 How to make: 

• Cut a piece of burgundy card small than the front of an A5 white card and attach to the card.

• With 3D foam pads attach the trellis down the top right hand corner, and the two corners over lapping up from the bottom left hand corner, attach the two flowers to the top left hand corner with 3D glue, add glossy accents to the centre of all the flowers that can be seen.       

Project Club: Cream and Brown Easel Card

For this card I tried to stick to my favourite colours of browns and beige's.

How to make: 

• Make a small square cream easel card with a extra front.
• Onto the inside base of the easel card and one of the fronts, stamp the floral corner onto each corner using Memento Desert Sand, colour in the large flower and the centres of the small flowers in each corner on the square piece of card in a light tan promarkers, distress the two stamped pieces in Antique Linen.
• On the other square piece of cream card, blue tac a 3mm square of paper to the centre, stamp the floral corner just above each side of the square in memento Rich Cocoa, colour in the flowers and leaves in shades of cream and brown promarkers.
• Trim off the corner and sides just above the swirl, distress in Tea Dye and edge in Rich Cocoa.
• Onto a 4cm x 7.5cm piece of cream card stamp Happy Birthday in Rich Cocoa, colour in the flowers, distress in Antique Linen and edge in Rich Cocoa.
• Onto a 5cm x 8.5cm piece of cream card stamp the floral corner twice in Rich Cocoa, distress in Tea Dye, centrally attach the Happy Birthday to this and attach to the inside base of the card.
• Stamp three large flowers onto cream card in Rich Cocoa, cut out and shape the three flowers, punch or die cut four brown fern leaves.
• Centrally attach the trimmed piece of card to the square piece of card so the gaps between the floral corners line up with the corners, attach this with strong double sided tape or glue to the bottom half of the easel flap.
• Add the fern to the centre square down the gaps in the with the three flowers in the centre, add ice gold stickles to the flower centres.

Project Club: Pink Happy Birthday

 This card is so simple to make it could be whipped up at the last minute! Imagine it in blues or purples......

How to make:

• Stamp the trellis, Happy Birthday and an extra set of the long four flowers from the trellis onto white card in Cranberry, colour in the large flowers and the small flowers that are touching them. 
• Cut out the Happy Birthday mount like the trellis onto burgundy card.
• Attach the mounted trellis down the left of the card with the Happy Birthday towards the bottom on the right.
• Cut out the four sets of large flowers in groups where they touch, (it makes it a lot quicker when gluing in place) using 3D glue attach the three sets with small flowers to the trellis and the other long set down the top right hand corner, add glossy accents to the centres of the cut flowers and Happy Birthday.
