Step 2: Cut a piece of cardstock (any color — you wont see it) to measure 11-3/4” x 2-5/8”.

Step 3: Cut a piece of diagonal plaid paper to measure 6” x 2-5/8”. Adhere to the previous piece on the left side.

Step 4: Using the Floral Ribbon Border Punch, punch a border from the following papers: blue plaid, beige dots, pink scallops, yellow lines, purple petals and green floral. Cut each border into 2-5/8” segments. Adhere the first one along the edge of the diagonal plaid paper edge, then overlap the remaining segments from there. Adhere segments until you are at the end.
