Hello and welcome to my blog. Today is Border Maker Monday on our Creative Life Scrapbooking Facebook Page and I'm sharing a new layout featuring CM's Spring Leaf Chain Border Maker Cartridge and Spring Medley Collection. The Spring Leaf Chain BMC is one of my favorites! It's great for creating a stand alone border or accent as well as borders created with a combination of border punches and border maker cartridges. For today's layout I used it to create stand alone borders that accent my title and sub-title.
You'll need the following Creative Memories products to create today's layout:
Here are directions for creating today's layout:
1. Using 12 x 12 Refill Pages as your base and the 12-Inch Trimmer, cut two 3 1/4" x 12" pieces from the grey pattern paper. Adhere each to the bottom of your bases. Cut two 8 3/4" x 12" pieces from the grey gingham paper and set aside.
2. Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and the Scallop Blade cut three 1/2" x 12" strips from Grey or Silver Shimmer cardstock. Adhere two of the strips to the top of the grey pattern paper so that they overlap that paper 1/4" as shown. Adhere the grey gingham pieces to your layout as shown. Adhere the third cardstock strip to the left page so that the top of the strip measures 6 1/4" from the bottom of the bottom strip. Note: one edge of your strips will be covered by either the grey gingham paper or your pictures/journal box.
3. Using the 12-Inch Trimmer and Straight Blade, cut one 4 x 6" piece and one 4 1/2" x 11 1/2" piece from the dark blue pattern paper shown. Cut a V into one end of the 4 1/2" x 11 1/2" piece and adhere to the right page as shown. Adhere the 4 x 6" piece and two 4 x 6" vertical photos to the left page as shown. Cut one Variety Mat Journal Box in half and adhere to the 4 x 6" blue pattern paper as shown. Adhere two 4 x 6" horizontal photos and two 4" x 4" photos to the right page as shown.
4. Using the Border Maker System and the Spring Leaf Chain BMC punch one border from Silver Shimmer cardstock and two borders from the dark blue pattern paper. Trim the Silver Shimmer border to 7 5/8" long and adhere to the left page using repositionable tape runner. Adhere the remainder to the right page as shown. Trim one blue border to 5 1/2" long and use repositionable tape runner to adhere to the left page as shown. Trim the remaining blue border to about 7" long and use repositionable tape runner to adhere to the right page, tucking one end under the dark blue paper if needed.
5. I used dark blue ABC/123 stickers to create both my title and sub-title. I also cut the "arrow" off the dandelion speech bubble and used it to accent my title as shown. The floral stickers used on the right page were cut from one sticker and the cut ends were tucked under the embellishments shown. Finish by journaling your story and you're done!
