Remember to choose colors of paper and embellishments that complement your photographs. Colors chosen here reflect the colors and theme of my photographs, but may not be the best color choices for yours.
Instructions
  1. Use the Square Burst embossing stencil and Shape Boss to emboss a border around all 3 sides of the burgundy cardstock.
  2. Emboss the same design along the bottom edge of the black cardstock aligning the pattern and moving the paper over to finish.
  3. Apply adhesive to the back of the burgundy cardstock then position on the upper part of the black cardstock leaving a half inch border at the top and each side. (Refer photo for placement.)
  4.  Cut a strip of tan paper 2” x 11” for the title. Aligning the edge of the paper with the end of the pattern on the border punch, punch the design along the edge of the strip. (Print titles before embellishing for correct spacing.)
  5. To mat a 4 x 6 photo, cut a mat 5.5 x 7.5 from tan cardstock. Use the sunburst border punch to punch the design around the edge of the mat, starting and finishing one half from the edge of the mat. Use the 3 in 1 punch to punch a design in each corner.
  6. Attach the photograph to the center of the mat with adhesive. Cut a 3.5 x 8.5 strip of green paper. Slide through the openings on the mat as shown. Attach the matted photograph to the center of the burgundy cardstock and the title beneath the bottom edge.
  7. Make a hole at each corner of the burgundy paper with the tip of the scissors. Insert a star brad at each corner. Wrap fiber around the stars. Tie ends at the center below the photograph to finish.
    Tip:
    Place the template on top of the embossed design then chalk lightly if desired.
