To create a square tulip frame, start with a 4 1/8” square of cardstock. Run it through the Big Shot like you normally would. Then flip your cardstock around 90 degrees and move embossed cardstock around until lined up in already embossed areas. You can also tell by the look through the plastic. Run it back through the Big Shot half way only. Isn't that a great way to get double duty out of your Framed Tulips Embossing Folder? The bow was made using a fork - yes, you read that right, a fork! Here are the directions but you might prefer seeing it. Just Google fork bows and you should find something pretty easily. Fold ribbon in half and wrap around entire fork with tails to the right. Pull bottom ribbon around to the front and tuck down through center tines below ribbon. Wrap remaining tail around to the front and tuck down through center tines above ribbon. Tie one time in the back and pull off of fork.
Thanks for posting this about the square tulip frame. I had wondered how people were doing this. It does add more versatility to this embossing folder. The fork bow is so cute and tiny (tiney, fork, ohhh, bad pun...) No really, I plan to look on YouTube for a video, as this sounds interesting.
