Borders

Borders by Sachiyo Omitsu – CM Independent Advisor

To create these borders you will need:

Step 1: Cut a piece of cardstock to measure 1-3/4″ x 12″ for the base of the border. Cut a piece of designer paper to measure 1-5/8″ x 12″ and add to the base.

Step 2: Cut a piece of designer paper into eight pieces that measure 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ and eight pieces that measure 1″ x 1″. Fold each piece as shown. Add the smaller piece in the middle of a larger piece as shown.

Step 3: Draw a pencil line horizontally on the middle of the border base. Add the square pieces along this pencil line.

Step 4: Use the Mirrored Scallops Chain Border Maker Cartridge to punch two borders from a piece of designer paper and two borders from a piece of cardstock. Adhere the cardstock scallops borders underneath the designer scallops borders. Adhere the border pieces underneath the top and bottom edges of the base as shown.

Step 1: Cut a piece of cardstock to measure 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and fold it in half to make a card base.

Step 2: Cut a piece of designer paper to measure 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ and add to the card base. Cut another piece of designer paper to measure 4″ x 5-1/4″ and add to the card.

Step 3: Cut a piece of cardstock to measure 3-1/2″ x 4-1/2″. Mark the midway point on the 3-1/2″ side. Cut from the midway point to corners to make a tree base as shown.

Step 4: Tear pieces of designer paper into small pieces. Adhere the pieces to the tree base. Trim the excess along the cardstock base. Add the tree piece to the card using Foam Squares for added dimension. Add bling of your choice (stickers, embellishments, etc.) to the top of the tree.

Step 5: Punch a border with the Diamond Arches Border Punch. Cut the border to measure 1″ x 4″ and add near the bottom of the card. Cut a piece of designer paper to measure 1/8″ x 4″ and add to the border. Add a Must Have Laser Title Embellishment to the card.
