Fall is definitely in the air here on the west coast of Canada and to be honest, I'm really not upset that Fall has finally arrived. Don't get me wrong, I do love Summer, but there is something about Fall when you can consume tea all the time as well as wear scarves and not have people giving you crazy looks.
So to kick off the start of fall, I created this vintage Beautiful Fall Altered Home Decor Frame for my first project for Xyron's Maker Team. I'm thrilled to be apart of this talented team and have been loving using some of the Xyron products in my projects. So grab your favourite Fall beverage and learn how to recreate my Beautiful Fall Altered Home Decor Frame at home.
To start, you'll need to cut a an oval out of one of the patterned papers from the Autumn Sunset Collection from Prima Marketing. Use Xyron Tape Runner and run the adhesive along the edges of the oval.
Adhere the oval to the inside of the frame.
Die cut a 3 3/4" Stitched Oval out of the same collection of patterned papers. Distress the edges of the stitched oval. Ink the edges of the stitched oval using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Run the 3 3/4" stitched oval through Xyron Creative Station Lite.
Adhere the stitched oval to the middle of the oval that is adhered to the frame.
Die cut the 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" Diagonal Stitched Fishtails out of the same collection of patterned papers. Distress the edges of the fishtails. Ink the edges of the fishtails using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Run both fishtails through Xyron Creative Station Lite.

Adhere the larger of the two pieces of ephemera to the left hand side of the 3 3/4" stitched oval. Adhere the smaller piece of the ephemera 1/4" from the top of the fishtails.
