Friday Fun-day with Sweetest Thing

Framed in Sweets Tutorial

Making presents for those you love can be fun and full of pizzazz.  This picture frame features many images from the How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper (DSP) which are die cut using the matching framelits from the Jar os Sweets Framelits.  You can even cut out the little candies from the striped background of the candy jar paper!  This frame is ready to be mounted.  All I would add is a piece of cardstock for a mat, and adhere a picture to the mat, then adhere the frame on top.  This piece is slightly smaller than 8" x 8" so it would fit any square frame 8" x 8" or larger.

Simply cut out a bunch of shapes from the DSP and from coordinating cardstock, lay out the dies in on the frame to your liking and adhere them in place.  You can make any celebration a sweet one with something special that is handmade.
