How to create border:

Cut 2-3/8” x 12” strip from Brick Cardstock for the base.
 
Cut a 2” x 12” strip from Aquamarine Cardstock; using the Rotary Scoring Blade, insert the strip of Aquamarine Cardstock into 12” Rotary Trimmer.  Line up a long edge exactly with the 60 degree angle line (found on the left side of the face of the Trimmer). Run the Scoring Blade down the paper. Remember, to keep your cardstock at an angle during this whole process. Move the cardstock to the right, and line up the scored line EXACTLY with the 3/4" indented line on the right side of the trimmer. Score another line.  Continue this process, moving the scored line over 3/4" until you have made several scored lines.  Take this same piece of Aquamarine Cardstock and line up the shorter edge with the 30 degree line on the left side of the Trimmer.  Make scored lines just as described above, moving the paper over and lining them up with the 3/4" indention in the Trimmer.  You will now have a “harlequin” pattern, embossed cardstock.

Use the Scallop Circle Maker (with holes) to punch several small circles out of Brick Cardstock.  Adhere them at equal intervals on the harlequin pattern.

Cut this piece of cardstock down to 2” x 7”. Using the Corner Maker, round the top corners and adhere it to the top of the Brick Cardstock base.

Using the Circle Maker, punch a 1-1/2" circle and (2) 1-1/4" circles from the remaining 2” x 5” piece of scored Aquamarine Cardstock.

Adhere a 2” x 4-1/2” strip of Green Apple Cardstock to the bottom of border.

Adhere the 3 Aquamarine circles to the Green Apple portion of the border, trimming off the excess circle with an All-Purpose Scissors.  Adhere additional Brick Cardstock circles randomly.

Using Frosted Photo Splits, adhere the “Father” Vellum Accent to a 3-3/4” x 1-3/4” strip of Green Apple Cardstock. Mat then, onto a 4” x 2” strip of Brick Cardstock.  Using Foam Squares, adhere to border in the center, as shown.
