This year I helped my nephew Kyle make a Christmas present for his girlfriend Hayley. We started with a square wood frame from a local craft store. We used paint to finish all of the sides of the frame then adhered a piece of Candy Cane Designer Series Paper to cover the entire frame with ModgePodge. We shaded all of the sides of the frame with Baja Breeze Classic Stamp Pad ink. The poinsettia was created by stamping the leaf from Fall Foliage in Versamark and embossing it with clear powder. Kyle thought embossing was the coolest thing. Kyle cut all of the poinsettia leaves by hand. We layered the leaves on a circle using Stampin Dimensionals on the top layer to pop the leaves up. We finished off the flower with pearls. We also used the Fall Foliage leaf to create the leaves for the flower.
We also embossed with clear powder some of the trees in the Candy Cane DSP. We cut them out and popped them up on Stampin' Dimensionals. We finished the frame off with a bow made using Real Red satin ribbon and Organza ribbon. We added a red button tied with crochet thread. Kyle was thrilled with the finished product and Hayley loved the frame.
