Cardmaking with Creative Photo Corners

Hi, it’s Beth today! Are you looking for creative ways to up your cardmaking? See how I played around with the Creative Photo Corners to come up with something different. I needed to make a few masculine cards for Father’s Day and graduation. Using Creative Photo Corners, I made a frame & embellishment design, I think it’s pretty cool!

The embossed “V” on the Creative Photo Corners created an interesting texture when I started stacking and layering them. I created a frame, or a stack of frames made by lining up the Creative Photo Corners.

First, start stacking and lining up the edges.  See how they build into a square!

I stamped a flourish image to the Kraft square, and then inked the outside edges of it. I felt like it needed some kind of design element to it.

3D Foam Squares were added to the back of the Kraft square, and used MyStik™ Permanent adhesive with the other squares.  For the vintage keyhole I used Crafty Power Tape, perfect for heavier or bulkier items.

Next, I stacked the Creative Photo Corner elements onto each other, then added a die cut behind them, and adhered it onto a patterned paper card front.  I stamped a sentiment to finish it off.

Don’t you love the texture the Photo Corners add to this card!
