Send someone special warming rays of sunshine with a card from this fantastic project. The pretty flowers and gorgeous colours have perfectly captured the essence of the season and will definitely brighten the recipient's day. Each greeting has been ingeniously made to create a really breathtaking finish.
with love
1 Trim a purple blank to 11.5cm square and cut a circular window, 8cm in diameter, from the front, fixing lilac card inside. Thread a tag with ribbon, secure one end to the back and the other at the top of the window. Tie a bow in more ribbon and glue down as shown.
2 Cut out the small flower template from the sheet in the kit. Use to make a bloom from patterned paper. Snip a slit to the centre then overlap two of the petals and glue in place to make a 3-D flower. Create four more flowers then stick around the aperture.
3 Trim short strips of green corrugated card and glue between the motifs. Add fabric flowers and embellish with gems to finish.
just for you
1 Trim a blank to 10.5cm square, cut a 5.5cm diameter circle from the front and cover the inside back with patterned paper. Add more paper to scrap card, place the large flower template on top, draw around the shape then cut out, leaving a 2cm wide border at the left-hand side. Fold the border over and tape to the back of the blank.
2 Fix a greeting across the middle of the flower. Use a punch to make dots from card, cut each in half and glue around the centre of the flower. Cut strips of card and attach to the left-hand side of the bloom so they extend beyond the fold of the blank. Glue paper hearts to the ends of the card strips. Finally, decorate the flower with embellishments and gems.
bird card
1 Trim a blank to 6.5cm x 17cm and cover with patterned paper. Fix a bird and flower border on scrap card and stick down the centre with foam pads. Add a matching border to more card then trim out three bird and flower motifs and adhere to the greeting using 3-D foam. Finally, decorate with dragonfly embellishments, sequins and a bow.
flower congratulations
1 Trim a blank to 11.5cm x 13cm, place the large flower template at the top, draw around and trim to create a floral edge. Cut a 5.5cm diameter circle centrally from the front. Fix a glitter border along the bottom of the blank. Thread a tag with a strip of card and secure along the bottom of the greeting with foam pads.
2 Fix a flowerpot stip on scrap card and cut out three motifs. Use foam pads to attach the designs along the top of the tag. Create a 7.5cm diameter circle from contrasting card and glue inside the blank. Attach a butterfly embellishment at the top of the window on the front and stick gems and punched card dots round the circumference, alternating the two. Fix some to the centre of the flowers too.
lilac hearts
1 Fix glittered paper to scrap card. Use the medium-sized heart template from the sheet to create a motif from this. Make a slightly larger one from green. Trim a lilac blank to 11cm square then fix the larger shape in the centre with foam pads. Attach the smaller heart then add a glittered die-cut on top in the same way. Trim the right-hand corner on the front of the blank into a curve.
2 Glue gems around the mediumsized heart and sequins on the outside of the large one. Loop ribbon and fix at the left, as shown. Trim a greeting and glue it across the ribbon. Cut a dragonfly from the glittered paper and adhere on top. Fix butterfly and flower embellishments round the top and bottom of the blank.
