DOCRAFTS CREATIVITY MAGAZINE ISSUE 33 MAY/JUN 2012
This issue we feature a delightful collection from Lucy Cromwell by Papermania, off ering all the cups of tea, cake and bunting you will need to set the scene. And just to prove how versatile this range is, you can also find it in our ‘Wedding Special’ feature and used to make a Father’s Day card in our ‘make a Father’s Day card’ challenge! Our ‘Wedding Special’ feature also includes jewellery for the bride and a charming idea to hold onto those precious memories of the big day!

Step by Step
1
Trim a 13 x 13cm piece of oriental patterned paper and stick to a square cream card blank. Outline with black outline borders. Cut a 5 x 13cm complementing rectangle of oriental patterned paper, and mount onto black cardstock, leaving a small border.
2
Trim a 1 x 13 cm piece of patterned paper and mount onto black cardstock. Stick to the centre of the rectangle of card and prick holes above and below as shown. Draw a freehand black pen line through the holes.
3
Fix a length of ribbon along the centre of the patterned paper, and tie a bow to the left of the card. Loop the ends of the ribbon underneath the panels for a neat finish. Stick the whole rectangle to the centre of the card as shown. Put to one side.
4
Stick a cherry blossom tree outline sticker onto patterned paper from the oriental paper pack and colour the trunk with black pen. Where the outline sticker overhangs the paper, attach to acetate and trim. Mount onto complementing patterned paper and then onto black card. Add a free hand black line around the edge of the sticker and brads to the corners. Mount onto the card as shown.
5
Finally add glitter to the blossom and clear gloss to the trunk of the tree for a shiny finish.
