Instructions
  1.

Using the cutting channel in the Euro trimmer as a guide, use a stylus to dry emboss a line down the center then across the center of the Ivory cardstock, dividing it into four, 6” x 6” squares.

  2.

Starting at the edge of the paper, make a mark at every ¾” intervals along the dry embossed lines. Use the eyelet setter to punch a hole at each marked point.

  3.

Thread the ribbon through the holes, and then tape the ends in place at the back. Pass the ribbon over the center hole so that both ends will be at the back when reaching the opposite side. Option: Twist the ribbons at the center point if desired.

  4.

Cut the Lavender and the Blue Violet paper into four, 6” x 6” squares. Trim two, Lavender squares and two, Blue Violet squares to 5 ½” x 5 ½”. Using a stylus and the cutting channel on the Euro trimmer as a guide, dry emboss a line around these squares ¼” from the edge. Prepare one square at a time as follows:

  a)

Cut an oval from the center of a Lavender square then dry emboss a photo corner design at each corner, using the Scrapboss sampler template.

  b)

Trim one Lavender square to measure 4 ¾” x 4 ¾”. Dry emboss a photo corner design at each corner, using the Scrapboss sampler template. Cut a 3 ½” square from the center to create a frame. (This square can be used on the second Blue Violet Square.) Cut a 3” square around the page title. Adhere the frame and the square to the Blue Violet square as shown.

  c)

Dry emboss a photo corner design at each corner of a 3 ½” square of Lavender, using the Scrapboss sampler template. Adhere to the center of the Blue Violet square. Dry emboss a small flower onto Blue Violet cardstock then cut out. Attach to the center of the Lavender square with a brad at the center. Use the Eyelet setter to make a hole at the center of each side of the Lavender square about ½” from the edge. Thread remaining ribbon through the holes as shown, taping the ends to the back.

  d)

Cut an oval at the center of the Lavender square, large enough to accommodate the photograph. Cut a piece of printed vellum 5” x 5”, then cut an oval from the center a little smaller than the oval in the Lavender square. Attach the vellum to the Lavender square by placing a brad at each corner.

  e)

Position photographs behind the Lavender squares then referring to photograph, attach all four squares to the Ivory background.
