(2) 4" x 4"

Step 3: Instructions

  1. Using the Spring Flowers Stamp Set and the Clover Meadow, Dutch Blue, Watermelon, and Sunny Yellow Ink Pads, random stamp your 12" x 12" piece of White Daisy CS.

    Note: I used the My Legacy Writers .01 pen to draw a line around each of my random stamped flowers (except my Sunny Yellow ones) to make my flowers "pop". This is optional.

  2. Cut your random stamped pieces down to the appropriate sizes and attach them to your 12" x 12" Dutch Blue Base Sheet as shown in the illustration above. The two 7.5" x 3" pieces go on the left page while the two 3" x 12" pieces go on the right page.

  3. Adhere the 12" x 4.5" and 6" x 3" pieces of Clover Meadow CS to your base pages as show above. The 12" x 4.5" piece goes on the left page while the 6" x 3" piece goes on the right page.

  4. Using a rough grit sandpaper gently sand your .5" x 12" and your .5" x 6" pieces of Watermelon CS. Lay them over the seam of your Clover Meadow pieces that you just adhered to your page and secure them with silver brads. 3 silver brads on the left, 2 on the right.

  5. On all of the 2" x 2" squares (in every color), you may stamp on them, journal on them, add pictures or lettering, etc. The choice is up to you. Be creative! Once you have them looking the way you desire simply adhere them across your page by alternating the colors. My pattern from top left to right starts with Dutch Blue, Watermelon, Clover Meadow, repeat. My pattern from bottom left to right is Clover Meadow, Dutch Blue, Watermelon, repeat.

  6. Cut your 3" x 12" strip of Bubblegum CS into a 3" x 8.5" piece and a 3" x 3.5" piece. (this is just 1 cut that will give you 2 pieces).
    Next, cut your 3" x 8.5" piece down into a 3" x 8" piece. Gently tear off about .5" along the 3" side of the 3" x 8" piece as well as the 3" x 3.5" piece. Adhere them onto the Clover Meadow piece on the left side page. Make sure to center it by leaving about .5" on each side.

    Do the same with your 2.5" x 12" piece of White Daisy CS. Only this time, tear off just enough so that you can see about .25" to .5" of the Bubblegum CS tear as well. Adhere the White Daisy pieces to the Bubblegum pieces.

  7. Affix six eyelets next to the tear of your Bubblegum CS and weave ribbon through it.

  8. On the opposite page (the right page), evenly attach ribbon to your eyelets and secure them onto the Clover Meadow CS.

  9. Center your three Black Cardstock pieces to your layout as shown in the picture above.

    Note: I applied the Scissor Distressing Technique to the edges of my Black CS squares.

  10. Add your journaling and your pictures! You've just completed a fun layout that is sure to compliment your memories!
