I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Folded Scrap Photo Corner designed and taught to me by Heather Scott.  I find that I am constantly making and using this photo corner and I LOVE it!  It's so SIMPLE to make and makes your projects go from 'okay' to SUPER SMART and SAVVY!


Are you ready to make one?  First, start with a scrap piece of paper.  I used a piece of our delightful Miss Moxie!

Turn it over and fold down one corner.  I use my bone folder just to get a nice, crisp fold.

Now fold down the other corner.

Next, you want to 'even up' the rough edge along the bottom.  I put my corner into my paper trimmer and slice off the edge leaving me with a nicely trimmed bottom.  (hee, hee).

Next, using my mini Kai's, I trim to the inside edge of the paper.

I repeat this on the other side.

Now, I have a 3-dimensional photo corner!

DESIGN TIP:  Trim one of the 'legs' shorter than the other to create an oblong and interesting element.


After cutting out my photo corner I POLISHED it up by stippling black ink around the edges.  Compare the top and bottom photos ... isn't that a GREAT touch!

This is what one side of the photo corner looks like in place (but not adhered) ...

I LOVE this photo corner and hope that you find it as useful as I have!  Many, many thanks to Heather for sharing!
