Fur Buddies Scrapbooking Borders

Furry friends are the best, aren’t they? Many of us love our pets so much we take oodles of pictures of them and dedicate entire albums to capturing the special bonds we share with them. The Fur Buddies Paper and Stickers are PURR-fectly wonderful for those fun and lovable pages, and I couldn’t wait to get my PAWS on the new Paw Prints Border maker Cartridge to make some borders. Hope you DIG ’em!

To make these borders you’ll need:

• Fur Buddies Paper Pack and Stickers
• White Cardstock
• Gold ABC/123 Stickers
• Original Border Maker System with Paw Prints, Scallop Dot, Picket Fence and Heart Chain Cartridges
• 12-inch Straight Trimmer
• 12-inch Decorative Trimmer
• Custom Cutting System with Circle and Rectangle Patterns
• Tape Runner with Repositionable Tape Runner Adhesive
• Foam Squares
• Hole punch

You’re Cute! Border”

1. Cut a 2-1/2″ x 12″ strip of yellow paper.
2. Using the scallop dot cartridge, punch a border with white cardstock. Trim to 2-1/4″ x 12. Adhere to border. Punch another border with navy paper. Trim to 1-7/8″ x 12″. Align “dots” and adhere to white piece.
3. Cut a 1″ x 12″ strip of red paper. Adhere to navy piece and add pet tags sticker as shown.
4. Using the inside of the large circle pattern and the blue blade, cut a circle with light blue paper, stopping the cut with about 1″ remaining. Position the inside of the small circle pattern about 1″ above the uncut circle edge and trim a half circle out with the blue blade, creating a pet tag shape. Repeat with red paper. Trim out the inside of the red circle using the medium pattern and the red blade. Adhere red circle to blue circle and punch a hole in the tag with a hole punch. Add “You’re Cute!” sticker with foam squares and apply to border as shown.
5. Using the small circle pattern and white cardstock, cut first with the blue blade, then green and then red, being careful not to move the pattern between cuts. You will then have 2 different sized “rings”. Repeat 3 more times. Cut circles with scrap paper with the green and red blades. Stack 2 same-size rings together and mount on colored circles. Add to border and embellish with stickers as desired.

Remove paper and finish the cuts with the straight trimmer. Repeat with white cardstock, making the strip 1″ wide instead of 1-1/4″. Adhere white strip to red.
