To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use the quilt paper as the base of this layout.

Step 2: Use the Snow Capped Mountains Border Punch to punch a border from the trellis paper. Cut the border at 3” height.

Step 3: Align the end of the tiles paper at 0” mark of the 12-inch Decorative Trimmer as shown and cut waves.

Step 4: Using the Original Border Maker System with the Treeline Border Maker Cartridge, punch two borders from Black Solid Cardstock and one border from the pluses paper. Cut the black borders at 1-3/4” height. Cut the pluses border at 1-1/2” height.

Step 5: Add some Foam Squares and the regular Tape Runner on the back of the tiles border as shown in Process 1 image. Adhere to the Snow Capped Mountains border. Add some Foam Squares to the bottom of the border as shown in Process 2 image. Adhere one of the black borders. Add another black border starting from 1/4” from the left edge (Process 3 image). Adhere the pluses border to the bottom of the border.

Step 6: Adhere the border to the bottom of the base. Trim the excess with scissors. Cut four strips to measure 3/4” x 12” from stripes paper. Fold the corners of two of the strips as shown and add to the page, using Foam Squares for added dimension.

Step 7: Cut two 3-1/2” x 5” mats and one 4-1/4” x 6-1/4” mat from trellis paper. Cut two 3-1/4” x 4-3/4” mats from Vs paper and add to the trellis mats. Add “Filled with Wonder” mat to the trellis mat.

Step 8: Adhere the stickers, embellishments and mats, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.
