In this post, we'll show you how to use these beautiful paper frames for your projects. Here, we are big fans of We R Memory Keepers, we love their collections and, even more, their tools and Punch Boards.
You already know that there are different Punch Board models (their famous cutting and marking boards), each one for making something different: envelopes, boxes, bags, flowers, pinwheels... and the Frame Punch Board is very practical as you can use it to create original frames in different styles for your photos.
One of the main advantages of the Frame Punch Board is that it allows you to make frames of different sizes. You can work from 5 cm. to 30 cm. and you can even add that trendy retro Instax or Polaroid photo style. Undoubtedly, a very versatile machine to create an infinite number of projects. And it is precisely this versatility that makes it different from some of the dies that you may have for frames, with which you personalize measurements.
How To Use Frame Punch Board
And, like the other Punch Boards, the Frame Punch Board is very easy to use. In four steps you will have your frames ready to use:
-
- Choose the paper you like and cut it into a square or rectangle
- Place the corner guides (the two blue guides on the left) at the desired size. Drill holes in the four corners.
- Place the cutting guide (on the right side of the board) at the same size as the corner guides. Cut the four sides with the trimmer.
- You can use the corner punch included in this tool to get that final rounded effect in the corners of your project.
With this tool, you can create a lot of projects and decorate them. From a tag, a LayOut, gift cards, albums, personalised photos... Here are some ideas for using the Frame Punch Board.
● Cards
You can use this tool to cut a frame that you can use as the central motif of a card and decorate it as you like.
● LayOut
Another option is to use our Frame Punch Board to decorate our LayOuts with frames. You can use just one and focus your attention on it or use them to make compositions. By using several different sizes you can create a background to work on.
● Personalise photos
If you want to use the frames not only as a decorative motif, but also as a paper photo frame, the result is amazing. Choose a paper that matches your photos and then use the Frame Punch Board to create a frame in the appropriate size using a scrapbooking paper that you like. You can then decorate the frame with small details and give it as a gift to whomever you like. Use it as a fridge magnet, a photo album cover, create a gift for a christening or include it on your Project Life.3 page.
And now it's time to fill our projects with photos and frames - with the Frame Punch Board, you have no excuse!
