Frame a message for Spring with Deflecto


Spring is almost here!  This month is St. Patty's Day and then Easter!  I love this season; when everything is fresh and green and new life is everywhere!

I will show you how to make a pretty frame into a message board for any season.  This frame has a green border and is perfect for the month of March!


You will need:

Deflecto:  4" x 6" Green Bordered Frame #69574CR; Wet Erase Markers #899103CR
Cardstock:  Black 5" x 7" rectangle
Adhesions:  Paper Daisies & Butterfly
Washi Tape:  1/2" Black with silver stripes
Paper Trimmer
Embossing Folder:  Damask
Embossing Machine

Instructions:

1.  Emboss the black cardstock using the Damask patterned embossing folder.  (Or a pattern of your choosing.)  Insert the paper into the frame.

2.  Adhere a strip of washi tape along the bottom of the frame.

3.  Embellish the frame with the self-adhesive shapes.

4.  Write the sentiment on the front of the frame using a wet erase marker of your choice.



Variation for St. Patty's Day shown below:


Update your frame monthly with new adhesions and sentiments.  Check out the selection of frames and all the great storage products that Deflecto offers here:  http://www.deflecto.com/craft/

Live Life with a Flourish!
