I turned the paper on it’s side and scored it again at 3″. I used the 12″ Trimmer with the Perforating Blade to score my paper at 3″. I also used the Monstera Leaves Border Punch and the Original Border Maker System with the Ancient Key Border Maker Cartridge. We even have a collection if you’ll be staying home this summer ( Staycation)!įor my first layout, I used the Tropic Time Collection to preserve memories from a Florida vacation. Regions and Cities: Wide Open Spaces, Florida, New York, Washington DC, and New Orleans International: United Kingdom, Italy, Mexico and Canada We have a general travel collection ( Wanderlust) but also many specific collections that cover so many different destinations.

Below are just a few additional ideas for you.Īs we roll into summer, I’ve been playing with some of the Creative Memories collections that are great for scrapbooking vacation memories. You can use this technique with many other border punches and border maker cartridges. I also used pieces punched with the retired Palm Tree Border Punch and the Original Border Maker System with the NEW Dolphin Border Maker Cartridge. These are all current items that are available through my Creative Memories website link.įor my second layout, I used paper, stickers and letter stickers from the current Tropic Time Collection with White Cardstock. My border includes pieces punched with the Polar Bear, Friendly Fish and Cardinals Border Punches and strips cut with the 12-Inch Trimmer with Wave Blade. I also used the NEW White Memories Tabs as spaces to journal. I included punched pieces from cardstock and small strips cut with the 12-Inch Trimmer and Wave Blade.įor step-by-step instructions, please view my YouTube video.įor the layout above, I used paper and a few stickers from the Leave Nothing Behind Collection, Hot Fudge Cardstock and Brown Serif ABC/123 Letter Stickers. To create my borders, I started with 2″ x 2″ squares and made small cuts and folds. You can use three pieces from one punch or cartridge or mix and match using two or three as I did. I also love to share different ways to use Creative Memories punches and border maker cartridges! For these borders, I used small, punched pieces to peek through the openings of my borders. But it’s really larger pieces that are folded to reveal the backside of the paper.

At first glance, it may look like a lot of small pieces to cut, adhere and keep straight. I love to share scrapbooking techniques that may look complicated but are actually easy to do! And the border idea that I’m sharing today is one of those techniques. Please click here to purchase the tools and materials. Please click here to register for my Virtual Croptoberfest Workshop.

#RETIRED CREATIVE MEMORIES BORDER PUNCHES HOW TO#
Please see my YouTube channel for a demonstration of how to punch the hollow vine circles and also how to use the Owl Punch. I also used the current Field Fence and Leafy Vine Border Punches and the retired Simple Leaf and Pinecone Punches to complete my layout. The Owl Punch has been so popular that it’s already in low quantity, so please purchase it right away if you love it. The adorable Owl Punch was released at the same as the Croptoberfest materials, and it coordinates beautifully with the collection. I used materials from the 2023 Croptoberfest Kit and Mini Embellishments to create the layout above. To celebrate the season, Creative Memories releases a special Croptoberfest Collection each year, and this year’s Croptoberfest materials are really beautiful in shades of blues and browns with cute owl accents. It’s one of my favorite times of the year – the start of the fall scrapbooking season! As the kids are back in school and summer vacations are over, we all start to settle back into our old routines and get back to our regular scrapbooking.
