Instructions for #2022AprilBONUS1

Layout by Krislyn Mattei – CM Independent Advisor

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use a piece of black bricks texture paper as the base for this layout.

Step 2: Position a piece of tan bricks texture paper in the Building Bricks Border Punch so that the top-right corner is aligned at the black mark on the right side of the punch (with the punch facing toward you). Punch, then slide the paper to the right until the punched part covers the same design on the punch body. Punch once more. Remove the paper and rotate it so the punched part is on your left. Gently pull the punched part out of the way of the punch and insert the edge of the paper into the punch so that the edge aligns with the black mark on the left side of the punch. Punch twice and remove the paper. Trim off the tiny triangle pieces that remain. Rotate the paper to the opposite corner and repeat. Adhere on top of the base.

Step 3: Cut a 8-3/4″ x 8-3/4″ piece of red bricks paper and mount to the middle of the layout.

Step 4: Cut a 4” x 4” piece of Black Solid Cardstock and mount a 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ photo on top. Crop another photo to 4″ x 4″. Mount those, along with a 4″ x 6″ photo, on the layout as shown.

Step 5: Cut a 4″ x 1-3/4″ piece of Black Solid Cardstock. Cut a “V” from one long side and mount the piece over the top edge of the 4″ x 6″ photo as shown. Adhere a White Serif ABC/123 Letter Stickers title on the piece. Add stars stickers using Foam Squares.

Step 6: Journal as desired around the red bricks square.
