Step 1: Using the inside edge of the Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Red Blade, cut a piece of circle from a sheet of Black Solid Cardstock and set aside. Use the outside frame as the base of this layout. Cut the diamonds paper to measure 11-3/4” x 11-3/4” and add to the black base.

Step 2: Using the inside edge of the Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Green Blade, cut a piece of circle from the left top corner of the lake scenery paper. Add to the black cardstock circle piece you cut out in Step 1.

Step 3: Cut four pieces of logs from the cabin paper. Trim lengthwise by 1/2” to make 11-1/2” length logs. Use the Black Dual-Tip Pen to ink the edge.

Step 4: Cut the buffalo check paper to measure 3” x 5”. Cut the reeds paper to measure 3” x 7” and 2” x 3” (use the flip side for this piece). Fold each piece in half, lengthwise. You don’t have to make a crease but just pinch the top so that you know where the midway point is. Fold to connect the corners to the midway point to make a triangle shape. Tear along the folded line.

Step 5: Using the Tent & Tree Border Maker Cartridge, punch a border from a piece of Black Solid Cardstock. Cut the border to measure 9-1/2” x 1-1/2”.

Step 6: Cut a mat to measure 4-1/2” x 5-1/2” from Black Solid Cardstock. Cut a 4-1/4” x 5-1/4” mat from White Solid Cardstock. Adhere together to make a double mat.

Step 7: Assemble all the pieces. Adhere the stickers, embellishments and photo mats, using Foam
Squares on some for added dimension.
