General Information:

• Set aside 2 x Sapphire Cardstock sheets, 2 x Linen Cardstock sheets and 4 x White Cardstock sheets to use as page bases – see layout instructions for use.

• Some of the Complement stickers and die cuts have been altered from their original shape eg: cut in half, this will be indicated in the layout instructions.

• The layout examples (photographed) use White Cardstock to indicate photo placement – you do not need to cut or include these, they are for demonstration purposes only. However, the White Cardstock journal boxes/title pieces will need to be cut - simply follow the cutting diagrams.

Cutting Instructions:

• Begin by trimming the zip strips from the B & T papers and cutting the 2 sheets of Cut Apart cards into individual pieces – set these aside to use as embellishments, as per each of the layout instructions.

• Set aside one full sheet of the Large Floral B & T paper (the reverse side has small Sapphire floral print) – this will be used to “fussy cut” page embellishments.

• As you cut each sheet of cardstock and B & T paper, compile each piece into layout groups as per layout number, this will streamline the assembly process – you will have 4 layout groups of paper pieces and 1 group of Cut Apart cards and zip strips for embellishing.

• As you follow the cutting diagrams remember to cut the longer 12” length pieces first, this will ensure you cut into each sheet correctly – this project has minimal left-over pieces of the B & T papers, therefore you won’t have enough paper to cut a 2nd piece if anything is cut incorrectly. �

• Cut with caution – the Canary Zig Zag B & T paper needs to be cut with the pattern running in a horizontal direction and the Bashful & White Stripe B & T paper needs to be cut with the white strips running in a vertical direction.

Please Note:

The cutting diagrams are not to scale – refer to the cutting diagram measurements listed for correct sizing.

The layout designs were created prior to the release of the Stitched Circle Thin Cut Dies - Z4181 therefore, you have the option of using the Basic Circle Thin Cut Dies – Z3318 as photographed or you can substitute these for the “stitched” version. It is personal choice and will not affect the overall design of Layout #2.
