Krislyn’s Inspiration:

Step 4: Adhere several yellow tulips (leftover from Step 3) to the tulips border. Cut a 6″ x 1/2″ strip of heart patterned paper, notch the ends and adhere it to the center of the floral strip. Top with stickers using Foam Squares.

Vacation Border

Step 1: Punch a border using the Scallop Border Punch with Black Cardstock. Trim to measure 12″ x 3″ to create the base.

Step 2: Cut a 12″ x 2-5/8″ strip of red dot patterned paper and adhere to the base. Cut a 12″ x 2-1/4″ strip of heart patterned paper and adhere on the red dot strip, then cut a 12″ x 1″ strip of yellow dot patterned paper and adhere on top of the hearts strip. Place the hearts embellishment on the yellow strip.

Step 3: Punch a circle using the Floral Circle Punch with Black Cardstock. Cut off a 2-1/2″ semi-circle piece. Using the outside of the medium-sized Custom Cutting Circle Pattern and the Blue Blade, cut a semi-circle with yellow patterned paper. Using the same pattern and the Green Blade, cut a semi-circle with red patterned paper and mount it on top of the yellow semi-circle. Adhere to the floral circle so that just the scallops show. Trim off excess from straight edge as needed. After removing a few raised hearts from the embellishment, adhere to the border as shown.

Step 2: Using the Spiky Evergreen Border Maker Cartridge, punch a border with both Black Cardstock and dark green wood-grain patterned paper. Adhere, layered, on the border, about 1/4″ from the bottom edge. Cut a 12″ x 1-1/4″ strip of green fern patterned paper and adhere over the top half of the spiky evergreen borders.

Step 3: Punch a circle using the Floral Circle Punch from the mat the says “The Great Outdoors”. As it is not a 6″ square, punch just the top of the circle. Trim the bottom off so you have a 3″ tall semi-circle, and adhere to the middle of the border as shown.

Step 4: Punch a border using the Songbirds Border Punch with Black Cardstock. Trim and place sections of the border on either side of the floral circle. Add the evergreens sticker with Foam Squares.

Step 1: Cut a 3″ x 12″ strip of floral patterned paper for the base. Using the Spring Leaf Chain Border Maker cartridge, punch two borders with royal blue patterned paper. Cut a 1-7/8″ x 12″ strip of navy patterned paper. Adhere a spring leaf chain border behind each long side of the navy strip so that just the scallops show. Mount this piece on the base.
