What is required to make this card:

  1. 120mm x 120mm square white card blank
  2. Some plain white card
  3. Die-Cut Decoupage Sheet – Floral 122
  4. Stickles Glitter Glue – Waterfall
  5. Sticky foam pads
  6. Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat

Directions to make:

Measure and cut out a 12cm x 2.5cm rectangle from the spare white card. Use sticky foam pads to stick this to the very left hand side of the card blank.

Push all of the image ‘B’ sections out of the decoupage sheet and using sticky foam pads layer them in the correct order onto the right hand side of the card blank. If you want to use a peel off sentiment with this card remember to leave a gap at the top or bottom for it or stick it at an angle to the bottom right hand corner.

Use the blue waterfall stickles glitter glue to draw a decorative design on the card strip on the left hand side of the card blank. Leave the card laid flat to one side to allow the glitter glue to dry before use.

Bright Flowerpot Trio Card

What is required to make this card:

  1. A6 White Card Blank (used tentfold style)
  2. Woodware Large Lever Craft Punch – Plant Pot
  3. Handmade Mulberry Paper – Light Blue
  4. Handmade Mulberry Paper – Light Pink
  5. Handmade Mulberry Paper – Pale Yellow
  6. A5 Glitter Pattern Paper Pack – Turquoise/Pink
  7. Tiny Decorative Flowers Mixed Colours
  8. Satin 5mm Ribbon – Light Blue
  9. 3mm and 6mm double sided sticky tape
  10. Craft Glue
  11. 5mm Sticky Foam Pads
  12. Craft knife, pencil, ruler, cutting mat & sellotape

How to make:

Take the mint green silk paper with the turquoise glitter design on it from the A5 glitter pattern paper pack and cut a rectangle that measures 48mm high x 147mm wide. N.B. The width needs to be the exact width of your card blank, as sizes can vary slightly it is a good idea for you to measure the card blank you intend to use to check the size.

Use 6mm double sided sticky tape on all four edges of the back of the glitter pattern paper rectangle and then using the card blank tent fold style stick the paper to the bottom of the card blank.

Cut a 155mm length of the satin blue ribbon, fold enough over each end to make the ribbon strip the exact width of the tentfold card blank. Glue the ends in place, this gives the ribbon neat tidy ends and avoids fraying.

Apply a strip of the 3mm double sided sticky tape all the way across the card blank directly above the glitter pattern paper. Carefully stick the ribbon strip to the double sided tape taking care to keep the ribbon straight.

Use the plant pot craft punch to punch out a flowerpot shape from all three handmade mulberry paper colours – light blue, light pink and pale yellow.

Take three blue flowers, three yellow flowers and three pink flowers from the pack of tiny decorative flowers. Use some sellotape to secure the stems of the blue flowers to the back of the blue flowerpot and do the same with the yellow and pink flowers securing them to the yellow and pink flowerpots.

Use some sticky foam pads to stick the flowerpots in a row above the blue ribbon strip and use a dab of glue behind each flowerhead to stick them to the surface of the card blank.
