Peacock Feather Frame - Party Prize

While I very rarely remember who wins what at my parties I do remember who won this one...MY SISTER! The reason it is so easy to remember is because when she opened it and pulled it out of the box I went "OOOHHHH!!" like it was the most gorgeous thing I had ever seen. Which was totally stupid of me because I made the dang thing! *okie smiles remembering how she and everyone else in the room cracked up laughing at her reaction*. I will attribute my reaction to it being over 2 hours since the party had started and my having about 5 glasses of Hurricane Punch by that point.

Supplies Used:
Webster's Pages Paper
Webster's Pages Embellishments
Colorbox Chalk Ink
Prima Bling

I used a fairly neutral sheet of paper for the base of the frame and then added a 12x12 vellum overlay on top. Since there was a lot of printing on the vellum I wasn't too worried about the tape showing around the edges.






Once again I used one of the little cards that were included int he box as a way to add some sort of words to the frame. I really can't tell you how much I love the Webster's Pages boxes! All of the embellishments were from the box, as was the paper. I thought it looked a little busy but since all the elements went so well together I doubt the picture will have a hard time being the focal point.

Tomorrow will be my last post of the Christmas Party prizes. There will be downloadable file in tomorrow's post and hopefully I am going to start having more files to share in the Make The Cut and SVG formats.

  6. Ohhhhhhhhh Pretty! I totally get your reaction at seeing in when it was opened, as that is my reaction too. You did an awesome job with the vellum, I don't see any tape at all.

    Love the colors and embellishments too. It's another beautiful work of art by the craft MASTER!

  15. This is definitely my favorite frame that you made this year. Question. Does the frame have a clear plastic in front of the picture to protect it? I've seen you do amazing things with these frames, but everytime (okay, like 5-6 times) I look at them in Michael's, I always wonder if the picture someone puts in them will be protected, worry it won't, and put them back...

    Also, where do you sign up for the Webster's warehouse sale? Their stuff is beautiful!

  16. The frame comes with a glass protector for the picture. I order mine from Consumer Crafts. I wasn't aware that Michaels has them. I will have to look next time I am there!

    The Webster's Pages warehouse sale is twice a year. I think you can go to their page and sign up for newsletters and they will let you know when they have them.

  17. Ana I just use my ATG gun to put the paper on the frame. The frame is composite wood and isn't so smooth that the tape won't stick and smooth enough that the paper goes on seamlessly.

    1. Oh, ok. Cool. I wondered because i thought that you used glue so that the corners wouldn't come up but then thought that the glue would be messy and bubble up the paper. Thanks for the info

    Headed to both sites now! (after I check out the butterfly frame in more detail...)
