Here is a simple holiday card to put your gifty "bling" in. Just a few tools to complete the design and the process will take approximately 7 minutes. (much less time than it's taking me to write these instructions...LOL).

Please note: Feel free to change your color palette. This is simply a guide.

  • Collect your papers--
  • Teal card stock (your card base) Cut it to be 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, fold in half. 
  • Gray card stock
  • White card stock for your snow man. 
  • Nordic Christmas for the tree. 
  • Strut Your Stuff paper is the fence and the scarf of the snowman. 
  • Black card stock for the hat on the snowman

  1. First - prepare your "Card" 
  2. Cut a circle with the gray card stock - use medium circle and green trimmer then cut that circle in half (save extra half for next card
  3. Snowman - Cut using the smallest circle. Cut using inner ring, one piece with each of the trimmers so that you have 3 circles in graduated sizes. 
  4. Cut tree using your large circle / inner ring / red trimmer
  5. Strut your Stuff paper - make a section of fence with your boarder maker and cut a little strip for the scarf.
  6. Black card stock - cut a 3/4" square for hat & cut a slightly larger strip for brim

Add all your goodies to the face of your card. The gray half circle is for the inside (attach, with adhesive only at the bottom, as seen in photo).

All of the items to create this card can be

Fun uses for the Creative Memories Border Maker Cartridge - Fence

Just letting a little Sunshine into your day with a fun
page using the "Fence" cartridge. This 
cartridge is included when you purchase
the new Creative Memories Border Maker system.




Easy Peasy directions: 
Simply cut a few strips of your favorite paper 
using the "Fence" Border Maker Cartridge. 
These will be your "earth" at the bottom of the page. 

Weave some coordinating paper through the loops. 

At the base of the bottom of the page I used a 
piece of green paper from the "*Film Strip" cartridge. I trimmed 
off one edge leaving the "bottom green strip" and the "stems"
add stars or flowers or whatever you like to be your "garden"

Next, with your Border Maker Fence Cartridge, 
create the "sun shine" rays 
(you pick your sunshine colors)

Add two photo mats

Final decoration, use the piece of  *film strip you previously trimmed off
and create a "stem" for your Flower. 
Add petals made from the Fence cartridge.

DONE! 
(well, add some journaling and maybe a title :-) )










*Also used in this design is the 
"Film Strip" cartridge (currently unavailable)
