Stamp border stamp on ivory border strips using Black Archival ink
stamping off the side edges and even with the bottom edge.
3)
Trim the top of the stamped borders using paper trimmer to 5/8 x 6”.
(The extra 1/8” was to give you something to hold onto while stamping. #8)
4)
Measure in 5/8” on all four sides of 4.25 x 3.5” piece of ivory card
stock marking the lines lightly in pencil and the corners with a dot.
5)
Place marked card stock in paper trimmer so one of the vertical pencil
lines is centered on the cutting grove. Lift the blade arm and move the cutting
head to a place on the vertical pencil line at one of the corners. Cut along
pencil line from corner to corner of drawn rectangle being careful to not cut
past the horizontal pencil line at the top & bottom.
6)
Lift blade arm and turn card stock 90 degrees and cut second pencil line.
Turn and cut 3rd side. Turn and cut 4th side. The center
rectangle should just fall out. If it doesn’t, take a craft knife and cut
towards the corners being careful to stop at the dot.
7)
Erase any pencil lines.
8)
Stamp title with alphabet using Black Archival ink around frame.
9)
Place photo behind frame to see where you may need to crop the edges.
Crop where needed so photo edges don’t show outside the frame. Mount photo to

Mount border strips to top & bottom of page. Center and mount frame
to page.
TA DA! You can now show your bitty babies to all. ~
