A Woodland Wonder Of Evergreen Memories: Winter Scrapbook Borders

Posted on by Krislyn Mattei

When deciduous trees go into dormancy and drop their leaves, what’s left are sturdy brown trunks and branches that seem to blend into the frigid landscape, only to be forgotten until budding spring. But evergreens never take a break; they withstand blustery days and stand out against Old Man Winter’s white coat. The frosty scene turns into a magical wonderland and a forest of opportunities — snowshoeing, nature walks, birdwatching and skiing. Also to add to the list? Making these winter scrapbook borders featuring the Treeline Border Maker Cartridge!

To create these borders you will need:

Comfy Winter Evenings Border

Step 1: Cut a 12” x 3” strip with beige V geometric paper for the base. Cut a 12” x 1” strip with navy line art leaves paper and adhere about 1/4” from the top of the base.

Step 2: Using the Treeline Border Maker Cartridge, punch a border with White Solid Cardstock. Trim to 12” x 1”. Punch a border with green plus signs paper. Trim to 12” x 2-1/4”. Adhere the white border just behind the green one and mount on the base, about 1/4” from the bottom edge.

Step 3: Using the wavy edge of the 12-inch Decorative Trimmer, cut a wavy edge on a piece of White Solid Cardstock. Trim to 12” x 1-3/8” and adhere on the border, about 1/8” from the bottom edge of the green piece.

Step 4: Using the swell edge of the decorative trimmer, cut a 12” x 5/8” strip with baby blue pinwheel quilt paper and then a 12” x 1/2” strip with White Solid Cardstock. Layer and adhere on the border as shown.

Step 5: Add embellishments and a sticker title, popping some up with Foam Squares for dimension

Step 3: Using the Treeline Border Maker Cartridge, punch a border with Avocado Solid Cardstock, but only punch every other “stop” (three punches instead of six). Trim off the border to 12” x 1”, keeping the 1/8” slivers intact on the punched areas. Adhere the border on the baby blue strip.

Step 4: Cut six 7/8” squares with White Solid Cardstock and adhere them on the unpunched areas of the avocado strip. Cut three woodgrain and three navy line art leaves 3/4″ squares. Adhere on the white squares, alternating hues.

Step 5: Using the Treeline Border Maker Cartridge, punch a border with both navy line art leaves and woodgrain papers. Trim out three large trees from each and adhere on the squares as shown.

  6. I love all the borders, but especially the multi-colored trees inside squares. That is so useful! I can see me using it again and again, even with different punches, but with the trees. I take the grands tent camping every summer – will have lots of uses for the tree punch border.
