Step 1: Use a piece of Cranberry Solid Cardstock for the base of the layout.

Step 3: Cut a piece of Stardust Solid Cardstock to measure 12″ x 3″. Place it in the Festive Foliage Embossing Folder and run it through the Die-Cutting & Embossing Machine. Run the Kelly Green Ink Pad along the top of the debossed side.

Step 4: Using the Swells side of the CCS Border Cutting Tool, cut the embossed piece in half lengthwise. Ink edges with the Kelly Green Ink Pad. Adhere the strips to the top and bottom edges of the white designer paper.

Step 5: Using the Swells side of the CCS Border Cutting Tool, cut two pieces that measure 12″ x 1/4″ from red designer paper. Trim 1/4″ from each end, then adhere along the top and bottom edges of the previous cardstock pieces as shown.

Step 6: Cut a piece of Cranberry Solid Cardstock to measure 12″ x 3″. Place the strip in the Die-Cutting & Embossing Machine with the Ornament Garland Border Die-Cut.
