This is a lovely 3D decoupage card which has a clean and simple design but also looks rather elegant. Who else deserves the personal touch that only a handmade card gives other than your Mum on Mother’s day. The completed card is pictured directly below and an image of the actual decoupage sheet that the three daisies came from is pictured further down.
Items required to make this card:
- A6 white card blank
- Some purple card
- Woodware Super Craft Punch – Square
- Tulip / Daffodil / Daisy Trios Decoupage Sheet – for the daisy trio (sheet pictured below)
- Woodware Mini Round Brads – Pastel
- Father’s/Mother’s Day/Brother/Sister Peel Off Sheet – Gold
- Sticky foam pads
- Decoupage scissors
- Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat
How to make:
Cut out 3 squares from the purple card using the super square craft punch.
Using the decoupage scissors (and craft knife for any tiny inner sections) carefully cut out the three daisy flowers from the decoupage sheet and using sticky foam pads mount each daisy to the centre of one of the purple card squares. As each daisy has three layers which look quite similar, you might find it easier to cut and mount one flower fully before moving onto cutting out the next one.
Take the white card blank and using it landscape (tentfold style), mount the three daisy topped purple card squares in a line across it as shown in the picture.
Measure and cut out a strip from the same purple card that measures 1cm high and is as wide as the line of squares (the width of the strip will depend on how close you mount the squares to each other).
Using the tip of your craft knife carefully make 5 small holes along the card strip. Start with a hole in the centre and then evenly space two holes either side of the centre hole. Push a round lilac brad through each hole and bend it’s prongs back behind the card strip.
Use sticky foam pads to stick this bradded card strip to the bottom of the card blank, lined up with the three card squares above.
To finish the card off apply the sentiment. From the gold Father’s/Mother’s Day/Brother/Sister peel off sheet remove the words ‘Happy’, ‘Mother’s’ and ‘Day’. Stick these words in the gap between the three daisy squares and the brad decorated card strip as shown in the picture.
