Embelish It Purple

You Will Need:

Flowers Card

Stick border peel offs about 1cm in from each edge of the card. To make this easier cut some scrap card 1cm wide and use it as a guide when positioning the peel offs.

Tie the ribbon into a bow around the flower bunch. Trim off the excess wire and ribbon. Stick the bouquet to the card using a 3D foam pad.

Stick a peel off greeting onto the card to complete it.

Rush Card

Cut the backing paper to 6 x 12cm. Cut the backing mesh to 5.5cm x 11.5cm. Stick the paper onto the card. To stick the backing on top use glue dots micro dots. These are perfect for sticking on such delicate backing sheets. Place the backing sheet onto the sheet of glue dots and press it down using the glossy backing sheet to prevent getting the glue dots on your fingers.

Push one of the metal rings apart and place a bead in the join. Push the two ends of the ring into the bead. Tie the ring onto the rush with a little leftover ribbon. Use a 3D foam pad to stick the rush onto the card.

Use craft glue to stick some of the sequins on to the corners of the card. Complete with a peel off greeting.

Square Panels Card

Use a hole punch or eyelet setter to punch a hole in the top corner of the card. Make another ring as described for the Rush Card and place it through to hole.

Cut a piece of scrap card to 10 x 21cm. Use a 1.5cm wide scrap of card to mark pencil lines 1.5cm from the top and bottom of the scrap card. Mark lines 5cm in from each of these and then another 1.5cm. Cut another strip of scrap card 2.5cm wide and use this to mark pencil lines 2.5cm in from each side of the scrap card. Use a craft knife and cutting matt to cut out the three 5cm squares you have drawn. Use masking tape to secure your template to the back of the front panel of the cream card. Use an embossing tool to emboss the squares.

Cut some of the leftover backing paper into three 4cm squares. Use double sided tape to stick the squares on to the card. Stick the sequins on top of the panels using craft glue. Some more sequins can be stuck to the corner of the card.
