Using the Distress tool and the Creative Cutter, distress the polka dots and “Love” word on Black Cherry
12x12 Corédinations cardstock.
Distress and cut one oversized eyelet mat from Cream of Wheat Corédinations cardstock. Cut off a scrap
of the paper that remains from cutting the eyelet mat and adhere it to the mat with the smooth side up.
Using the Fat Marker tool for the Pro (or Pen tool with Inspiration) and the brown pen, write the words “this
is” and then cut the small tag.
From the Light Totally Tan cardstock, cut the rectangle mat. From the scrap pieces that remain, draw lines
with the blue pen and the Fat Marker tool, then cut two torn note paper journaling blocks. Adhere the light
tan mat to the center of the eyelet shaped mat.
Cut two pieces of raspberry velvet rickrack measuring 4” long, and one that measures 3.5” long. Cut one
piece of light pink velvet rickrack measuring 4” long and one measuring 3.5” long. Fold each of the longer
pieces of rickrack into V shapes, and staple to the edge of the eyelet mat.
Adhere the completed eyelet mat to the base page of the layout as shown in the photo. Crop your
photo down to 5.5”x6.75” and adhere it to the rectangular light tan mat. Shade the edges of the tan mat,
the small tag and the journaling blocks with creamy brown chalk ink. Adhere the shorter pieces of rickrack to
the two torn paper journaling blocks, light pink at the top of one and raspberry at the bottom of the other.
Slip the block with the lighter ribbon slightly behind the photo mat on the right side. Adhere the other
journaling mat to the top of the mat at the lower right corner.
Attach the small tag to the layout with the crystal brad, slightly overlapping the word Love as shown.
Using chocolate and raspberry inkpads and tiny alphabet letter stamps, stamp the journaling onto the torn
paper journaling blocks using the drawn lines as guides.
