Instructions:
Note: All of the Kraft mats are outlined with gold leafing pen.
Step 1. Cut Light Blue cardstock to 11 1/2” square and adhere to 12” x 12” Green cardstock.
Step 2. Print panoramic picture 8” x 10” and mat with Green and Kraft cardstock.
Step 3. Cut a 1” strip of 12” x 12” Green cardstock and center on back of matted panoramic photo, extending out the side edges. Insert two mini brads on each side of the strip. Set aside.
Step 4. Print five photos 2” x 2”. Mat with Kraft cardstock.
Step 5. For wire leaf photo holders: Cut five pieces of 22 gauge wire 8” long. Follow diagram (Figure A) to form leaf shapes.
Step 6. Using an extra piece of 22 gauge wire, wrap a tight coil (approx. 1/8” -1/4”) around the heavier wire with 26 gauge wire; attach a charm and wrap another 1/4” of 26 gauge wire and add another charm. Continue this same process with all of the charms. Slide off the 22 gauge wire and cut the coils between the charms. These are now ready to slide onto the leaf wired pieces when desired (see Figure B).
Step 7. Print desired wording on labels and use glue dot to adhere to scratch paper (the backing will be peeled off when ready to use). To apply alcohol ink, use blending solution first on the felt before adding just a couple of drops of bottle and filling the rest of the felt with lettuce ink. Follow directions and use a swirling motion to apply the ink.
Step 8. When labels are dry (it only takes a minute), cut labels apart and mat as desired with Kraft and Green, adding mini brads where desired. Apply 3-D foam tape to the back before applying to the page.
Step 9. Determine placement of photos and attach wire leaf photo holders (making sure they will extend under the panoramic photo – trimming wire if necessary).
Step 10. Place 3-D foam tape of the back of each 2” x 2” photo, avoiding the wire areas. Add an extra wire photo holder for a decorative effect.
Step 11. Once placement is determined, slide appropriate token onto photo holder and secure photo in place. If desired, secure charms in place with a mini glue dot.
Step 12. Secure wire under panoramic photo with Super Tape on top of the wire.
Step 13. Apply 3-D foam tape to back of panoramic photo and Super Tape to edges of Green side strips. Secure photo in place over wire pieces.
Step 14. Secure labels in place where desired.
