Thankful & Blessed DIY Framed Inspiration…

One of my favorite parts about decorating for the seasons is creating new decorations

to add to the mix. The Thankful & Blessed Framed Inspiration uses an inexpensive

Dollar Tree* frame, a few pieces of scrapbook paper, and StyleTechCraft Luster vinyl.

Directions:

• Choose three pieces of coordinating 12″ x 12″ scrapbook paper to use in the frame.  
• Cut the background paper to fit inside of the frame opening.  (mine measured 11 ½” x 11 ½”)
• Cut and adhere a 4″ strip of paper to go horizontally across the center of the background. 
• Using an SVG File (from the Silhouette Store) and my Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*, cut the words “Thankful & Blessed” out of StyleTechCraft Champagne Luster Adhesive Vinyl*.  I sized my words to fit on a 4″ x 5 ½” piece of mat board*.

• Cover a 4″ x 5 ½” piece of mat board* with decorative scrapbook paper.
• To cover the white core of the mat board, edge the mat board using a bronze chisel point paint marker.
• Cut a 4 ¼” x 5 ¾” piece of Bronze Luster Vinyl*.  Apply the vinyl centered onto the strip
• Adhere the covered mat board* centered over the Bronze Luster Vinyl*.

• Place a piece of vinyl transfer tape* over the vinyl words.  Rub over the vinyl transfer tape* with a vinyl scraper tool to make sure the words have transferred.  Lift and remove from the backing paper.
• Apply words onto the covered mat board*.

• Rub over the vinyl words with the scraper tool to make sure the words have transferred to the mat board.

• Gently lift and remove the transfer paper.
• Add to the frame with or without the glass.

Another thought…after the Holidays, you could also add photos to the background

for a quick and easy scrapbook page.
