BACKGROUND:

1. Using your two Green Cardstock papers, ink all the way around them for backgrounds

CREATE FAKE ENVELOPES:

2. Using template, cut out 2 x BLUE and 1 x PINK envelope pieces.  (should be 7cm wide)

3.  Fold over the top half and ink all around.

4. Using a 1.5cm diameter circle punch, punch out 6 BROWN circles and using your brads, adhere these to the top flap of your envelopes and to the body of your envelopes.  Only use brads to adhere them, NOT glue or tape.

5. Now divide your ribbon into three pieces and gently slide under your BROWN circles so they wrap around the brad, and once even tie in the middle.

CREATE YOUR TITLE BANNER:

6. Using your two 7.5cm strips of DOT paper, adhere these 2.5cm from the bottom of the layout along both pages.

NOTE:  On the right page, the fake pockets are stuck behind your title bar, so DO NOT put tape along where the pockets need to tuck in.  Refer example for placement of your tape.  

7. Now adhere your four scalloped CHEVRON strips along the top and bottom of these strips so your scallop edges face upwards along top and down along the bottom.

8. Use your four 1cm BLUE strips to cover where the papers meet along the top and bottom of the strip.

LEFT PAGE:

9. Adhere your 11cm STRIPED paper about 0.5cm above your TITLE strip horizontally.

10. Now using your 15cm x 19cm BIG FLOWER paper that has been scalloped along top and left edges, adhere this to your top left corner, so your scalloped edges face the outside of your layout. (leave about 0.5cm gaps top and side)

11. Stick your 13cm x 18cm BROWN photo mat to the top of this BIG FLOWER paper and adhere your BLUE broken corner on pop dots to top left corner.

12. Adhere your 13cm x 9cm PINK photo mat ontop of your STRIPED paper so you have even sides (refer example)

13. Cut your PINK Flower Frame in HALF and using your printed BLUE quote, adhere this to the bottom half of the frame as per example.  Adhere your frame to the top of the layout. I added some extra cutout flowers to the quote.

14. To your title bar, add two of your 6cm x 6cm PINK photo mats (raise on foamcore) to the far left.  Next raise your BIG TREE on foam dots and adhere next to the photo mats.  Line up your TITLE and cut through at the “O” of GROW.. adhere with TOMBOW to your Title bar over page pages. 

RIGHT PAGE:

15. Adhere your 11cm BIG FLOWER paper about 0.5cm above your TITLE strip horizontally.

16. Now adhere your 15cm x 9cm striped paper to the top right of your layout (scallops to face top and right edge)

17. Using your remaining BROWN photo mat, adhere this to the top left of layout (about 0.5 from top and left edge of this page).  Next this, to the top right, adhere your final PINK photo mat, about 1cm from top of layout.

18. Adhere your PINK QUOTE behind your remaining piece of frame and stick to the far right of layout (about 2cm from top edge) Add more cut out flowers to quote.

19. Add your two remaining Trees to your TITLE bar, raise them on pop dots for dimension.

20. Tuck in your three Fake Envelopes and adhere them on the back to your layout so they don’t fall out.

21. Finish off layout by adding your butterfly also raised on pop dots. 

TEMPLATE:  JUST ENLARGE TO SIZE.

13.5cm x 8.5cm (x2)

INSTRUCTIONS:

CREATE YOUR BANNERS:

Using your precut pieces of paper, measure a few centimeters up and cut a triangle out from the bottom to create your banner pieces.

LAYOUT:

Turn your two background papers so that you have a centre bottom cluster.  Cut out the edges of your cluster as per the diagram below.

Now tuck in your two Dark Brown strips of 11x27cm under the cut out pieces. 

Using your two 5cm striped strips, adhere your 4 thinner scalloped Dot stripes along the top and bottom of each.  You should end up with a total of 7cm in total for the height.  I turned my paper over and used my board to measure so that I ended up with exactly 7cm in height.

Now adhere this strip along the middle of your layout over both pages, approx 12cm from the bottom edge of the layout.

You can now adhere your DARK BROWN 15cm x 10cm photo mats to the left page (top right) and right page (bottom left).  

Add your two 13.5cm x 8.5cm BEIGE photo mats to the top of these -  Raise these beige mats on foamcore.

Adhere your six 7.5cm x 9cm small BEIGE photos mats to the front of each of your big BROWN strips evenly top and bottom.

Cut your remaining 4cm DARK BROWN pieces into 4 banners measuring approx 6cm (x2) and 9cm (x2)

Repeat with your 4cm STRIPED pieces by cutting them also into 6 banners measuring approx 8cm (x2), 9cm (x2) and 10cm (x2)

Stack the STRIPED pieces as per diagram (approx. 1cm from edge of page) and raise the DARK BROWN ones on foamcore and adhere to the top of these. 

Use your remaining DOT scallop paper along the top of these banners to neaten the edge. Raise this strip as well so the entire banner section is even.

 To finish:

Add your title along the centre of the layout (I cut mine in half) and also cut your long swirl in half and use half on each side of the title.

Add big brown flowers behind your Laser cut flowers and adhere to each corner cluster.  I added a big half pearl to the top of my flowers and along the Dotted Scallop strip by my banners.
