| Instructions
|
| 1. |
Cut four 5” squares from the flower paper.
Draw four 4” x 5” rectangles on pink cardstock with
a pencil Emboss the basketweave pattern on the drawn rectangles,
using the texturing tool. Cut out the embossed rectangles. |
| 2. |
Draw a dot in the exact center of the white page
with pencil. Using a lucite ruler, draw a 5” square angled
in the center of the page (the center of the square should be at
the drawn dot). Glue the photo inside the drawn square. Glue the
flower squares around the sides of the photo (edges will extend
beyond the page). Turn the page over and trim the squares and rectangles
even with the edges of the white page. |
| 3. |
Tear strips that are at least 1 ¼” wide
diagonally from the peach cardstock, using the scallop edger on
one side and the wave edger on the opposite side. Begin at the center,
tearing three strips on both sides of the center. Two long strips
will be placed vertically on the page. Short strips will be pieced
behind the long strip horizontally. Punch flowers randomly in the
center of the strips. Antique around the flower holes on strips
with pink ink, using a small piece of dry sponge. Cut four 1 1/8”
wide strips from the white cardstock and glue to the back of the
torn strip so that the flowers are white. |
| 4. |
Glue horizontal strips across the top and bottom
of the photo with the ends extending at the edges. Turn the page
over and trip the strips even with the edges of the white page.
Sew a machine zig zag stitch along the torn edges, leaving the thread
ends at the edges of the page. Sew a machine straight stitch ¼”
from the torn edges of the strips, leaving the thread ends at the
edges of the page. (TIP: Adjust the length of the stitch on the
machine to make it about 1/8” in length – tiny stitches
may cause the paper to tear). Trim the thread ends 1” from
the stitching and glue to the back side. Glue and stitch the vertical
strips to the page the same as the horizontal strips. Sew a machine
straight stitch along each side of the page 1/8” form the
edge, trimming the thread ends 1” from the stitching and glue
to the back. |
| 5. |
To make the tag, print “100% pure girl”
on white cardstock. Cut a 1 ¼” x 4 ½”
rectangle around the words, leaving room on the right side for the
flower. Trim the left side to a point. Sew a machine straight stitch
around the tag, beginning and ending at a point. Glue the thread
ends to the back. Punch a flower from the peach cardstock and antique
the edges with pink ink. Glue the flower to the right side of the
tag. Punch a 1/16” hole in the center of the flower and attach
the paper fastener. Tie the lavender ribbon into a bow. Sew the
button to the pointed end of the tag and through the center of the
bow. Knot the thread ends in the back of the bow. Glue the bow to
the bottom right corner of the photo. |
