Photo size is 5½” x 3¾” landscape
All cutting instructions are width x height

Instructions:

  1. Using the reverse side of Faerie Kingdom as the background sheet. Tear the centre part of the Fantasy sheet in a V shape. Adhere the flower side up, of Fantasy, using double-sided tape over the Faerie Kingdom sheet, leaving the top, distressed/torn V part open (making a pocket to allow embellishments to slide under) – See image 1.


  2. Cut a 5¾” x 3¾” card from the torn out green side of the Fantasy sheet. Matt the landscape photo.

  3. Adhere the matted photo 2¾” from the top and 2” from the left hand margin, sliding it under the pocket created with the background. PRO TIP: When you are building clusters and are not sure where they will go, do not adhere the corners of your photos yet, only adhere the centre parts of the card. That way you can slide clusters under the sides and corners of your photo until you are happy with the placement and then adhere the corners.

  4. Fussy cut the whole Enchanted Forest Cut-a-part sheet for embellishments

  5. Carefully remove the backing off one of the vellum mushroom clusters and adhere it to the top left hand corner of the photo. Adhere the same mushroom cluster at the bottom right hand corner of the photo, slightly under the photos right side – See image 2.


  6. Adhere the word STORY (the outline only) from the creative cuts towards the bottom of the photo – See image 3.


  7. Using a craft matt. Press Distress Oxide, Broken China onto the craft matt, spritz lightly with water and using a paintbrush, pick up some ink and splatter the inside part of the word Spritz the word lightly with water and repeat the same with Distress Oxide, Uncharted Mariner. Allow to air dry completely – See image 4


  8. Making use of the cut-a-part sheet flowers and the creative cuts, build clusters – See image 5


  9. Adhere the inside part of STORY carefully back once dry. Adhere the barcode strip from Faerie Kingdom sheet, under the big title word.

  10. Create a small cluster of embellishments on the top right side of the photo using foam squares to adhere them in place. Use some of the dimensional stickers to finish the cluster – See image below

  11. To complete the page, adhere a title of your choice to match the photo. I used “Special” with the word Story – See image 6
