Folded Frame Card



Begin with a 13 cms square of double sided paper.








 

 


 Fold in half diagonally.




Open out and fold in half diagonally in the other direction.








 


Open out again, then fold each point into the centre, lining up with the + made by the previous two folds. 







 





It should look like this.









 

Next Fold back the points.  I only did one fold back.......



 .....but you could fold the points back in.  Alternatively you might chose to even out these folds so that they are more evenly balanced.










I then cut a square piece of card to be inserted, about 9cms.


I stamped on this, and painted using a water brush and some Distress inks.  It was then secured with four eyelets, but you could use brads if you prefer.

I then cut a square card (approximately 6", then added a slightly smaller square of a complimentary patterned paper.  I decided to angle my frame, but you could place it straight if you prefer.  An addition of a greetings tab .... Et voila !!!


Enjoy,
Christine.
