Instructions
  1. Crumple and re-crumple the sheet of copper foil in your hands until you have your desired texture. Lay the crumpled foil on a flat surface and flatten it out without pressing too hard to lose the texture. With regular scissors, cut an 11” x 2” strip. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to use the ShapeCutter™ and the oval template to cut out 3 of the 3” x 4” ovals from the crumpled foil. It can be easier to cut foil with the Shapecutter™ with a sheet of scrap paper on top of the foil.
  2. Cut three 2 ½” x 3 ½” ovals from black foil. Use the ruler and scissors to cut an 11” x ½” strip of black foil.
  3. Use adhesive to stick the black oval in the center of the copper oval. Stick the copper oval onto silver foil leaving approx. ½” of foil around it. Use the Paper Edger to cut a scalloped mat around the copper oval. Repeat for the other 2 sets of ovals. Use the 2 ¼” x 3” oval template to cut out your photographs, adhere them in the center of the black oval.
  4. Cut a 6” x 7” piece of silver foil. Following the manufacturer’s instructions of your ShapeBoss™, place the foil right side down in the center oval design between the stencil templates. Use the stylus to emboss the oval design into the foil. Remove the embossed design and cut around it with the paper edgers to make it a scalloped oval shape. Cut a 3” x 4” oval from the piece of apricot paper. Adhere it in the center of the embossed oval.
  5. Cut two 2” squares from silver foil. Cut the squares in half from corner to corner to make 4 triangles. Choose a small design on the embossing template to fit in the triangles and emboss each one.
  6. Assemble the page: Adhere the copper strip on the left side of the page, 2” from the edge. You will need to cut in the center so that the ends will reach the top and bottom edges of the page. Adhere the black strip in the center of the copper, cutting it also. The embossed oval with the paper center goes in the center of the copper strip. Adhere a corner piece in each of the 4 corners. Use a marker for journaling in the center oval.
  7. Arrange the photo ovals on the right side as desired and adhere them in place.
