Daffodil Decoupage Card

Decoupage really gives a card project depth, the 3D layers on these daffodils really make them jump out from the card surface. Whilst this card is lovely for any occasion, the daffodil design makes it an ideal Easter card. Next to the completed card below is an image of the actual decoupage sheet used.

Daffodil decoupage card Tulip / Daffodil / Daisy Trios Decoupage Sheet

What you will need to make this card:

  1. A6 Cream Oval Aperture Card Blank
  2. Tulip / Daffodil / Daisy Trios Decoupage Sheet for the daffodils (sheet pictured above right).
  3. Mid Green Mulberry Tissue Paper
  4. Classic Corners Peel Off Sheet – Gold
  5. Double sided sticky tape, craft glue and sticky foam pads or silicon glue
  6. Decoupage Scissors

How to make:

Cut a rectangle from the mid green mulberry tissue paper and use double sided sticky tape to secure it to the back of the oval aperture.

Next fold the left hand side of the card blank over the back of the aperture and secure this in place with double sided sticky tape.

Use the decoupage scissors to carefully cut out all of the daffodil sections.

Stick the bottom layer of the daffodils onto the oval aperture, the tips of the petals and leaves will overlap the edges of the aperture slightly in places.

Use sticky foam pads or silicon glue to stick all of the remaining daffodil layers in place.

To complete the card apply a corner from the gold classic corners peel off sheet to each of the four corners of the card blank.

Useful tips for this project:

  1. When you cut the daffodil sections out, you can lightly pencil in numbers on the back of each section to make it easier to match them up again later.
  2. Use felt tip pens of the same colour as the decoupage sections to carefully colour the white side edges of the paper as this ensures there are no white bits showing on the finished card.
  3. Allow each peel off sticker corner to relax for a minute or so before applying to the card, this will allow it to regain its shape if it has stretched at all when it was peeled away from the backing sheet.

Daisy Trio Decoupage Card

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.

Daisy Trio Mother’s Day Decoupage Card

Items required to make this card:

  1. A6 white card blank
  2. Some purple card
  3. Woodware Super Craft Punch – Square
  4. Tulip / Daffodil / Daisy Trios Decoupage Sheet – for the daisy trio (sheet pictured below)
  5. Woodware Mini Round Brads – Pastel
  6. Father’s/Mother’s Day/Brother/Sister Peel Off Sheet – Gold
  7. Sticky foam pads
  8. Decoupage scissors
  9. Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat

Tulip / Daffodil / Daisy Trios Decoupage Sheet

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.
