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
Boot Card
Trace around the front and back of the boot card onto red velvet cardstock then cut out. Cut the heels off the red parts and trace around these on to black glitter card.
2
Now glue the red section and the black heels in place to the front and back of the boot.
3
Cut three strips of white glitter card with scalloped scissors and then trim each one to fit across the top of the boot. Layer these on top of each other with foam pads and attach an adhesive pearl to the centre of each scallop.
4
Lightly edge this white section with red fluid chalk and glue in place to the top of the boot.
5
Punch 5 holes down the front edge of the boot approximately 1cm apart using the Crop-a-dile. Set a white eyelet in each hole.
6
Thread black organza ribbon through the holes (as though you were lacing a boot) and tie in a bow at the top.
7
Add stitching detail all around the edge of the boot to complete.
8
Handbag Card
Trace around the front of the handbag card on to black glitter card and trace around the front flap on to red velvet cardstock.
9
Cut these out and glue in place to the front of the bag. Add a large adhesive pearl to the red panel then secure the panel in place with a foam pad.
10
Cut three lengths of white glitter card using the scalloped scissors and layer on top of each other with foam pads.
11
Glue in place across the centre of the bag and trim off the excess at each end.
12
Using black organza ribbon, tie a bow and glue on to the centre of the white strip. Add an adhesive pearl to each scallop at either side of the bow.
13
Using a black fine tip marker, add stitch detail to the bag handle and the red panel. Use a white pen to add the same stitch detail to the black part of the bag to finish.
