Feb Vellum Frame
phyllis:
Hi All. Every month I hope to challenge you to do something new or at least a new way to do it. I have pages with different techniques to last the rest of the year. I am going to include directions where they are needed. Some of the pages will have pictures and some won't. Some months I'll have two different ideas with the same technique, but not always. This month is Vellum! Our first 2pg layout has a cute frame and an envelope on it. Here are the directions. Feel free to ask questions. Here goes!
Pg 1 Vellum Frame. I started with a 11x11 piece of pink vellum. Turn it to where the points are pointing up, down, and sideways. Top & bottom: Start at the top point and measure down and mark with pencil; 1 1/8", 2 1/4", 3 3/8". Now the sides from the point: 1 1/4", 2 5/8", 4 1/8". Fold on all marks. Kind of like a fan fold. Cut a piece of print vellum 7"x 8 1/2". Glue to center. Cut 4 pieces of print vellum to fit the middle folds. Glue all folds down with vellum tape. Glue Vellum Frame to a piece of 8"x 9 1/2" cardstock. Do corners. Add a mat or pic to center.
I also added a strip of pink vellum to the edge of the heart background.
Pg 2 Vellum envelope: Cut a 6"x8" piece of vellum. Lay with the 6" from side to side. Measure 3" across the top, mark. And 3" down each side. Cut from the top mark down to the side marks. Now fold both sides in 1 1/2". Fold the bottom up 3 1/4". Cut the bottom part of envelope into a V to match the bottom layer. Cut a little bit smaller than envelope white piece of paper. Insert.
I added a strip of vellum to background and used printed vellum as mats!
Enjoy! I will post a new vellum idea around the 15th!
