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
Stamp Santa and Rudolf onto a piece of white cardstock using brown pigment ink and clear embossing powder. Colour with Papermania Strokes pen, using the watercolour technique (scribble your chosen colour on to a non- porous surface and pick up colour with a wet paintbrush.), blending and creating light and shade. Trim the stamped cardstock to measure 8 x 6.5 cm and mount onto red core’dinations cardstock, leaving a small border. Put to one side.

Cut green snowflake patterned paper to measure 13 x 13cm and mount onto red core’dinations cardstock leaving a small border. Stick to a white card blank.
3
Cut multicoloured snowflake paper to measure 5.5 x 13cm and ink the edges using brown ink and a cosmetic sponge. Fix to the left of the card. Cut red spotty paper to measure 6 x 11.5cm, ink as before and stick slightly to the right of the snowflake panel.
4
Trim multicoloured spotty paper to measure 5.5 x13cm, ink and fix to the centre of the card, running horizontally. Cut a panel of green snowflake paper to measure 6.5 x 10cm, ink and stick to the card blank, positioned as shown. Fix the stamped panel to the card blank, using 3D foam pads.

Add snowflakes to the top left and a greeting to the bottom right of the stamped panel, and finally add hand drawn borders around some of the panels of patterned paper using the fine tip of a brown pen.
