Getting Wild With The New Border Tools! – Challenge 1 for 2026

We’re jumping right in to 2026 with the new border tools and one of my all-time favorite collections from 2025, Wandering Wild. Unfortunately, this collection was from Secret Box 3 and is no longer available, but its popularity may be enough for CM to bring back a part 2? Let’s hope.

Anyways, I found a fun idea on the Creative Memories blog and that is the basis for this week’s challenge page!

It was fun to play with the newest tools, the Border Cutting Tools, that only take your cutting mat and custom cutting system blades to use. They are a handy set to have with you to make quick and very easy borders and cuts!

I also did a video, showing how to use these and how I put this layout together, on my YouTube Channel! You’ll want to go check that out, and subscribe to my channel so you get all sorts of updates, layout ideas, and sneak peeks!

If you are on my Ashley’s Scrappy VIPs group on Facebook, you can submit your completed challenge layout for a shot at my weekly prize! Just make sure you complete your page, take a picture of it, then post it to the comments of the challenge post (put out on Fridays at 10am and pinned to the “featured” section) by 11:59pm on Thursday, January 8, 2026!

Don’t forget to download your printable instructions from below too! AND, you can get a 2026 tracker printable at the bottom of this post as well so you don’t miss a single challenge this year.

I hope you have a fun time making this page, and that you share it in my group!
