Step 2: Cut out the pieces you have just traced onto cardstock.  Keep all these pieces in a separate pile.

Step 4: Trace and cut out the pieces from the second border.  Keep all these pieces in a separate pile.

Step 5: Lay first border you have traced onto your base piece of cardstock.

Step 6: Place the second border on the template over the border you just put together on your base piece of cardstock.

Now...Repeat Step 5 with the second border
