Hello Spring - Folded Paper Frame Card

I know this is wishful thinking.  I know Spring is months away still.  Yes I wish for Spring.

The Fable Friends stamp set is really about Easter, and Easter this year is in April - a month where Spring is just around the corner.  So I made this Folded Paper Frame  card below with my wish for Spring on it.  I used the tutorial with Splitcoaststampers here to make the folded frame.

The chipmunk holding a flower, from "Fable Friends", was stamped on a 2 3/4" piece of Whisper White and coloured with blendabilities. The dots on the background are stamped in Pool Party and are from "Waterfront".


This art piece is mounted on a 3 by 3" piece of Pacific Point card stock and set aside while I made the frame.

Using the score board, a 4 1/4 by 4 1/4" piece of Gingham card stock, was laid on the board with two of the corners on the 3" score point.  Each corner, in turn, was scored at 1" and 1 1/2", then folded into the center after which the tip was folded back to form the frame.

The frame was unfolded and the image piece was inserted and adhered in the center.   Dimensionals were placed on the inside folds closest to the edge before they were folded to the center to give the frame more volume. Each tip was then folded back and held back with a dimensional.

The completed frame was mounted on a 3 1/4 by 3 1/4" square of Pacific Point card stock and mounted on the embossed Whisper White layer of the 5" square card front.  The Whisper White layer was embossed with the dot to dot embossing folder before it was added to the Pacific Point card base.


A double bow made with the SAB blue organza ribbon was added with a glue dot on the left side of the frame.

The sentiment, from "Fable Friends", was stamped with Pacific Point ink, matted with Pacific Point card stock and adhered to the card front under the folded paper frame.
