Instructions
Start by creating a template for your photo frame. Cut a square/rectangular piece of paper that fits perfectly into the frame.
Next, use your photo frame to determine which part of your card you want to frame.
Place your template over this area and trace around it with a pencil.
Use your scissors to cut pit the chosen vintage card image.
Then, use your template again to trace a square/rectangle out of coordinating scrapbook paper. (You could also use another part of the given card or another Christmas card.)
Cut this out with scissors.
Use your glue stick to glue the two wrong sides together.
Open up your photo frame and place the image inside. Close the frame and secure the clasp on the side.
If you’d like, you can embellish your ornament with a ribbon and/or a jingle bell.
