The Projects
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on a tried-and-true favorite: the Picket Fence Border Maker Cartridge! If you’ve been scrapbooking with Creative Memories for a while, chances are this cartridge is already in your collection—after all, it comes included with the Border Maker System and is one of the most widely owned cartridges among CM fans.
But let’s be honest—it’s been around for quite a while, and sometimes that means it gets overlooked in favor of newer tools. That’s why I’m so excited to revisit it and explore its full creative potential during this week’s Scrapbook Live!
I’ll be sharing three fun and fresh project ideas to breathe new life into your Picket Fence BMC:
Project 1: Fold & Punch Picket Frame
We’ll start with a single-page 12×12 layout that features a simple fold-and-punch technique to create a beautiful custom frame. I’ll show you how weaving paper strips into the punched design can instantly elevate your page and give it a clean, finished look with a touch of dimension.
Project 2 & 3: Picket Plaid and Picket Panel Borders
Next, I’ll demonstrate two striking border designs—each with its own distinct style. These projects will show just how versatile the Picket Fence cartridge can be, whether you’re going for a classic, elegant vibe or something bold and playful. You’ll be amazed at the different effects you can achieve with just one punch!
So dust off that Picket Fence BMC and join me for a creative session full of inspiration, tips, and a fresh perspective on a timeless tool. Let’s rediscover the magic together!
