Here's a project that I started two weekends ago, but had really bad pictures of it to blog, so had to wait to get home and blog. I feel bad because I left a hint on my Lily Ink Pad Facebook Page and then didn't follow up. So, for those of you waiting here it is.
The big reveal:
I found this flower shaped Memory Tray and knew I wanted to feature the new catalog products in a sampler. My basis was the In Color Paper Pack and everything new I own. I will feature this project over three posts in three days so you can see every little detail.
To start, I needed a template, which the tray came with. I am the worst cutter-outer, so I used my paper piercer to poke holes from my template to my paper. I then trimmed the Designer Series Paper.
and put it in each section:
But then, I needed to figure out what to do with the middle section. Our eyes are drawn to the center of such a symmetric frame, so I knew it had to be beautiful. I also knew I couldn't have cut a perfect circle. Did I mention I am not a good cutter? Luckily, I had ordered the new Circle Framelit set so I just had to use the circle that fit the closest and my Big Shot to cut it out. I realized when I did that step that the scallop edge circle would fit perfectly on the frame:
I just put the outer and inner circles on the paper and ran it through the Big Shot. I then had a frame to attach to the frame. Easy and cute. My favorite combination.
As for the rest of the inside, I used circles with folded flaps to make the flower. I ensured that the flaps flipped the same direction. A Doily made the perfect background and I added a Very Vintage Designer Button in the center. The frame needed just a bit more, so I added some pearls.
More to come in the next two days on other frames!
Happy Creating!
