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
Take pink cardstock and trim to 11x11”. Distress the edges with your scissors.
2
Cut into the cardstock on the left and right edges. Distress and then gently roll
3
Take two pink/red papers from the red hot capsule collection. Cut triangles of paper slightly bigger than the tears in the cardstock. Adhere to the rolled over edges by sticking the sides down and also attaching at the back with double sided tape. Stick down onto white cardstock
4
Cut a further section of one of the papers into a large circle (draw round a plate or your double sided tape). Distress the edges and stick a third of the way down just to the right of centre.
5
Trim red dot paper into a large label shape distress the edges and stick down over the bottom right hand corner of the circle.
6
Stick small photos (mine are pretend polaroids!) across the label shape in an overlapping manner. Add a polka dot button to the left hand side of each photo.
7
Cut a small strip of pink gingham paper with decorative scissors and attach to the bottom of the label shape.
8
Print the word “crazy” in a large size font onto one of the patterned papers and “in love” in a small size font onto a piece of shocking pink cardstock using your printer. Cut around each of the letters of “crazy” and cut the other letters into separate small rectangles.
9
Stick “crazy" across the label and circle shapes and “in love” on the circle overlapping the photos slightly.
10
Add the first word of the title using alphabet cardstock stickers. Put a stick on gem in place of the dot above the “i”
11
Create a layered flower by cutting out and distressing three circles, two from the capsule collection patterned papers and one from the shocking pink cardstock. Stick them together and adhere over the pink gingham strip. Add journaling to the cardstock layer and finish off with a small bow (snip off the ends if liked)
12
Cut a red paper circle and distress the edges. Cut off 1/3 of the circle and stick to the top right hand edge of the pink cardstock. Add red gingham ribbon with one edge folded over to make a loop using double sided tape. Top with pink and white paper flowers and a red gem in the middle
