You Inspire Me - 1 Make a white top-fold blank, 14cm x 15cm. Trim yellow patterned paper, the same size, and die-cut the wreath from it. Matt the aperture panel to the card front.
2 Using the die, cut a wreath from green patterned paper and fix in place. Trim different patterned papers into shape and secure to form coloured flowers.
3 Cut away the outer edges so the wreath overhangs the edge and the main body of the greeting measures 10cm wide.
4 Stamp the sentiment onto patterned paper, then fold to create dimension and glue to the card front. Finish with yellow drops and highlights using the Midas Touch Aqua Shimmer pen. -
Make A Wish - 1 Create a blank, 14cm square, using blue striped card. Secure a smaller piece of white on top. Die-cut the focal frame from green patterned paper and fix in place.
2 Trim four other papers with the same die, then use these shapes to fill recesses as shown. Secure four large shapes offset to the base pattern.
3 Stamp the sentiment onto patterned paper and emboss in white, then trim out. Secure to the greeting with foam pads, then embellish with yellow drops. -
Happy Tag - 1 Take a striped tag, 7cm x 15cm, and trim a slightly smaller shape from white card. Use the Tangled Vine die to cut the focal from patterned pink paper and glue to the tag.
2 Repeat with four other papers. Fix these shapes into the spaces around the pink focal and add yellow drops.
3 Stamp the sentiment onto green patterned paper, then emboss in white. Punch a hole in the top and thread with ribbon, then tie with twine to finish.
