More METAL Ideas!!!

Remember this beauty??? You can see the entire card below.  I've been having a blast with the aluminum roof flashing and came up with some more ideas to share with you!!!

You can make your metal frame any color you want!!!!  We'll start from the beginning…

1. Get yourself some roof flashing at your local home improvement store – you can get taller rolls – but I thought this one was a good size because it was more manageable.  I cut my aluminum flashing with our Craft & Rubber Scissors.

2.  Place your Framelit on the flashing and run through your Big Shot with both tabs closed and an extra sheet of cardstock on top of your cutting plate.  The cardstock acts as a little extra shim to help cut out the framelit.

3.  Now place your metal frame in the Designer Frame embossing folder and run that through your Big Shot like normal.

WAAAA LAAAAA – here's a beautiful frame for your card or scrapbook page!!!

EMBOSSING YOUR FRAMES

1.  You can use a colored Craft (pigment) ink pad and clear embossing power like I did here…or you can use a VersaMark ink pad and colored embossing powder like I did on the white and black frames shown below.  Just smoosh your frame into the ink pad.

2.  Cover with embossing powder and heat with your heat tool.

Here are three frames I made – the 1st one is black embossing powder, the 2nd is white embossing powder and the 3rd is clear embossing powder with Not Quite Navy Craft ink.

Doesn't this look pretty?
