4. Trim a couple of photos using the blue blade inside the square pattern. Cut mats for the photos using the red blade. Align just off-center and adhere to page. Add garden vines.

Painted Harvest Pocket Page Title Box

1. Select a 6-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ mat from the Painted Harvest mat pack. (This size fits perfectly in the largest middle opening of the multi-pocket page. The smaller 6″ x 4″ mats fit in the other openings.)

Cake My Day Potpourri of Titles & Tags

1. Hooray: Cut a variety of tags using the inside of the smaller rectangle and both red and blue blades. Punch holes in the tops and add ties with thin scraps of raspberry cardstock. Add Hooray and balloon stickers with foam squares.
2. It’s Your Day: Using the inside of the smaller rectangle pattern, cut a piece of raspberry cardstock first with the blue blade. DO NOT move the pattern. Cut around again with the green blade and then the red blade. Cut a piece of striped paper using the red blade. Arrange elements as shown. Add It’s Your Day stickers, using foam squares for “Your”.
3. Love U: Using the inside of the smaller rectangle pattern and the red blade, cut a piece of thin-striped paper. Cut a same-sized piece of black cardstock, but don’t cut all the way around. Instead, leave a 1/4″ area uncut. Then using scissors, trim it out as shown, creating a conversation box. Mount and add ABC title, and a punched raspberry heart button for the O.
4. Eat Cake: Using the inside of the square pattern, cut a piece of peacock blue cardstock with the red blade. Cut a piece of pinwheel paper with the green blade, and cut a piece of both pink and striped papers with the blue blade. Arrange as shown. Add Eat Cake and cake stickers with foam squares.
