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

Fold green card and draw a parenthesis shape to make a shaped square card blank and cut out, being sure to keep some sections of the spine of the card in place.

2

Punch a decorative border from a foiled patterned paper and glue at the top of the card. Trim neatly to the top of the card.

3

Cut a 7.5cm square aperture in the front of the card.

4

Die-cut an 8cm scalloped square using the Xcut Nesting dies from the Henbury Lane Poinsettia collection and glue inside the card so that it peeps through the aperture.

5

Trim the vellum greeting to a square and glue on top.

6

Apply the bronze outline stickers across the bottom of the card and layer the leaves and the poinsettia flowers on top. Add an embroidered brad on top.

7

Add a pair of the leaves under the vellum sentiment and add a glazed brad in the centre.

8

Add adhesive stones to the sentiment panel, the border strip and the outline sticker to accent.

9

Add a little glitter glue using a paintbrush to the flowers, leaves and around the card surround to finish.
