A Way With Words Christmas Frame

November 27, 2015

Hi Everyone it’s Teresa, and I am so happy to be here today to share one of the “A Way with Words” dies for a Christmas frame that I made for the holidays.  I love to decorate, and one of my favorite rooms is filled with snowflakes, so this will be a wonderful addition to what I already have!

This is how I created the frame:

  1. Start with a shadow box frame that is 9×9 inches.
  1. Cut a piece of the background paper that measures 8×8 inches to fit the back.  Cut a piece of the snowflake printed paper that is 6 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches and distress the outside.  Cut another piece of blue snowflake paper that is 6×6 and distress the outside of it too.  Glue on the brown background as shown.
  1. Cut an ivory tag is 2 1/2 x 5 inches and cut the corners.  Cut out the Santa picture, stamp and the postcard.  Ink and distress them and glue as shown.  Glue on the lazer die to the bottom right.
  1. Cut out the Believe die in the adhesive sheet with white cardstock and peel off the top side.  Add fire opal glitter to cover the sentiment.  Cut out another white believe sentiment and attach under the bottom.  Attach to the inside with 3D Foam dots.
  1. Add ribbon, crystals and flowers to decorate and carefully put inside and attach the back… Enjoy!

Up-cycled Holiday Picture Frame using Suzanne Cannon’s, A Way With Words – Believe

November 13, 2015

Hello Crafty Friends! My name is Kathy Jo and I am very excited to be a Guest Designer on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog. Today I would like to share an up-cycled holiday picture frame using Suzanne Cannon’s ‘A Way With Words’ – Believe die.

Instructions:

  1. Remove glass from frame.  Apply glue and seal evenly on one side of the entire glass surface. Dry completely – overnight is best.  Note that the seal will have a milky color.  It will become clear in the next step.
  2. Apply clear crackle.  Air dry.
  3. Remove back from picture frame. Apply glue along inside edges of frame and reassemble glass.
  4. Adhere double sided adhesive sheet to white card stock. Die cut.
  5. Die cut light blue velvet adhesive sheet.
  6. Adhere both die cuts to glass as shown.
  7. Create triple bow.  Glue to frame with three mini pine cones.

The removed frame back was a personal choice.  I like the look of the glass with an open frame back and I will place mini lights behind the frame to illuminate the crackled glass.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I do hope you enjoyed the up-cycled project and perhaps you will be able to re-purpose one of your frames this holiday season.  Don’t forget to share your Elizabeth Craft Designs projects on Elizabeth Craft Designs Family Facebook page…we would love to see them!

Big Crafty Hugs,

Kathy Jo
