Today we have the FABULOUS Kerry here to show you how simple it is to use our 3-D Frame Die and corresponding Windows images! Take it away, Kerry!
Hello Ai friends!
For the 3D frame die. It's super awesome, so simple to use. Just die cut out using a die cutting machine, then follow along the dotted score lines, folded, and insert the tabs into cut slots. To keep everything in place, I used a strong adhesive tape (ex. Scor-tape) on the back of the frame. Viola!
This 3D frame is fit perfectly with the Windows of the World stamps. So, I used the new
And since the challenge is all about Let's Distress Edges or Inks, I have to do a little distressing, lol!
And yes, the 3D Frame Die even have an easel. Just add a piece of strong adhesive within the dotted line then adhere to the base of the frame.
Here is the back view of the window frame.
LePlume markers used:
Brilliant yellow, orange, red, english red, steel blue, olive green, pine green, brown, brownish grey, sepia
Wow, love all three of your projects, Kerry! There are so many great uses for these images and dies, from decoration using the easel or mounting on a card!
It's Thursday, so you know that means we're launching a new challenge! As Kerry said, this challenge is about using inks to add a distressed element to your card!
