Handcrafted Boutique Easter

You Will Need:

Square Panel Card

Cut some strips of scrap card at least 15cm long to 2.75cm and 4cm wide. A paper trimmer makes this much easier than a craft knife and cutting matt. Using the card lengths like a ruler draw lines 2.75cm in from each edge of the card on the inside front panel. Then draw lines 4cm in from each of the lines you have just drawn. Use a craft knife, ruler and cutting matt to cut out the four squares you have drawn. If your edges are a little rough you can smooth them down with the back of a teaspoon or for more accuracy use an embossing tool.

Cut four 3.5cm squares from a ivory card. Put a tiny bit of double sided tape in each corner of each square and stick them over the apertures. Next cut four 3cm squares from white card and stick them to the fist squares as shown.

Stick an embellishment to the centre of each square.

Chick and Eggs Card

Punch each courner of the card with the Victorian courner punch. Cut some ivory card to 11.5cm square and white card to 11cm square. Punch each courner of the white card. Cut some ivory card to 5cm square.

Cut a piece of scrap card to 7cm square. Use masking tape to secure your template to the back of the 11cm white card. Use an embossing tool to emboss the square.

Stick the ivory and white cards onto the card as shown. Add an embelishment to the last panel and a second in one courner of the card.

Basket Card

Cut some ivory card to 8cm square and some to 6cm square. Stick the 8cm square to the centre of the card and use 3D foam pads to stick the 6cm square on top of this. Stick border peel offs about 1cm in from each edge of the card. This is easier of you use some 1cm wide scrap card as a guide.

Stick border peel offs around the outter edges of the 6cm square. Add the embelishments as shown.
