One of my favorite new lines is Kimberly Poloson's Cabana Blooms. In this layout, I wanted to show the versatility of Fiskars eyelet setters set. They are hole punches and eyelet setters all in one no hammers required! See how you can not only set eyelets, but create a nice border using the hole-punch end of the tools by mixing the different sizes.

Required supplies:

  • Eyelet Setters 3-Piece Set
  • Desktop Rotary Trimmer
  • No. 5 Softgrip® Micro-Tip® Craft Scissors
  • Kimberly Poloson "Cabana Blooms" papers, buttons, flowers, chipboard, and stickers
  • other- eyelets, date stamp, ink

Instructions

1. Use the Floral Harlequin (green side) as the page background.
2. Add a metal photo corner to a 5x7 photo (horizontal). Adhere centered & placed 2 1/2 from top edge of page.
3. Trim a 3 3/4 x 12 Antique Flourish strip & cut a slight curve along one long edge. Set aside.
4. Trim a strip of Stripes paper & cut a slight curve along one long edge. Layer this behind the Antique Flourish curved strip from step #3. Do not adhere to page yet.
5. Along the curve of the strip, glue assorted buttons & set eyelets in between as shown.
6. Apply your title on bottom edge of this strip with chipboard letters. To the right of the title, punch holes in a straight line using 2 sizes of eyelet setters (hole punch end). Add remaining sticker title above this line.
7. Adhere this curved layered strip at the bottom of the page, slightly overlapping the photo.
8. Add a 1/2 x 12 strip of the Ribbon Stripes paper to the bottom.
9. Attach a 7/8 x 12 strip of the dotted side of the Antique flourish paper on the page above the photo. Then, add a 1/2 x 12 strip of the Ribbon Stripes paper to the top.
10. Finally, add remaining buttons, chipboard shapes, flower, tag (with clear stickers), and journaled chipboard (with stamped date) square as shown.
