Framed Wisemen ~ with tutorial !!

This is what the frame looks like, partially ... lol. I did add some dazzling diamonds to the star for some sparkle - glitter is ALWAYS  good! So, here is how you get the framed look.

I saw some cards on Pinterest with the frames cut on the front of the card with the image underneath, but I could tell they used Nestabilities, so I pulled out my Framelits Labels. Here is the sizes of cardstock you need : the white in the photo is 3 3/4 X 5, the navy is 4 X 5 1/4. The card base was white and is the regular size, 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. I used the biggest Framelit I could fit on the white without cutting over the edges and ran it through the Big Shot.

I thne glued the white onto the navy layer. This way I could guarantee no shifting while they went through to cut the navy cardstock. I had everything ready on the Big shot and laid the cardtock down. I got the next smallest Framelit and centered it on the navy within the white. I laid down the top plate and ran it through.

You now have a perfectly centered frame and then as well, 2 cutouts that you can use on other projects. Would this not be a great way to send your own family picture on a card ?!?

I did the stamping of the sentiment right after this and also pierced the edges, for a bit of texture.

Here is the finished card. The navy and white frame was added onto the cardbase with dimensionals. I could not find any place to put a ribbon, because of the sparkly star, but it looks like a classic card, I think. Try the tutorial, have fun and happy stamping !!
