To create…
1 Cut your background cardstock to 21cm in width.
2 Create a new A4 document in Photoshop. Draw a rectangle on a new layer the same size as your photograph (5×7″) and fill it black. Place this where you wish the photograph to be.
3 Open your chosen digital photograph frame. Select the entire document by pressing ctrl+A (cmd+a on a Mac) and copy it, ctrl+c (cmd+c on a Mac). Paste this into your A4 document, ctrl+v (cmd+v on a Mac).
4 Resize the image so that it frames your black ‘photograph’. Press ctrl+t (cmd+t on a Mac) to activate the transform tool and drag the little square handles in the corner until the frame is the correct size. Press ‘enter’ to exit the transform tool.
5 Create your title using the digital alphabet and place the letters on the left-hand side of the frame. You will need to rotate the letters 90( by choosing Edit | Transform | Rotate 90( Counter Clockwise. You may also need to resize them using the transform tool (See above).
6 Delete the black rectangle and print onto your cardstock.
7 Add the strips of paper to the left-hand side, ensuring the layout measures 12×12″.
8 Print a few extra letters onto the ‘cut off’ piece of white cardstock and cut them out – adhere to the layout over the title using foam tape to add a bit of texture.
9 Print and add other embellishments and decorate the frame with adhesive gems.
