Info

These instructions will show you how to create an Inverted Corner Design.
This design gives the appearance that the corners of each layer have folded inside-out into the design.
Traditionally, a design like this would require a specialized Template or editing it in Trace.
Now with the introduction of the #112: Ornamental template and the existing #106: Mixed template, you can now make this with a few simple clicks.

Click New Mat Design on the FrameShop Main Page.
Click Cancel on the New Openings Screen.
On the Openings Tab, bring the template #112: Ornamental or the #106: Mixed onto the Editor.

Info
NOTE: Selecting different Templates and adjusting their Parameters will give you an unlimited range of creative options.

Click on the Properties Tab.
Enter the desired size for the Ornamental openingand any other adjustments you wish to make.

Info
Adding the same Template to each layer is different than just selecting that Template and making it 5 layers. Selecting the #605 Taos Top and making it 5 layers will simply Offset the next layer from the first layer, rather than stacking the layers on top of each other. This way, we can make adjustments to each layer separately, including Parameter adjustments.

Info

NOTES:

Try using different Templates.
You can also adjust the Template’s Parameters which will give you endless creative options for your creative abilities.
Remember: Have fun!

Here are a small sample of different Inverted Corner designs along with what Templates were used to create them.
Feel free to mix up the Templates selected; it doesn’t have to be the same Template selected within the design.
Feel free to mix up the Parameter settings. The same setting doesn’t have to be used on each layer.
