Create an oval frame and background by manipulating the diecuts as shown here, however, it can be done by splicing pieces together as well. To do this cut Deluxe Flower Shaping paper to 7 3/4 x 4”. Use white ink to stamp window so the top peak is at the edge of the paper and making sure the bottom of window isn’t inked as we want to extend this to create a longer oval. Emboss with gold embossing powder and heat set. Clean your stamp, this time only applying ink on the upper decorative section of window and stamp on the opposite side, again making sure the peak is at the edge of the paper. Embossing with Gold Embossing Powder, heat set. Then diecut using window frame outline die, only place the die you wish to cut in the cutting plates, this means the blade at the bottom of the window should not be inside the cutting plates, then diecut. Repeat this on the opposite side, this time you’ll only want to place the decorative peak inside the cutting plates. Next place the inner window frame die and diecut one side, making sure the bottom blade of window isn’t inside the cutting plates. Repeat on other side. You should now have a beautiful oval frame.
