Use Fiskars Desktop Trimmer (using the straight blade), to trim Heidi Grace Flocking Paper to 8.5”x11”, then trim pink cardstock to 7.5”x10”. Set aside. 2. Then use the Fiskars Desktop Trimmer with the Scallop Blade to trim edges from a 4”x6” photo. Use Fiskars Clear Stamp Tradition and stamp directly on photo. Set aside to allow ink to dry. (Don’t forget to put your Straight Blade back into Desktop Trimmer). 3. Use the Fiskars Fingertip Craft Knife to cut your title out of scraps of chipboard, vintage book page, black velvet paper, black cardstock, Heidi Grace Dot with Mushroom Cardstock. (I didn’t even trace or write out the letters, since the Fingertip Craft Knife is so similar to writing, it’s a breeze to handcut letters). 4. Now adhere the photo to the bottom right of pink cardstock, ½” from bottom and right side. Tuck a scrap 6” skinny strip of vintage book page under right side of photo and adhere. Use wet adhesive to adhere 3 vintage buttons onto photo on bottom right side. 5. Adhere title letters to left side of photo. Pre-poke holes around title letters and then hand stitch around each letter. Adhere pink cardstock to Heidi Grace Flocking Paper. 6. Handwrite journaling on cream cardstock and cut into 5 strips. Adhere strips above photo. Add another vintage button above journal strips
