Instructions:
Cut 2 sheets of Spring Garden Paper Collection 9 x 9” and adhere together with 1/2” overlap to give an overall size (17 1/2 x 9”). Use the cardboard backing from your paper collections and cut x2 5 1/2 x 7 3/8”, x2 3/4 x 7 3/8”, x1 2 3/4 x 7 3/8”. Adhere 3 1 x 8” off cuts together to create a guide. Lay down the cardboard pieces dry first to get an idea of centred position. Adhere 2 1/2” magnets on the underside of the first 5 1/2” piece of cardboard (left hand side of underneath). Glue down left to right cardboard (portrait) 5 1/2”, 3/4”, 5 1/2”, 3/4”, 2 3/4”. Use the guide to space each piece equally apart. Mitre the corners with scissors or a kraft knife close to the cardboard. Gently run a ball tool along the cardboard and crease the paper around each edge and adhere. Adhere 2 pieces of Spring Garden Paper Collection together to create the lining 16 x 7 1/4”, edge with Deep Purple. Lay 2 magnets on top of the existing paper covered magnets and add double sided adhesive onto the adjoining cardboard piece. Gently bring the flap over, ensure square and rub only on the magnets and carefully pull back, the adhesive should pick up the loose magnets in the correct position. Lay the lining piece over and with a bone folder rub the paper into the spine gaps. Adhere over the top of the magnets on the inside mat and layered scalloped Decorative Circles.
