To create these borders you will need:

Just Add Water Border

Step 1: Cut a 12″x 2-3/4″ strip of butter yellow abstract paint daubs tonal paper for the base. Using the 12-inch Trimmer and the Scallop Blade, cut a 12″ x 2-3/8″ strip of abstract paint daubs tonal paper and adhere on the base. With the 12-inch Trimmer and the Straight Blade, cut a 12″ x 2″ strip of seaweed border designer paper and mount on top.

Step 2: Using the Friendly Fish Border Punch, punch a border with each butter yellow abstract paint daubs, soft medium orange stripes, red-orange abstract paint daubs, bright blue waves and aqua abstract paint daubs papers. Adhere the butter yellow border on the border. Cut out various fish from each of the other hues and adhere as desired on the border. Pop a few up with Foam Squares for added dimension.

Step 3: Add embellishments and stickers.

Untamed Magic Border

Step 1: Cut a 12″ x 3″ strip of bright blue waves tonal paper for the base. Using the 12-inch Trimmer and the Wave Blade, cut a 12″ x 2-3/4″ strip of glistening ripples designer paper and adhere on the base.

Step 2: Using the swell edge of the 12-inch Decorative Trimmer, cut a 12″ x 2″ (at the widest point) piece of aqua fishes tonal paper. Adhere on the border.

Step 3: Using the swell edge of the 12-inch Decorative Trimmer, cut two 12″ x 1/2″ ribbons with water ripples vellum paper. Adhere on the border using Vellum Tape Runner Refill. Burnish to hide the adhesive.

Step 4: Using the Friendly Fish Border Punch, punch a border with cool stripes designer paper, but turn it to the reverse side before punching. Punch a border with soft medium orange stripes designer paper. Trim off the long fish at the bottom. Adhere on top of the cool stripes fish (they should be going in the opposite direction).

Step 5: Adhere embellishments and stickers, popping some up with Foam Squares for added dimension.

Step 2: Cut three 2-1/2″ x 1″ strips with circling schools of fish designer paper and two 2-1/2″ x 1″ strips with multi-hued blocks designer paper. Adhere on the border as shown.

Step 3: Using the Friendly Fish Border Punch, punch a border with cool stripes designer paper (reversing it to the back side before punching). Punch another border with soft medium orange stripes designer paper. Trim two 2-1/2″ sections off both borders and adhere to the border as shown.
