How to Create Spellbinder Nestabilities Frames
One of my favourite tools are Spellbinder’s Nestabilities.  My large selection of Nestabilities are neatly organized in CD cases which sit on my table, directly in front of me. When I find my labeler, they will be organized even better.
In trying to come up with a unique idea, I discovered that by placing two Nestabilities on my cutting mat, a unique frame was created. To take this a step further, you can mix and match all kinds of shapes and sizes. If that is not enough, you can kick it up a notch by embossing your frame, as seen in my Glitter Embossing tutorial.
My image is a download from Creativity with a Twist.
Choose the size of Nestabilities that appeal to you. Do you want to cover the entire image or do you have a small image that needs a larger frame to fill your space?
Place your Nestablities Spellbinders onto your cutting mat. Lay your paper on top, and then place the top plate on top. Be careful, you don’t want to move your Nestabilities.
This photo shows two widths. On the left, the inside Nestability that was used was two sizes smaller than the outside Nestability. On the right, the inside Nestability used was the next size down from the outside Nestability. Make sense?
To kick it up a notch, you can emboss your frame. Here I used my Glitter Embossing technique.
