. I used Bo Bunny Diamond paper, Bazzill card stock for tags and frames (frames cut using Spellbinders Nestibilities), Making Memories brads, ribbon and vellum quotes from my stash.

To make sure my inner frame was parallel to the outside, I taped two Nestibilities together so they would not slip slide as I cut my cardstock frames for the 3 pictures.

Nana's Memories and More

                                    

On my layout, I used the Plum Blossom Cuttlebug embossing folder for my frame. This was cut at 5.5 x 7.5. I used a die cut for the middle to accommodate a photo of my dear friend who succumbed to cancer way too early. She was always "The Wind Beneath My Wings". The butterflies were cut out of the paper and embossed using clear embossing powder mixed with glitter. The title was cut using the Sans Serif cartridge and my Provo Craft Cricut.
