are you ready gals??? hang tight let me go get my directions!!!!!
Supplies:
1.photo corners {Optional}
2. adhesive
3. black pen capabale of writing on plastic without smearing {I used a slick writer}
4. trimmer
5. some matching brads{optional}
6. some extra matching flowers {optional}
7. pop dots
8. paper and embellishments that are spring, summer, fall and winter themed
9. four- 5x7 plastic fridge frames
Step 1:
I cut all of my background paper 5x7..in other words I cut out 5x7 squares of paper from the springy paper, blue dot paper, orange stripe paper and fall swirly paper.
Step 2:
I then cut my matching cardstock for my photo mats. REMEMBER to cut them bigger than your 4x6 picture..I cut them 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 and it was perfect...I cut two- white photo mats, one- tan photo mat and one- dark brown mat
Step 3:
I then glued down my four photo mats onto the four matching background papers. Then place your photo corners on the corners of each photo mat. {this is optional but good so that the pictures can be changed out every season!}
Step 4:
I then began to decorate the frames one by one...I did spring, then summer, then fall then winter...I placed the "Spring" title on first and then proceeded to just embellish from there...and you can place the title wherever you like {so it can be on the bottom, top or either side of the frame!}. When I placed the butterfly and flower on the sping frame I used pop dots to give it some dimension! I also used a pop dot to raise the little circle frog embellishment.
Step 5:
Embellish your next frame...I did summer...NOTE: BE VERY CAREFUL WITH RUBONS WHEN USING THEM ON A SLICK SURFACE....GO SLOW AND MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR RUBON IS ON THE FRAME BEFORE LIFTING!....but don't worry if you mess up, you can cover it up with another embellishment like I did! When I pulled up the "summer" rubon, the "r" decided to pull up too! so I just embellished over it with some cute little summer stickers and it looks like I did it on purpose!!!! I then found some matching paper flowers and stacked them up, placed a brad in the middle, pop dotted the back and plopped it on the frame!
Step 6:
Now embellish your fall and winter ones and you are done!!!! {NOTE: on the fall one I cut the bling swirl and use some on the lower left side of the frame }
Step 7:
Place some matching pictures inside your frames and you are done! these are examples of them on my fridge with horizontal pictures and vertical pictures! so these are very versatile and you could make them with leftover scraps and a few cheap plastic frames!
also here is a link to the written class...it will be availale next week in the resources section once Kristin publishes it
