You Will Need:

Rush Card

Punch each corner of the card using a corner punch.

Cut the woven backing to 7.5 x 11.5cm. To stick the backing on to the card 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.

Thread the wool through two of the large wooden beads. Tie the wool into a bow so that the beads are on the loops of the bow and the rush is tied in the middle. Cut off the excess wool and stick the rush into place using a 3D foam pad.

Complete with a peel off greeting.

Gift Card

Cut some scrap card at least 20cm long to 1cm wide. Use it as a guide to stick border peel offs around the edges of the card. Cut the corrugated card to 6cm x 10cm. Place some double sided tape along the length of the card and stick some of the ribbon along it. Stick another length of ribbon across the card.

Pull one of the metal rings open and place a plastic bead between the ends. Push the ring closed and stick it to the gift card using a 3D foam pad.

Square Mesh 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 Gift 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 mat 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.
