Party Hats Scrapbooking Borders

Nothing says “Celebrate” more than cute party hats, right? And the new Party Hats Border Maker Cartridge, combined with one of our beautiful designer collections, takes the party to the next level!

Here, I’ve made some Party Time borders using both the bold, fun, colorful Cake My Day collection and the soft, warm and playful Woodland Whimsy collection. Two totally different takes, but the party hats all say “Celebrate”!

TIP: I’ve made a “Title Box” for each border. You may use them along with the border on your page layout, or you may instead choose to create a card instead! Simply adhere onto folded cardstock, and you have a cute Birthday card to give.

To make these borders you’ll need:

• Cake My Day Paper and Stickers
• Woodland Whimsy Girl Paper, Mat Pack, Stickers and Embellishments
• Woodland Whimsy Boy Paper, Mat Pack, Stickers and Embellishments
• Black Cardstock
• Pink and Navy ABC/123 Stickers
• Original Border Maker System with Party Hats, Star, Circle Weave and Scallop Dot Cartridges
• 4-Way Corner & Hole Punch
• 12-inch Straight Trimmer
• 12-inch Decorative Trimmer
• Custom Cutting System with Circle Patterns
• Scissors
• Tape Runner with Repositionable Tape Runner Refill
• Foam Squares
• Brown Dual-Tip Pen
