Inverted Corner Design Using the #112: Ornamental or the #106: Mixed

• 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.

• 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 opening and any other adjustments you wish to make.

• Under Number of Layers, set the desired number of layers.

• For this example, we used 5 Layers.

• We’re going to select the desired Template for each layer.

• Select #604 Taos Top for each layer.

• 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.

• The Inverted Corner design is done.

• From here, you can click on Parameters and adjust them as desired.

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.
