• Instructions:

BM1

• Cut your paper to size.
• Use the Elegant Edge Tag Punch on one end of the Blueberry Bushel Cardstock.
• Use Night of Navy Ink to stamp waves onto the lower portion of the Basic White strip.
• Use Blueberry Bushel Ink to stamp a ship, a sentiment, and birds onto the strip of Basic White.
• Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere the BW to the Cardstock, leaving a narrow border on three sides and the pretty punched edge on top.  

BM2

1. Cut your paper to size.
2. Use the Paper Trimmer to line up the Shaded Spruce piece corner to corner. Use the cutting groove to line up the corners at the top and bottom. Then, SCORE from corner to corner.
3. Use the Paper Trimmer to line up the Joy of Christmas DSP piece corner to corner. Use the cutting groove to line up the corners at the top and bottom. Then, CUT from corner to corner.
4. Fold the Shaded Spruce piece along the score line. Using the Paper Trimmer, line up the folded side to the tip edge of the trimmer, and line up the corner to the cutting groove. Cut this piece in half.
5. Use liquid glue to adhere the Joy of Christmas DSP to each folded triangle.
6. Cut a piece of ribbon to cover the short sides of the triangle.
7. Use Stampin’ Seal on the back of the ribbon, making the whole ribbon sticky. Then place half the ribbon on the short edge of the triangle, and fold it across the back side. Repeat on the other short side. Trim any excess ribbon.
8. Or use liquid glue to secure the short end to seal it shut. Let this sit a while before using it.
