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
Cover an A5 card blank with pink patterned paper. Cut an 11.5 x 8cm aperture centrally from the card.
2
Stamp the cottage scene onto white cardstock, and trim to measure 12 x 14.5cm. Also stamp the gate trellis, foxgloves and rosebush and cut out. Colour with Zig art and graphic twin markers and a waterbrush.
3
Cut two pieces of white cardstock measuring 4 x 12cm. Score along the length at 1cm intervals so the card is split into 4 sections. Fold like a concertina to form a ‘W’shape. Fix to the left and right edges of the stamped image, and stick to the underside of the cardstock so that the image can be seen through the aperture.
4
Fix the trellis and flowers to the underside of the aperture, but directly onto the card blank, creating a 3D scene. Use 3D foam pads on the rosebush for even greater depth.
5
Trim green patterned paper to measure 18.5 x 12.5 cm, and cut an aperture, leaving a 1.5cm border. Fix this to the card blank as shown. Add glitterations borders around the aperture and patterned paper frame.
6
Stamp a greeting onto white cardstock and trim to 6 x 2cm. Punch half circles from each corner using the 4mm extension circle punch. Use a black fine line pen to frame the greeting, and fix into place using 3D foam pads.
7
Finally add white adhesive pearls to the left and right of the greeting panel to finish.
