How do I frame a photo with a frame cut file?

Cut the frame from cardstock, then adhere your trimmed photo behind the opening so the picture shows through. For a raised look, use foam tape between the frame and the page so the frame sits above the photo.

What sizes do frame cut files come in?

The vector files resize to any dimension in your cutting software, so you can scale a frame to fit a 4x6 photo, a small instagram crop, or a full-page mat. Check the opening proportions and adjust to match your photo's aspect ratio.

What can I make with frame cut files besides photo mats?

Frames work as title blocks, journaling card borders, gift tags, monogram art, place cards, and label shapes. The frame-a-word structure suits anywhere you want a name, date, or sentiment set inside a decorative border.

What cardstock works best for frames?

Smooth 80-100lb cardstock holds the fine detail on ornate and scalloped frames and stands up to handling. For raised dimensional frames, heavier weights keep their shape. Metallic and foil cardstock make a striking vintage frame.

Are frame designs layered?

Some are. Ornate and vintage frames often separate the outer border and inner detail onto distinct layers so you can cut each from a different tone. The Detailed tag marks the most intricate layered frames.

Frame Cut Files and Photo Borders

Frame cut files give a page or card structure: photo frames that border a picture, decorative labels for titles and journaling, ornate corners, and shaped borders that hold a name, date, or sentiment. They are workhorses, since almost every layout needs a way to set off a photo or anchor a title. The collection covers simple rectangular and circular photo frames, scalloped and ornate vintage frames, banner-style label frames, and tag shapes. Pair Frames with the Floral or Wreath tags for botanical photo frames, with Vintage for an aged, ornate look, or with a sentiment for a framed title block. Files ship in SVG, PNG, DXF, and JPG so they cut in Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio and print for print-and-cut projects. Free frame files unlock with a registered account.
