I saw a card made by Gingerbeary8 where she used the Folder Paper Frame technique and it was beautiful. Aren't all her cards fantastic??? I tried it and it turned out to be easy and fun. Certainly doesn't come anywhere near hers but it was fun.
Instructions are found on the SCS site in the resources section.
I made my card for a couple of challenges, Speedy's Friends #31 and EtsyInspired challenge #116.
I stamped the dove 3 times, embossed with VersaMark Dazzle-Frost, cut out, and popped each one on top of the other for depth. Did the same with the snowflake except it was punched. Add a bow for Speedy's Friends challenge and it is finished.

Benzalina, another stunner for the holidays. I'd like to try that framing too. It came out perfectly. Your dove, the sparkles and that musical score in the b/g is top notch. Of course you know that I love blue and white and I'm sure I inspired you to make this!!! GREAT JOB!! TFS!

Well, if this isn't one of the prettiest cards evah! Love the frosty blue and silver going on. And I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw your technique here...one of the ideas in my sketch book (for new cards to make) has the same technique! I didn't even know it had a name. Bee-autiful job, Benz.
