Quilted Page By Julie McGuffee
Scrapbooking is known as the “quilting bee” of the new millennium, so let’s use quilting patterns and techniques on our pages! Making perfect angles is a snap with Fiskars new, Ultimage Paper Trimmer with its angle template.
Materials Needed
  Fiskars Ultimate Paper Trimmer and templates
  Fiskars Border Punch – Greek Key
Fiskars Photo Memories Cardstock – Light Green, Dark Green and Burgundy
  Xyron 900 Machine and re-positionable adhesive cartridge
  12” x 12” Background paper (Laura Ashley used here)
  Laura Ashley Sticker Buttons
  “Inspirables” Stiicker title
Remember to choose colors of paper and embellishments that complement your photographs. Colors chosen here reflect the colors and theme of my photographs, but may not be the best color choices for yours.
Instructions
  1. Cut two sheets of 8.5” x 11” into 4 pieces (5.5” x 4.25”). You will need 6 of these. Place the angle template into the slots on the paper trimmer. Place one rectangle at a time onto the trimmer aligning the short edge along the 60 degree line. The tip will be at the top of the trimmer. (See photo.) Cut then repeat with the other side of the rectangle so you will have two triangles. You will need 12 of these to complete the project as shown. Set aside.

  2. Mat the photograph by gluing to the dark green paper. Trim the paper to within 1/4” of the edge of the photograph. Cut a 6” x 11” piece of dark green paper then cut in half crossways. Glue to the center of the 12” x 12” background paper aligning the edges at the top and bottom.
  3. Use the border punch to decorate the short edge of each triangle. Mark the center of the background paper then arrange the triangles in place with the point at the center. Triangles can be arranged in a pinwheel fashion as shown or arranged in pairs as kites. Glue in place.
  4. To finish, glue the photograph to the center of the page. Embellish with strips of dark green and burgundy paper as shown, the buttons and sticker caption.
