Create an elegant framed card featuring a charming raccoon image surrounded by an embossed snowflake border. This project uses patterned paper with the Snowflake Frame embossing folder to create a beautiful dimensional frame effect in soft greens and blues. The embossed frame acts as a sophisticated border, giving your handmade card a professional, shop-bought appearance.
Select a patterned paper with an animal or focal image in the centre. Choose papers with interesting designs that will show through the snowflake frame.
