Instructions
  1.

Cut the color name off the bottom of the cardstock creating a 12” x 12” page.
  2. On the Medium Indigo cardstock draw a line down the page 2” from the left edge of the cardstock. Mark the following measurements on the 2” line; 1”, 31/2”, 4 3/4”, 7 1/4”, 8 1/2”, and 11” (See diagram A)

  3. Using the Shape Cutter and the Circles-1 Template align the gridline that runs through the middle of the 2.5” circle with the 2” line on the page. Then center the circle between the 3/4” and 3 3/4” marks and cut the circle out. (See diagram B) Tip; if you start with the blade of the Shape Cutter pointed to the inside of the circle you can avoid any cuts in the circle frame.

Repeat step 3 cutting out a 2.5” circle between the 4 3/4” and 7 1/4” marks and again between the 8 1/2”, and 11” marks. (See diagram C) Set cardstock aside.

Using the Parch Amore kit and the Snowflake Stencils follow the manufacturer’s instructions and create three individual snowflake designs. Tips; you will need a 3.5” circle around each snowflake so keep that in mind when you position your parchment. You should be able to get two snowflakes on a single sheet of parchment. (See diagram F)

  9.

Center the 3 1/3” circle from the Circles-1 template over each snowflake, mark with a pencil and cut out with scissors. (See diagram G)

  10.

Color the back of each snowflake with colored pencils then center a snowflake behind each circle in the border and adhere in place.
  11. Apply the blue border sticker along the right edge of the blue border. (See page example. NOTE: The sticker is not quite long enough so use a small piece of the other blue sticker border to complete the design.
  12. To create the letters cut 9 1” circles out of white cardstock using the Shape Cutter and the Circles-1 Template. Set aside.]
  13. Using the Tags-1 Template cut 9 large circles out of dark Indigo cardstock.
  14. Center a white circle onto a Indigo circle and adhere in place with Mini Pop Dots.
  15. Repeat step 14 for the remaining 8 circles.
  16. Apply the letters for Winter Fun to the white circle. (See page example) Set letters aside
  17. Using the Shape Cutter and the Super Size Square Template #2 cut a frame out of white cardstock. Apply the snowflake border to the edge
  18. Turn the white frame over, measure in 3 1/8” from the edge of the frame and mark. Then make a mark 1 1/2” on either side of the center mark 1/4” up from the bottom edge. Using the 1/8” hand held circle punch; punch a hole at each marking.
  19. To cut the dark Indigo frame place the #3 Super Sized Square template onto Dark Indigo cardstock. Mark the center vertical and horizontal lines then cut out the inside square with the Shape Cutter. Remove the #3 template and replace it with the #5 square template making sure to align the vertical and horizontal gridlines with the marks. Cut out the inside of the #5 Square template. (See diagram H)

  22. Add Photo to the frame. Center and adhere the frame to the page.
  23. Adhere letters “winter” to the top of the page as shown in the example.
