Default Name Frame Question????

I just did a frame that was 12" but that was one of the shorter frames that I bought. What do you do for the background paper if you need it longer than 12" but don't want seams to show? Does anybody know what I'm trying to ask here?:p

Good question...I was wondering about that too. Maybe do different background color blocks or use some nifty wrapping paper? I suppose, too, that you could hide a seam w/ ribbon...maybe get creative about where the seam is placed. Just some thoughts...I know, I'm no help.

Mine was 20" long. I just used different pieces of CS for the BG. You can see it here:

Hi - I just made one that was 20 in long so I had to piece it...I used blossoms and swirls as the background stamp, made sure one of the letter pieces covered the seam and then attached punched flowers for what was still visible...check it out...good luck...

(it is covered by the punched flowers with the jewel centers)

You could also use the whisper white wrapping paper from Stampin' Up and stamp your own background.
