How to Create Autumn Photo Frames
by Monika Graefling-Gladysiak
Hello, Monika here, I hope you have a wonderful day! Today, I've got an Autumn/Fall project using leaves dies and Rinea foiled paper.
You are going to need Rinea foiled paper: Merlot, Merlot Starstruck, Copper, Copper Starstruck, Gold, Gold Starstruck, Marigold, Marigold Starstruck, Ruby, Ruby Starstruck, Emerald, Emerald Starstruck, Mocha, Mocha Starstruck, cutting dies with leaves shapes, a rectangular cutting die, a pencil, craft knife, black card, scoreboard, liquid glue, photos of your choice.
Step 1:
Cut 6 pieces of black card to 17.5cm x 24cm. Use a scoring board to score: 1cm, 16.5cm (on 17.5cm) and 1cm, 12.5cm (on 24cm). Then, take the rectangular cutting die (14.5cm x 10.5cm), if you don't have a die with this exact measurement use a craft knife to create a die cut. Cut small diagonal lines on the flaps.
Step 2:
Cut 6 panels from Merlot and Merlot Starstruck foiled paper measuring 15 cm x 11 cm, use a pencil to draw big leaves on them, and use a craft knife to cut the shape of the leaves. Adhere the Merlot panels inside the frames and stick the side flaps to create pockets, don't adhere to the top flap.
