Boo Border
Step 1: Cut a 12″ x 2-1/4″ strip of candy corn stripes paper for the base. Using the 12-inch Trimmer and the Wave Blade, cut a 12″ x 1-3/4″ strip of White Solid Cardstock and mount on the base.

Step 2: Position the cardstock in the Original Border Maker System guide. Using the Ghost Chain Border Maker Cartridge, punch just once at the second “stop” from the bottom. Trim out to measure 12″ x 1-1/8″.
Step 3: Repeat the previous step with the pumpkin orange scattered stars paper, but trim out the ghosts from this piece, leaving just a rectangle cutout.
