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 two square cards and glue them together to form a concertina style card (zig-zag).
2
Stand the card upright with the fold at the top, like a tent card, then fold the remaining front piece in half to form a smaller tent.
3
Cover the larger square part of the card with cherry patterned paper from the Secret Woodland pack. Stick the oval greeting panel on to a rectangle of green gingham patterned paper then attach this to a larger rectangle of red scalloped card and trim to fit keeping the scalloped edge at the bottom.
4
Attach two lengths of green striped ribbon to the back of the card and hang them over the fold and stick in place. Using foam pads, stick the greeting panel in place over the ribbons.
5
From a red 8 x 8 scalloped sheet, cut a strip to fit the front lower section of the card. (Because the sheet is wider than the card, the strip will need to be cut and overlapped in order to keep the scallops lined up around all three edges).
6
Fix it in place to the front of the card then add a rectangle of the green gingham paper on top. Tie a length of green striped ribbon across the panel and tie in a knot at the right hand side to secure.
7
Push out the six pyramage ovals from the sheet and layer them up using foam pads. Glue the pyramage to red card and trim around it with scalloped scissors to create a fancy border.
8
Finally glue the pyramage onto the front panel of the card partially covering the ribbon.
