This bright and cheerful card is perfect to brighten up any Spring occasion! We have used the word ‘Spring’ on our card here but you can replace the wording with anything to make this the ideal card for your occasion. It would be fantastic as a Mother’s Day card, a birthday card or a bright springtime Easter card!
What you will need to make this card:
- A6 card blank
- Mixed pink, lilac, purple & pink flowery papers
- 7mm organza pink ribbon
- Super Daisy Punch
- Super Flower Punch
- Large Daisy Punch
- Large Flower Punch
- Regular Daisy Punch
- Regular Flower Punch
- Mini round brads
- Alphabet peel off sheet
- Sticky Foam Pads and Double sided sticky tape
- Ruler, Craft Knife, Scissors, Craft Cutting Mat
How to make:
Take the A6 card blank and cover the top half with plain pink paper and the bottom half with flower patterned paper.
Next use double sided sticky tape to stick a strip of the 7mm organza pink ribbon along the join where the two papers meet, trim off any excess ribbon.
Punch out some flowers and daisies out of lilac, purple & bright pink paper. Tip: Use contrasting colours to the papers used to cover the top and bottom of the card.
Make a tiny hole in the centre of each flower. At this stage you can fold the punched flowers and daisies down the centre of each petal and then open up for a more raised 3D effect like the flowers shown in the picture, alternatively you can leave the flowers flat.
Layer the flowers and daisies together using different contrasting colours on each layer, experiment until you get the best effect flowers that you are happy with. Make 2 larger and 1 smaller flower. Once you are happy with a layered flower, push a round brad through the centre of the flower and bend back the prongs to secure the flower layers together.
Mount the flowers onto the card blank using sticky foam pads in a similar pattern to shown in the picture.
Finish your card off by sticking either individual peel off letters or a peel off wording sticker to spell out whatever occasion you want on the top left hand of the card at an angle. Choose whatever wording is suitable for your occasion.
