Cut a Rectangle Frame with your Paper Trimmer

Have you ever want to Cut a Rectangle Frame a specific size that you did not have a die for? You can cut the perfect size with your Paper Trimmer! It is quick and easy with very little Math involved.

This Video is just over 3 minutes long.

BASIC SUPPLIES:

Paper Trimmer #152392
Item you want to Frame
Cardstock in a coordinating color

TIPS:

Measure the Item you want to Frame. Write down these measurements.

Figure out how much larger you want your Frame and how wide you want the sides to be.

As an Example:
~The item to be framed is 2″ x 3-1/4″.
~I want the Frame sides to be 1″ wide.
~So I add 1″ to the top, bottom, and each side and cut my cardstock at 4″ x 5-1/4″.
~Then cut 1″ from the edge on each side.
~Remove the center piece of cardstock and put in my Item to Frame.
~I always like to attach everything to a piece of cardstock the same size as the cardstock started out or slightly smaller.

Here is the Frame I cut. I did not have time to use it though. I am playing with a NEW grandson and his three brothers.

Now you can Cut a Rectangle Frame the perfect size every time!
