Monday's 3D Challenge~ Fall 4 x 6 Photo Frame using Day of Gratitude

Hello everyone!

I am posting late this morning. Yesterday while cutting firewood I had a little accident we spent part of the day in the ER. My hand got smashed pretty bad, thankful nothing is broken but it is banged up pretty good. I'll be down for a few weeks, so I know I won't be doing video's for at least a couple weeks. What a month and half I have had! lol So they splinted it and gave me some good drugs unfortunately they make you really sleep! lol

Today's share is the 3D Challenge I posted over on Stampin' Addicts website! If you never been check it out, it is geared towards Stampin' Up! if your a demo be sure to sign up for the demo forums and then give a shout out to me catrules! The challenge is to alter a 4 x 6 Photo Frame! Pretty simple, but so much fun to make a home decor gift! I decorated this one to go in our living room of dh and I.

Directions~

1. Cut 1 piece of Cork Sheet 4" x 6"

2. Cut 2 pieces of Chip Board 4" x 6". This will go behind the Cork Sheet in you picture frame to make it thick enough so the Cork Sheet won't slide around. Remove the glass from  4 x 6 photo frame and place step 1 and 2 inside of frame and close it back up.

3. Cut 1 piece of Cajun Craze card stock 3 1/4" x 5", I stamped the edge with one of the images from Day of Gratitude in Cajun Craze ink. I sponged the edge with Cajun Craze ink.

4. Cut you picture 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" Mount it step 3. I added Metallic Brads at the top. Place Stampin' Dimensionals on the back and attach to the Cork Sheet in the Photo Frame.

5. Cut 1 piece of Specialty Designer Series Paper Autumn Spice 1' x 5 1/4". I sponged the edges with Early Espresso ink, attached Stampin' Dimensionals on the back and ran across the bottom.

To decorate the frame I ran ribbon down the left hand side. I stamped the leaves in the following colors; Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, and Old Olive. Cut them out and placed in the upper left hand corner and right hand corner. I then tied a bow out of Natural Hemp Twine. In the center I added a Designer Button Neutrals. I ran an Antique Brad through the center. On the bottom I die cut out a piece of Cajun Craze and Very Vanilla card stock using one of the Lots of Tags sizzlets.  I punched out the center in the Vanilla piece, I stamped the saying in Early Espresso ink, sponged the edges with Cajun Craze and More Mustard ink. I mounted it to the Cajun Craze one with a Stampin' Dimesional. I then punched 3 holes at the bottom using the Mat Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. I sponged Early Espresso ink around the edges and then mounted over the top of the leaves.
