Lacey Roses by Andrea Rothenberg, CCD, CPD
Create a beautiful and delicate page with punches and easily stick all of the intricate and vellum pieces in position with the New Xyron® 900 Machine.
Materials Needed
  Xyron® 900
  Xyron® 900 Acid Free Cartridge
  Fiskars Elegance Continuous Border Punch
  12” x 12” paper for page
  12” x 12” white paper for designs
  beige paper for designs
  DMD, Paper Reflections® Roses Vellum Die Cuts
  5” x 7” Photograph
 
Instructions
  1. Cut a piece of white paper 5 ½” x 7 ½” and a piece of beige paper 6” x 8”. Run the photo and each paper piece through the Xyron® machine. Adhere the photo to the center of the white and the white to the center of the beige paper. Keep the beige piece on its backing until ready to adhere to the page.
  2. From the white 12” x 12” paper cut 2 strips 1 ¼” x 12”, a 4” x 6” rectangle and a 3 ½” x 12” strip. Use the border punch to punch a continuous design down the long side of a strip. Flip the strip over to punch the same design on the opposite side. Line up the design by centering the punched design with the raised center marking on the punch. Be sure to continue the design off the edges of each strip. Repeat the design on the edge of each long strip. Punch the corners of the rectangle first. Line up the corner of the paper with the marking on the punch at each side of the design area. You may want to practice the corner punch design on a scrap paper to make sure of the design you will get from your marked area. When all corners have been punched, punch the design in the center of each side. The design will overlap some of the corner design area.
  3. Cut five 2 ½” squares from the beige paper. Punch one side of a square by centering it in the punch. Punch the design in the center of the opposite side of the square. Punch the remaining sides of the square one at a time. Repeat for all 5 squares.
  4. Run all of the punched strips and squares through the Xyron® Machine. Before removing the clear mask, rub your fingers around the punched design areas to make sure that the excess adhesive will be removed onto the mask when taken off. Run the vellum roses through the Xyron® Machine also.
  5. Begin putting the page together by peeling off the protective mask form the pieces. Lay a thin strip on the right side ¼” from the edge. Place the wide strip on the left side ¼” from the edge. Place the last thin strip ½” from the wide one. Adhere the matted photo to the upper open area ¼” from the top. Add the rectangle centered in the area below the photo. Add the squares evenly spaced inside the wide strip. Add the roses in the squares and throughout the page.
