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
Cut a piece of ‘A Christmas Carol’ patterned paper slightly smaller than an A5 card, ink around the edges in chestnut roan chalk ink and stick to the centre. Ink around the edges of the card in creamy brown ink. Cut another piece of patterned paper measuring 18cm x 9cm and ink around the edges. Triple mat onto dark green, light green and burgundy card. Layer onto the left side of the card with 3D foam dots.
2
Cut a cream scalloped circle from card using the QuicKutz dies and Epic Six machine. Ink the edges to create a vintage look and draw a dot/dashed line around in green pen. Transfer the Christmas tree transfer onto the centre of the scalloped circle. Cut a large green card circle and layer the tree onto it with 3D foam dots. Attach this again to the top of the card with more foam dots.
3
Tie a bow from narrow organza ribbon and attach below with an adhesive dot. Using the glue pen, attach the Anita’s gem stones into each scallop of the circle.
4
Apply lettering onto spare cream card, spelling ‘Merry’ and ‘Christmas’ and double mount each word onto dark green and light green cardstock. (Optional) Tear along the bottom of the matting as a variation to having a straight edge! Attach the wording with more foam dots. Add a gem stone each side of the word ‘Merry’.
5
Attach a length of wide organza ribbon around the opening edge of the card and tie a knot. Trimming the ends to a neat 45° angle. Attach a line of three Doodlebug gems towards the bottom of the ribbon.
6
Draw a dot/ dashed line around the edge of the card in green pen to finish.
