The FRAMED card making template double frames the nature scenes you stamp with clear hobby rubber stamps. This template is also ideal for card making projects using photographs! On this page you will find basic tips and techniques for decorating a card using the FRAMED layout complete with pictures of completed card ideas!

• A   12” x 6”  folded in the middle to make a 6” x 6” card
• B  4-1/4” x 5-1/4”
• C   4” x 5”
• D  1-1/2” x 2-1/2”
• E   1-1/8” x 2-1/4” – This is a piece cut from C after the image has been stamped.

   (or a variation of this template)

1. Score cardstock A down the middle and fold giving you a 6" x 6" card.  Trim edges for evenness.  Cut papers B and C to size. 
2. Using your scenic clear stamps and cardstock A, begin stamping your nature scene. Color the picture in with chalks or inks as desired until you are satisfied with the result.
3.  Choose the area on your picture that you want to highlight.  In the example we cut a 1-1/4” x 2-1/4” piece out of the scene.  You can make this part the size and shape that you wish.  This is piece E.  Mat piece E with D making sure that it measures no less than ¼” more than E both vertically and horizontally. 
4.  Mat A with B.  Using 3-d sticky foam, secure D in place to once again complete the picture.  Secure B to the front of the card with 3-d sticky foam.
5.  Punch two holes in the side of the card and run ribbon through them for the final embellishment.  Add a sentiment or thought inside your card or leave it blank for a finished card making project!
