Created by OMC Designer Lindsey

Supplies Used:
Fall themed Scrapbook Paper
Corrugated/Fluted Cardboard Paper
Kraft Paper 
Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Rusty Hinge
Colored Misting Spray : Orange Hues
Leaf Shaped Punch or SVG Cut
Deep Edge Punch or Edge Die
Brads 
Instructions:
1. Ink the edges of the paper with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  

2. Use scrap paper to punch or cut out the leaves to use for misting to create the leaf silhouette shapes on the page.  

3. Once the leaves are cut out, lay them out on the page where you want the image to be. Take the mist and spray over the leaves. Leave in place for 2 min. This will allow dry time, after the two min, take the leaves off, this will give the image outline on the page. 

4. Using the large leaf punch, punch 4 leaves in contrasting/coordinating paper. 

5. Cut 3 squares one in brown corrugated cardboard, one in kraft corrugated cardboard and the last one in Artisan paper. These will be what you mount your pictures on. Cut according to size of picture.

5. Tear strips of the artisan paper to layer on the corrugated cardboard. 

6. Use the Deep Edge Punch or Edge Die to create a decorative strip, ink and attach with two brads.

Family Puzzle Wood Shape

Family Puzzle Wood Shape
Created by OMC Designer Jill

Supplies Used:
Wood Designs: Integrated Family (MDF)
Tim Holtz : Distress Stain - Walnut
Tim Holtz : Distress Ink Pad - Vintage Photo
Teresa Collins : Fabrications Canvas Collection Pack
Mod Podge

Instructions:
1. Trace each letter using paper from the collection pack and cut them out.
2. Stain the sides and back of each letter with the distress stain.
3. Glue each piece of paper to its corresponding letter using Mod Podge and a foam paint brush. Press hard to make sure the paper adheres well. I like to use a brayer to really get it down well!
4. File the edges of the wood to take off any excess paper and to distress the edges if that is the look you are going for.
5. Ink the edges using the distress ink.
6. Paint a coat of Mod Podge on the front and sides of the word and let it dry. Make sure the first coat under the paper is dry before doing this to avoid bubbling the paper.
7. Fit the pieces of the puzzle together and display!

Happy crafting!
