In making 6 x 6 things. I like to use Bo Bunny blanks. On two of the 6 x 6 chipboard pieces turn them around to use manufactures holes as guide. Use ¼” hole punch to punch the two holes on the opposite side of chipboard. Two chipboard pieces have 4 holes, and the bottom chipboard has 2.

1^st square: Using ZipDry glue 6 x 6 starry print to top chipboard piece. Put glue on chipboard it works better that way. Use bone folder to smooth paper in place. Turn over and trim extra paper with knife. Use a nail file to sand edges smooth with chipboard. Punch holes out of the paper.

Glue a 2 x 6 icon print to the top of the 6x6 piece. Punch out holes again. Trim extra paper, sand.

Punch out edge using 1 x 6 dk brown cardstock and paper edge punch.

Glue down edge, butting it up to the icon print paper. Trim extra paper,  sand.

Glue ¼ x 6 plaid print over seam of two previous papers. Trim extra paper, sand.

Use Chalk Ink to Ink edge of chipboard.

Glue Photo mat down at bottom, right above holes. Do NOT cover holes. Centering left to right.

I used “The Great Outdoors” and “a camping we will go”. I did stick two stickers together to make one big one. I used foam mounting tape to stick them down. Follow the Picture for placement.
