Cut up one sheet of AG1114 into two
sets of strips:
Strip 1- Cut along the ivory strip on each side
of the pink
strip making nine pink strips (there should be a
thin ivory stripe on each side of the pink stripe)
Strip 2 - Cut along
the lime
green strip
making ten 3/4" wide
strips with lime green/thin stripe of white on both
sides.
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
Make a border for the
edges of each background page using 8 of the pink/white
strips. Adhere each strip to AG1117 about 3/8" from
each of the four sides of the page. Each strip will
cross over at each corner. Do this to both pages
of AG1117. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Next you will make the gift “boxes” for
each page. Take AG1115 and make a 4" x 8" mat,
take AG1113 and make a 6" x 5" mat, take
AG1116 and make a 4" x 4 1/2" mat and
last, take AG1112 and make a 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" square
mat. |

make a 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" square
mat. [Adhere boxes to appropriate pages.] |
|
|
|
| Banner Bows |
 |
 |
You will need to make two of these,
one for each page. Make a flat, banner style bow
for the bottom of each page by first cutting a V-shaped
wedge out of each end of the strip to make it look
like a bow tail. Then fold each strip in half just
so you can mark the center for reference. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Then unfold the strip and turn it print side down.
Hold down the center with one finger and then fold
each end back to the center fold mark to make a “Z” shape
that will make bringing the outer folds to the center
fold, making the loops of the bow. This is the same
way you make a banner. |
 |
 |
Flatten out the bow and adhere it together in
the center. Cut a 2" long piece of one of the
lime green/white 3/4" strip and wrap it around
the center of the bow (this will look like the knot
of the bow) adhere together on the back. |
 |
Take bow and adhere it to the center
of the pink stripe border along the bottom of the
page. Repeat all steps for the second bow for the
other page. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
Make the pink loop gift bow for the
paisley gift by cutting 2 pink strips in half (6" long.)
Bring the ends together and adhere, overlapping 1/2".
Make four of these “chain links,” they
will act as the bow loops. |
 |
 |
Flatten each “chain link loop” slightly.
The loops will be about 2 1/2" long. Overlap
two loops in the center, making a plus sign. Adhere
together. Add remaining strips to make an X in between
the plus sign. Adhere together |
 |
 |
Make a hole in the center for the brad. Insert
brad. |
 |
Adhere bow to the paisley gift with
a strong adhesive. |
|
|
|
|
Make the striped bow
for the pink
twinkle gift
by cutting ten
4" lengths
[If you look
closely, you
will see that
you will only
need nine 4"
strips.] of the
lime green/white
3/4" wide strips. Also
cut three 5" lengths of the lime green/white
3/4" wide strips. |
 |
 |
Apply adhesive to one
end of the printed side of a strip. Bring the right
side of the strip to the adhesive end of the strip
and align the ends at a right angle, making a loop
that is reminiscent of the shape of a shirt collar
NOT a “chain link loop” as in the above
step. The right side
of
the paper will be
facing out. |
 |
Flatten the loop slightly.
Repeat for all strips. |
 |
Start making the bow
in the center, overlapping the ends of three of the
4" loops and adhere together, making a “triangle.” |
 |
Adhere the 5" loops
to each “corner” of the triangle. |
 |
 |
Make a hole through all layers and
insert the brad in the center. |
 |
 |
Use a strong adhesive to adhere the
remaining loops around the outer edges of the bow.
Use a glue dots to adhere to the top of the pink
twinkle gift. |
|
|
|
 |
Make the pink twinkle
bow for the 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" square by cutting
three 3/4" wide strips from AG1113. Cut the
strips into 4" lengths. |
 |
 |
Make eight loops for the bow by
adhering the ends together so it makes more of a “teardrop” shaped
loop (it will look similar to the “shirt collar” shape
but elongated). Flatten the loops slightly. The loops
for this bow will face down. |
 |
 |
Overlap the ends of four loops
in the center to make a 3 1/2" wide bow. Adhere
together. Add four more loops in between each loop,
adhering in the center. |
 |
 |
Make a hole in the center through
all layers and insert brad. Adhere to the center
of the 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" square gift where
the lime green/white strips cross in the middle. |
|
|
|
|
 |
Punch out die cuts. Cut
large holly die cut in half to make two pieces. Assemble
die cut with mini pop dots. Adhere to the top of
the AG1116 gift in an “arch” shape. |
|
|
|
|
Adhere the tag to the paisley gift. |

and AG1116 to 12" x 4 1/2". |

This is a “gate” type of fold in the
front. |
 |
 |
Adhere the holly
paper covering the entire outside of the cardstock. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
