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!

Step by Step
1
Take two of the cream cards. Fold down the front top corner of one card and secure with a floral brad. Folds down the inside top corner of the other card and again secure with a brad. Glue the two cards inside themselves, applying the glue around the bottom and edge of the card only to leave a pocket at the front and inside the card.
2
Cut a strip of the striped paper to measure 6cm by 10.5cm and punch a row of the small flowers on one long edge. Cover the bottom part of the front of the card using this punched strip. Add a length of the sticky ribbon at the top of this panel.
3
Add some of the punched flowers, each with a fuschia gemstone in the centre, on the folded flap.
4
Stamp the 'Thankyou' message on some of the fuschia card. Trim to measure approximately 6.5cm by 2.5cm. Layer on pale pink card and mount using 3D foam pads at the bottom of your card. Add a punched flower with a gemstone centre.
5
Add a watering can to some of the green swirl paper. Cut out neatly and add to the internal flap. Add some of the lime green adhesive gems to represent water coming from the spout.
6
Tuck your seed packet inside the internal flap and write the name of the plant of a green craft stick with a permanent pen to act as a plant marker for the garden. Tuck this inside the front flap.
