Place 12”x12” Stolen Moments postmark border paper with the postmark at the bottom right corner and the lace border at the bottom.
Following the manufacturer’s instructions of your die-cutting machine, use the large lattice oval and outline cutting dies together to create a large lattice oval die-cut from suede. Repeat for another die-cut. Use the small lattice oval and outline cutting dies together to create two lattice oval die-cuts from vellum. Glue the vellum die-cuts centered over the suede die-cuts. Lay one layered set with the long length horizontal and cut horizontally across the center. Lay the other layered set with the long length vertical and cut horizontally across the center. Save for Step 3.
Mat two 3 1/2”x5” photos on ivory cardstock with 1/16” borders, then mat both side by side on 7 3/4”x5 3/8” Stolen Moments brown paper, keeping 1/8” borders between photos and on the outer edges. Glue the photos 2” from the upper and side edges of your page, gluing the saved cut die-cuts under all four edges (use the long die-cuts on the top and bottom, and use the shorter die-cuts on the sides, as shown).
Cut two each of the Sabata die-cuts from the following papers: Stolen Moments brown paper, teal paper and vellum. Flip each paper when doing the second die-cut, to get opposite direction die-cuts. Glue each set of three die-cuts on the left and right of your page, placing the brown in the back, the vellum next (overlapping the bottom corners of the photos) and ending with the teal paper. Cut two small “bow” die-cuts and foam tape at the top and bottom of the photo center border.
Use the Silver StazOn® ink pad to color “It’s the Little Things,” and the “Love” and “Cherish” banner tags. Let dry, then place the “Little Things” sentiment at the bottom of the page, and the two banner sentiments onto the 1” ivory grosgrain ribbon. Cut a “V” in the ends of the ribbon and tuck under the outer edges of the photos, foam taping in place as shown.
Bend up the wings of four metal butterfly embellishments and foam tape in place as shown. I used a double layer of foam tape under each wing.
