Instructions
  Windmill frame:
  1. Photocopy 2 patterns (#53 and #55) from “The All Occasion Card Book” on pages 46 and 47.
  2. Determine the size of photograph you wish to use for the bottom corner of the page. The example shows a 12.5 x 15.5 cm or 4 7/8 x 6 1/8 inch photo with a 16 x 19 cm (7 ½ x 6 3/8 inch) frame.
  3. Place the ivory frame front side down on your piercing pad and align pattern #53 in one of the corners and tape with cello tape to the card stock. You will want to remove this tape so use tape that is easily removed. Pierce the entire corner pattern. Hold your card stock up to the light to ensure that you have pierced the entire pattern. Remove the pattern from the card stock.
  4. Repeat step 3 for each of the corners of the frame.
  5. Optional: Cut small 1 cm slits into the spaces between the pierced patter and weave ivory ribbon through each slit. Attach the ribbon to the back of the frame. At the top of the frame tie a bow.
 

Skater:

  1.

Pierce the pattern from Template PM 017 for the skater. Carefully cut around the skater with scissors. Cut out the small areas between the skater’s legs and blades of the skates. Place aside.

  2.

Pierce the pattern for behind the skater from the same template. The example pierced the trees and snowflakes above and around the skater (do not pierce the inner square frame) and as far left of the skater as the path on the ice from the skates. Also pierce the outer frame as far as you have pierced the skating pattern. Remove the template.

  3.

Align the template with the pierced outer edge so that you are able to pierce the remainder of frame. You may overlap some of the design to ensure it is evenly aligned. Pierce the remainder of the outer frame. Using the snowflakes on the template, pierce several snowflakes in the blank area.

  4.

Attach the skater you cut out previously to the background scene using 3-D foam tape blocks. Attach the foam tape to the skater and place in the area for the skater on the background scene.

 

Children’s Frame

  1.

Using template PM0553 pierce a frame for around the children’s picture. The template has 4 half frames which you are able to use to make full frames. Pierce the first half of the pattern, then using the single dot in the middle of each frame pierce or draw a dot to assist in realigning the template. Remove the template and then realign for the other half of the frame.

  2.

In the example, the children’s picture was slightly larger than the frame. You may lengthen each side of the frame by increasing the number of pattern repetitions. The example used the frame on the right hand side of the template with 4 pattern repetitions for the frame width and 7 pattern repetitions for the length.

  3.

When increasing the size of the frame pierce the pattern on the template omitting the last swirls before the corners on the free ends. Realign the template with the previous patterns so that the corner will be in the appropriate place. Pierce the remaining patterns and corner.

 

Journaling:

  1. The journaling in the example was printed in brown ink onto an ivory colored vellum paper (1610) using an ink jet printer. Two layers of vellum were used to enhance the color. Both layers were pierced together using the corner swirl from the photocopied pattern #55.
  2. Place the pattern on the back of the vellum in the corner and then attach with cello tape to the vellum to ensure it does not move. Pierce the corner of the pattern using the piercing tool.
  3. Repeat step #2 for each corner. Attach the vellum to the card stock using Zig glue.
  4. Optional: Tie a small bow out of sheer ivory ribbon and attach to the top of your journaling with Perga-glue or other appropriate glue.
