Floral Card

1 Trim white card to measure slightly smaller than a square card blank. Using the Continuous Stamping Wheel™ create an overall background. Punch a border in patterned paper using the correct tool and fix to the edge of the card.

2 Place the Everywhere Window Punch™ in the bottom righthand corner and push out a square. Fix a scrap of patterned paper behind and stamp a ‘happy birthday’ sentiment. Place a length of ribbon on scrap paper and stamp using the Continuous Stamping Wheel™ on both sides.

3 Fix to card creating a pleated effect. Ink the edges with brown and stick to the blank with double-sided tape. Using the lever tool, punch out flowers and add as shown. Decorate with self-adhesive pearls.

Butterfly Card

1 Trim patterned paper to 5” square and make a border using the 2-in-1 Corner and Border punch. Stamp butterflies across the centre using the Continuous Stamp Wheel™. Print again onto scrap patterned paper.

2 Place the Everywhere Window Punch™ in the centre of the patterned paper and push out a circle. Fix scrap white paper behind and stamp the ‘happy’ sentiment, as shown. Add to the blank with doublesided tape.

3 Punch a circle from scrap white paper. Stamp with a ‘birthday’ sentiment and secure to the card bottom using 3-D foam pads. Cut five butterflies from patterned paper and add to the card by glueing their middles, creating a dimensional effect. Decorate with a few pearls.
