Step 1 of 11

Trim this decorative paper, from the Mulberry & Gold paper pack, to 6 1/2 x 4 1/2".

Step 2 of 11

Place inside the Elegant Frame embossing folder and run it through your machine. 

Step 3 of 11

"Sand back" the embossed frame with a sanding block or emery board. 

Step 4 of 11

Using the pad of your finger, lightly apply Gold gilding wax over the embossed frame. Buff with a soft cloth, to enhance the shine. Start off by adding the wax lightly, as you can always add more but you cannot remove it!

Pop to one side. 

Step 5 of 11

Wipe over a piece of white card with your anti-static bag.

Ink up the frame stamp, from the Mulberry Frames Stamp and Die Collection, with the WOW sticky, embossing ink and stamp on to the card.

Apply the Gold embossing powder over your stamped frame, then make sure your heat tool is hot, before heat setting the powder.  

Step 6 of 11

Wipe over the embossed frame with the anti-static bag, before stamping the sentiment with the embossing ink, in the centre of the embossed frame. Apply the embossing powder and heat set as before. 

I decided to use my frame as a diamond, but the orientation is your choice. 

Step 7 of 11

Use the coordinating die to cut it out, before popping it aside. 

Step 8 of 11

Tear a panel of vellum from the Mulberry & Gold Vellum Pack, 7" in length and as wide as you want.  

Step 9 of 11

Place the vellum panel just off centre right, tuck the top and bottom edges over the back of the embossed paper and secure on the reverse with double-sided tape. 

Step 10 of 11

Adhere to your white card blank. 

Step 11 of 11

To finish, use foam pads to adhere your embossed sentiment frame to your card. 

You made it!
