Hooray for Spring

Step 1: Fussy cut the top edge of a piece of framed flowers paper, then cut 2-3/4” from the top points. This will be the base of the border. 

Step 2: Using the Circle Punch, punch four circles from the yellow lines paper and four circles from the green floral paper. Adhere the circles from the back side of the border in between each point of the previous piece. 

Step 3: Using Avocado Solid Cardstock, punch one edge using the Watering Cans BMC in the Border Maker System.

Step 4: Using green floral paper, punch one edge using the Watering Cans BMC.

Step 5: Adhere the green floral piece to the top of the cardstock piece, slightly offset to give it a “shadow.” Cut this piece 1-5/8” from the top edge of the watering cans on your trimmer. Adhere to the lower edge of the border. 

Step 6: Cut a piece of yellow lines paper to measure 12” x ¾”. Adhere about ¼” from the bottom edge of the border. 

Step 7: Cut a piece of avocado cardstock to measure 12” x ¼”. Adhere about 1/16” from the bottom edge of the yellow lines paper. 

Step 8: Use Brown Dual-Tip Pen to draw faux stitching along the arches of the circles.

Step 9: Adhere stickers for title as desired.

Floral Border

Step 1: Using the Scallop Blade on the 12-inch Trimmer, cut a piece of Purple Ice Solid Cardstock to measure 2-3/8” x 12”. This is the base of the border. 

Step 2: Cut a piece of multicolored stripes paper to measure 2” x 12”. Adhere to the center of the border. 

Step 3: Using the Watering Cans BMC in the Border Maker System, punch along the edge of Eggplant Solid Cardstock. Cut from the top edge of the watering cans 2”. Then cut into 2” increments. Adhere to the multicolored stripes paper, flipping every other one. 

Step 4: Cut six pieces from the beige dots paper to measure 1-3/4” x 1”. Adhere to the lower portion of each segment. 

Step 5: Adhere flower sticker and title to each beige dots piece, rotating by placing the sticker on the right side of left side of the beige dots piece. Use scissors to cut any excess stickers off along the bottom edges of each piece.
