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

Fold pink cardstock to make a tent fold card blank measuring 13.5x15cm. Die-cut both sides with the border die.

2

Trim pink and white snowflake paper to measure 8x15cm. Glue centrally and stitch either side with a sewing machine (or by hand if you prefer). Tear a pale teal strip measuring about 5cm wide and glue in the centre.

3

Pop out the diecut tag and knot white lace ribbon through the hole. Glue centrally using 3D foam pads.

4

Trim narrow strips of the pink paper and the greeting paper from the Festive Frolics pack. Use staples as a decorative fixing to secure a strip of the white lace and these paper strips at the bottom of the card.

5

Die cut the scalloped circle and use a hole punch to add a hole to each scallop. Glue centrally.

6

Add a purple felt dove centrally using 3D foam pads. Add the wing from a white dove. Add some glitter over and allow to dry.

7

Trim white and pink snowflake paper to measure 11.5x2.5cm. Punch the ribbon border and weave the ribbon through, securing on the reverse. Add a ribbon bow to the centre and glue this panel at the top of the card.

8

Add a brad to the centre of each of the die-cut shapes on the borders to complete.
