Borders by **Krislyn Mattei** — CM Independent Advisor

To create these borders you will need:

Hello Border

Step 1: Cut a 12” x 2” strip with herringbone paper. Cut a 12” x 1-5/8” strip with script paper and adhere on top.

Step 2: Using the Square Link Chain BMC, punch three borders with brown woodgrain paper. Adhere two borders behind the top and bottom of the base strip. Adhere the third border on the center of the border.

Step 3: Adhere the diamond laser cut border on top of the third square link chain border. Adhere square tile stickers, including the “hello” sticker, as shown, popping them up with Foam Squares for dimension.

The Key to Happiness Border

Step 1: Cut a 3” x 12” strip with black dots paper for the base. Cut a 2-5/8” x 12” strip with diamonds paper and adhere on the base. Cut a 1-1/2” x 12” strip with pinstripes paper and mount on top.

Step 2: Using the Square Link Chain BMC, punch two borders with chalkboard paper and one with white wood plank paper. Layer and adhere the borders on the center of the border as shown.

Step 3: Adhere stickers, popping them up with Foam Squares for dimension.

So Good Together Border

Step 1: Cut a 3-1/4” x 12” strip with dark brown woodgrain paper for the base. Cut a 3” x 11-3/4” strip with dashed grid paper and adhere on the base.

Step 2: Cut a 2-1/2” x 11-1/4” strip with white wood plank paper. Using the Square Link Chain BMC, punch borders with brown, dark gray, dark brown and gray woodgrain papers. Starting in the center of the white strip, adhere sections of each border at an angle, as shown, trimming off the excess. Repeat to create a zigzag shape.

Step 3: Adhere laser cut word embellishments using precision point adhesive.
