To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Cut out a 1” frame from a piece of Baby Blue Solid Cardstock. Set aside the inside square piece to use in Step 2. Cut the scattered bits patterned paper to measure 11-3/4” x 11-3/4” and adhere to the frame.

Step 2: Use the Original Border Maker System with the Bears Chain Border Maker Cartridge to punch four borders from the baby blue cutout square piece from Step 1. Cut a slit on the bottom of the heart shape as shown. Bend the border to make it a curved line as shown. Trace the inside edge of the Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern onto the scattered bits base with a pencil . Using the pencil line as the
guide, adhere the bear borders. Trim the excess as you go.

Step 3: Cut two 1/2” strips from a piece of Blue Solid Cardstock. Insert the strips into the BMC housing unit with the Bears Chain Cartridge and punch a heart shape as shown. Punch 32 heart shapes in total. Use Foam Squares to add the heart shapes to the page.

Step 4: Cut the embellishment into four triangles as shown. Add to the page.

Step 5: Cut three mats to measure 3-1/2” x 3-1/2” from a piece of Canary Solid Cardstock. Cut three mats to measure 3-3/8” x 3-3/8” from a piece of White Solid Cardstock. Adhere the white mats onto the canary mats to create double mats.

Step 6: Adhere the embellishments, stickers, Write On! Stickers and photo mats, using Foam
Squares on some for added dimension.
