- 12-inch Trimmer
- Micro-Tip Scissors
- Avocado Cardstock

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Punch the BordersBegin by placing a 12” x 12” piece of Christmas Charm paper into the Ribbons & Bows Decorative Border Punch. Align the edge of the paper with one of the black guidelines on the punch. Punch down, then move the paper until the punched shape aligns with the blue image and triangle on the punch. Repeat until you have a complete border. Create four Ribbons & Bows borders following this process.
- Cut Rectangles for the LayoutUse the 12-inch Trimmer to cut the remaining Christmas Charm paper into one 8” x 6” rectangle and one 4” x 6” rectangle. Flip the 4” x 6” piece to reveal the reverse side for added visual interest.
- Prepare and Customize BordersTake two of the 12” Ribbons & Bows borders and cut them in half to create four 6” borders. For the other two, cut them into 4” sections, resulting in six smaller borders. Flip half of the borders to show the reverse pattern for variety.
- Create the BaseTrim a coordinating 12” x 12” Christmas Charm paper to 12” x 11.5”. Center and adhere this piece onto a 12” x 12” sheet of Avocado Cardstock to form the base of your layout.
- Assemble the LayoutAdhere the 8” x 6” and 4” x 6” rectangles to the base as shown in the completed layout. Arrange the Ribbons & Bows borders next to the rectangles, alternating patterns for contrast, and secure them using Repositionable Adhesive.
