Funky Flowers Gatefold Card

This lovely gatefold card design can be used for any occasion or simply as a notelet.

Funky Flowers Gatefold Card

What you will need to make this card:

  1. A6 white gatefold card blank
  2. Decorating chalks
  3. Sponge dauber
  4. Funky flowers – patterns
  5. Corner peel off stickers
  6. Sticky foam pads
  7. Craft glue

How to make:

Use the sponge dauber to chalk all over the card blank, use a light base colour smudged all over and then a darker co-ordinating colour to make a sponged effect on top.

Make 3 x 3D flower embellishments using flowers from the funky flowers pack. Take a large flower and using sticky foam pads layer another large flower on top twisted round and then layer a smaller flower on top of that.

Using craft glue stick one of the flower embellishments to the top left of the card blank, another to the bottom right of the card blank and the third to the centre of the left flap of the card blank so it overlaps the right flap but is not actually stuck to the right flap.

Finally use peel off decorative corners of your choice in the top right and bottom left corners of the card.

Home Sweet Home Card

This is a bright and cheerful card that is perfect to welcome anyone to their new home.

Home Sweet Home Card

  1. A6 cream card blank
  2. Pale yellow handmade mulberry paper
  3. Home sweet home die-cut embellishment
  4. Primary mini flower brads
  5. New Home peel off sheet – Gold
  6. Double sided sticky tape
  7. Craft glue
  8. Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat

How to make this card:

Measure and cut out a 80mm wide x 90mm high rectangle from the pale yellow handmade mulberry paper.

Along the bottom edge of this mulberry rectangle measure and make a small hole 10mm up from the bottom edge and 10mm in from the left hand side and then from that hole make more small holes at roughly 12mm gaps all 10mm up from the bottom. You should end up with a row of 6 small holes with the first and last hole being about 10mm in from either side. Push a mini flower brad through each of the holes and bend the prongs back behind. We have used 6 different colour brads but you can use whichever colours you prefer.

Use craft glue to stick the home sweet home die-cut embellishment to the muberry rectangle above the row of brads.

Next use double sided sticky tape on all four edges of the mulberry rectangle to stick it to the centre of the card blank.

Finally from the gold new home peel off sheet apply the words ‘Welcome to your’ to the top left of the card, the words ‘New Home’ to the bottom right of the card and a small key to the bottom left and top right hand corners.
