instructions
  1. Thank You Card - Fold a pink inner in half. Cut a strip of green paper, the same height and 4cm wide, then stick with spray adhesive, just off-centre. Snip pink ribbon and tie around the blank, over the green strip, in a bow. Trim the ends at an angle.

    Cut more ribbon, pass through a card tag, then thread onto a diamanté buckle. Trim a small pink rectangle and fix to the tag. Pull most of the down off a pink feather, leaving a tuft at the top, then snip into an arrow shape.

    Trim a ‘Thank You’ tag and adhere over the pink rectangle, trapping the feather underneath. Place a glue dot underneath the buckle, tuck the ribbons under the bow and stick in place.

  2. Save the Date - Fold a pink inner and A5 mint green paper in half. Trim the paper to the same height as the card, and 2cm from the edge. Attach inside the card with spray adhesive. Snip a strip of flocked border from transparent paper and fix to the edge of the pink card. Stretch beaded elastic over the border, then add a wire dragonfly with a glue dot. Stick a ‘Save the Date’ tag near the base with 3-D foam.

  3. Invitation Card - Cut mint green paper, 7.5cm x 9cm, and pink Saa, 7cm x 7.5cm. Glue the pink to the green, and both to the fold of a white blank. Snip pink ribbon, wrap twice around the front of the card, and tie in a bow. Fix a diamanté flower to an ‘invitation’ tag, then attach to the base. Adhere six pink organza and three crystal flowers randomly over the front.
