Instruction

Use the Vaessen cutting ruler to cut 8 squares measuring 7.5x7.5cm out of the white Florence cardstock. Make sure that each edge has a 3cm margin and always leave 1cm between the squares you cut out.
Choose some fun prints from the Kaisercraft Summer Splash block and cut squares of around 8.5cmx8.5cm from these prints. Place these behind the white cardstock.
Fix the squares to the white cardstock with the magnetic stapler. Place the stapler base under the paper, put the transparent part onto the paper, over the magnets, then fit the pink stapler into the transparent frame and staple by pressing the stapler down.
Put the scrapbook layout into position in the Stamp Easy with the magnets. Put the stamps in the desired place and close the tool, so that the stamps stick to the Stamp Easy. Apply the ink and press the Stamp Easy shut for nice sharp stamp.
Stick a photo to white cardstock. Use the borders from the block to create an attractive frame for the photo. Fix the photo to the scrapbook layout with foam tape.
Decorate the layout with embellishments from the Summer Splash block and use the Kaisercraft cutting stencils to cut out a few decorative fish. Stick everything to the layout with the help of double-sided tape and foam tape.
