• Blank card & envelopes

This is a really quick and simple card to make, and can be made using any of the collections, as well as off-cuts you may have left over from other projects.

Project 3:

This beautiful ‘leafy’ card can be used in Spring or Autumn and is made using products from the Into the Woods collection.

On a piece of 5″ x 5″ white card, place a 4″ circle of card and draw around it. This will be your template for the wreath.

Using the pencil line as a template, stamp the leaves in a circular shape using different coloured green inks.

 

Once you have completed the wreath, let the ink dry and then erase the pencil line. Take the ‘leaf vein’ stamp, and use either a brown or darker green ink to stamp this onto some of the leaves.

Use the heart stamps from the set, and stamp these around the edge of your wreath with brown ink.

Stamp the ‘smile’ stamp onto separate card, and attach this to the wreath. Attach the ‘love’ tag and some ribbon from the embellishments set onto the white card.

Add a base layer of patterned card from the 6″ x 6″ paper pack to a 6″ x 6″ card blank, and then attach the stamped piece of card at an angle using 3D foam squares.
