Directions:

• Cut an 8″ x 10″ piece of red scrapbook paper and insert inside rustic frame.
• Cut a piece of 3 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ matboard and a 3 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ piece of gray scrapbook paper.

• Lay the 3 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ gray scrapbook design side up on the Xyron Creative Station*, crank the handle to run the paper through the machine.  As it moves through the Xyron CreativeStation* it adds adhesive to the backside of the paper.
• Adhere the gray scrapbook paper onto the 3 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ piece of matboard.

• Using a  Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*, create and cut the words “Happiness is” and “homemade”.
• Using the weeding tool, carefully remove the negative spaces in and around the letters.

• Cut a piece of transfer paper a little larger than the “heart and homemade” words.
• Lay transfer paper over “heart and homemade”. Give a gentle rub using scraper tool.

• Apply onto the gray chipboard paper. Remove transfer paper.
• Center the words “happiness is” between “heart and homemade” and repeat the process.
• Apply adhesive to the back of the chipboard layer using the Xyron tape runner.

• Adhere the chipboard layer centered in the frame.
• Add red felt flower to right corner of the frame.
