•
Cut 1 of glitter Floral paper to 4”wide x 10”high and adhere to

page. In our layout, the bottom is cut into a banner shape.
•
Cut 1 of Red floral paper (red side) to 4.25”wide x 7.75”high,
ink edges and adhere overlapping swirly glitter paper on left
page, about 2” down from top of page.
•
Crop photos as shown. In the sample, the vintage 70s photos
already have white borders. You may choose to crop your
photos slightly smaller and mat them on white cardstock
(from your own stash) or leave them unmatted. On the right
page, take note that the topmost photo is matted on red cardstock and adhered with foam squares.
•
Embellish photos with random word stickers that suit your
layout.
•
Choose a border from the Collage Stripe paper, about 3/4”
wide, then border punch one edge if desired. Adhere to right
edge of layout.
•
At bottom left edge of layout, add a 1.5” x 5.5” strip of Red
Floral paper (lace side), cut in a banner shape. Slightly above
that, add a ¾” strip in a contrasting colour OR use the sticker
from the Sticker Accessory sheet.
•
Embellish with stickers, chipboard pieces, brads and flowers.
Refer to the Design Tip on this page for instructions for customizing the chipboard shapes.

Your TITLE here
Ir-RESIST-able
Artisan Chipboard from Pink Paislee.
What we have here is an amazing embellishment! With a little ink
and creativity you can match any layout. Just dab on a little ink or
color mist, blend it in, wipe off the excess with a tissue, and the
results will be revealed. The best part is having all these pieces at
your disposal when you need that purple, red, green or black
embellishment. Try mixing shades! These little shapes will become your best accessory. Did we mention they are selfadhesive? Yes...just
another bonus.

Garden Bliss
Design Tip: Don’t limit your colour
choices to the obvious colours in your
photos. There are times where a contrasting colour (or much darker or lighter
shade of the same colour) will make your
photos POP. In our sample layout, the
lush greens of the garden appear more
vibrant in contrast to the reds. On a
green background — many people’s first
choice — those greens would be competing with the paper.
Patterned papers were inked lightly
around the edges with green ink. Chipboard shapes were tinted
with green ink also.
•
Use 2 red cardstock for base page.
•
Crop 4 or more photos to 3” high, and varying widths to
span both pages from edge to edge. (4—3x6” photos
would work, and so would 8– 3x3” photos). Choose 2 4x6” vertical photos. Before adhering, sand all the photo
edges with a sanding block or sandpaper (an emery board
will also work), to expose the white core of the photo paper.
•
Adhere row of 3” high photos about 1.75” from top of layout. Adhere the 4x6 photos below.
•
From the Red Floral paper (lace side) cut ONE at 1.5”high x
4”wide, and ONE at 1.5”high x 10”wide. Adhere below row
of photos as shown.
•
From glitter Floral paper (glitter side), cut ONE at .75”high x
4”wide and ONE at .75” x 9.5” wide. Adhere to page,
slightly overlapping the Red Floral (lace) paper strips.
•
From Floral & Lace paper (glitter side) cut a 3.5”high strip
from bottom of paper. Cut into 2 pieces, 3.5” on left, and
8.5” on right. Adhere to layout as show, slightly UNDERlapping glitter Floral paper if necessary to achieve a good fit.
Journal on left page. Spell a title with small alpha stickers
on label shape.
•
Fit the largest red doily sticker on left page as shown, tucking it UNDER photos and trimming off excess at center
seam. Cut about 1/3 of gray doily and fit the smaller piece
at the top of the left page, and the larger piece overlapping
the red doily as shown. Scatter some random word stickers
and chipboard shapes ere.
•
Add brads and chipboard shapes as desired.
