1.Peel the white liner paper from the magnetic backing sheet from the message board kit. Apply the Sunshine Plaid cardstock to the magnetic message board.
2.Cut one piece of the laminated memo board sheet to 7 ½ by 8 ½ . Run it thru the Xyron machine and apply to a piece of lime green cardstock. Trim, leaving a Ό border on all sides. Run this thru the Xyron machine and apply to the lower left side of the message board.
It should look like this.
3. Cut a 3 x 12 sheet from both of the pink papers. Run one of them thru the Xyron machine and adhere them back-to-back to make a double-sided sheet. Punch 3 pinwheel shapes from this, and 3 from the double sided pink cardstock.
4.Follow the directions with the punch to fold the pinwheels. Decide which side of the pinwheel you prefer. Use the big Bite to punch a 1/8 hole in the center of each pinwheel. Add gold brads to the light pink pinwheels and white brads to the darker pink pinwheels. Apply adhesive foam squares to the back of all the pinwheels and adhere to the message board as shown.
5. Cut a piece of the pink swirls paper 2 ½ by 3 ½. Run it thru the Xyron machine and adhere in the upper right corner of the message board.
6.Use the template and a pencil to trace one Wendy and two Claire bows onto lime green cardstock. Cut them out inside the pencil lines. Follow the directions on the template to form the bows, using the stylus and ruler to emboss the lines. Erase any pencil marks before folding.
Punch 1/8 holes thru all layers and insert a mini pink brad in the Wendy bow and regular pink brads in the Claire bows.
Cut adhesive foam squares in half and use these to adhere the bows to the pink swirls rectangle.
7. Remove the backing paper from the penholder. Write Notes on the laminated memo board and insert pen in the holder. Place your memo board on your fridge or filing cabinet and begin communicating!!
