Who doesn’t love denim? Your go-to when it’s time to kick back might just be your favorite pair of jeans. We love denim because it works with anything, can be dressed up or down and it’s super comfy. Our new Denim Blues collection is just like that. Nearly every kind of page layout works great with these comforting shades of blue denim! Here, I’ve paired it up with Fall In, Uncharted and Hello Baby Boy collections.

To create these borders, you’ll need:

• Denim Blues Paper Pack, ABC/123 Stickers and Embellishments
• Uncharted Paper Pack and Stickers
• Cool Serenity Slide-In Pack and Stickers
• Travel Cardstock
• Hello Baby Boy Paper Pack and Stickers
• Fall In Paper Pack
• Original Border Maker System with  Circle Weave, Crown, Buttons, Lace Flower Chain, Stars, Filmstrip and Picket Fence Cartridges
• 12″ Straight Trimmer
• 2-Way Corner Rounder
• All-Purpose Scissors
• Tape Runner and Repositionable Tape Runner Refill
• Foam Squares
• Hole punch
