To make ‘Enjoy’
1. Emboss a piece of pink paper using the xx flowers embossing folder and trim to fit the card blank. Ink the edges with a pink pen or ink pad and glue onto the card blank.
2. Emboss a piece of co-ordinating patterned paper and cut out two flowers. Stick these onto the pink panel using 3D foam squares, lining them up with the corresponding flowers underneath.
3. Add Adhesive Pearls as shown and highlight the embossed design using your pink pen.
4. Finish your card with a rub-on word or phrase.
To make ‘New Home’
1. Choose three different patterned papers and hand cut a roof, house, door and windows.
2. Ink the edges of the door and windows using black pen.
3. Stick your paper pieces to the card as shown and doodle roof tiles, a chimney, smoke and a letter box with your black pen.
4. Handwrite ‘New Home’ to finish.
To make ‘Mosaic Flower’
1. Trim 1cm from the right hand side of the front of a cream DL card blank.
2. Cut 3cm squares from four different patterned papers (you will need 21 in total) and ink the edges with brown ink. Glue your squares to your card blank, creating a random pattern.
3. Cut a 5cm x 9cm piece of white paper and a 5.5cm x 9.5cm piece of brown paper. Glue the white piece to the brown and stick the panel onto your card using 3D foam squares.
4. Punch or cut a small circle then hand-cut petal shapes in co-ordinating paper and glue them to the back of the circle. Cut a piece of green paper to make a curved stem. Gently shape the petals with your fingers. Stick your flower to your card using 3D foam squares in the centre only and glue your stem in place.
