Today I created/decorated a frame to celebrate
Memorial Day
Once a month I have the opportunity to post a tutorial over at
She'sASassyLady -- hope you can go visit.
In addition, today is Creative Cutter Room's challenge Thursday --
And as a Design Team member I invite you to participate in this Challenge!
The Challenge: Create A new project using the theme Honoring our Vets -
with a prize... see at bottom!
Here is the tutorial:
I used the K&Co Americana Collection. | These are the cuts using "Stand and Salute" "Independence Day" and "Dude" Cartridges |
I purchased this frame "Bed Post" I was looking for a crackled one, but could not find. | How to create a 3D star from a plain star. |
Score at each an every point. | This is what it looks like (minus one) |
Fold downward at the peaks. | Fold inward at the valleys. |
Play with it my squishing it all together The more you play, the more it works. | Here you see a finished star and a plain star. |
Tip: If you are like me and 90% of the time you want things inked, but the parts/pieces are too small, use a marker instead of ink. Here I am using a brown marker. | For very small intricate cuts, you can just tap the marker on the opening/cut. |
Here is a close up of some of the designs/cuts and the bottom 3D star.
I am really enjoying decorating frames/shadow boxes lately. I hope you liked it!
If you did, please leave a comment! I love reading them!
