Flowers & Leaves

By Susan Gahan

This little collection of cards uses the pink leaf and

flower papers from the dizzy range to make cards

with a bit of a late summer or autumnal feel.

MATERIALS REQUIRED:

Creative Papers:

SR026P Skeleton Leaves and SR029P Flowers.

Burgundy Card: CRE07C.

Cream Skeleton Leaves and Pressed Acer Leaves.

Pink Gems: GEM13.

White Glitter Glue: STK021 Frosted Lace.

Micro Glitter in Orange, Yellow, Blue and Green.

Dries Clear Adhesive: ADH19.

Daisy Paper Punch: PPW101.

Mini Fixer pads: ADH18.

Double Sided Tape: ADH13.

Card Mounts:

SF04U-46 and SF08U-46 Hammer Cream.

TO MAKE THE MAIN CARD:

Cut a piece of burgundy card to 9cm x 21cm and

stick to the centre of the card front. Cut a piece of

skeleton leaf paper to 8cm x 21cm making sure the

leaves will be in good positions once the flowers

are in place and stick this over the burgundy panel

already on the card.

Cut two brown flowers from the flower sheet, don’t

worry about the red overlaps on them, they won’t

show once they are glittered. Cover them using blue,

green, yellow and orange micro glitters. These are

applied in random patches over all the petals but

always in that order (see main picture) to get a kind

of rainbow effect.

Use a brush to apply a thin coating of the dries

clear glue where you want the blue to be, sprinkle

the blue over these patches and then shake off

the excess. Add more glue beside/around the blue

and add the green glitter, shake off the excess as

before. Repeat the process for the yellow and then

the orange.

Once the glue is dry, mount these two flowers onto

the card using sticky fixers. Punch a daisy centre for

each from a pink bit of the skeleton leaf paper and

stick to the centre of the flowers. Add a pink gem to

the centre of each daisy to complete.

THANK YOU CARD:

Cut a piece of flower paper to fit the front of the

card, positioning it so a brown flower is a little above

centre on the right hand side.

If you prefer to cover both sides of the card, cut

the paper to twice the width and fold in half. Stick the

paper to the card, folding the paper and card as you

stick for a neat finish, then trim off any excess paper

from the open edges.

Cut out a brown flower choosing one with as little red over-

lapping as possible. Use the stickles glitter glue to make a

line around the edge of each petal and down the centre of

each. Add a line around the centre of the flower and then

cover the pink centre too. Set aside to dry.

Stick the greeting to a piece of skeleton leaf paper and cut

around it before adding a silver flower to each corner. Stick

to a piece of burgundy card and cut to leave a narrow border.

Add this to the card using sticky fixers. Attach the decorated

flower over the background one using sticky fixers and off-

setting the petals.

ACER LEAF CARD:

Tear a piece of skeleton leaf paper to 10cm x 21cm and

stick to the front of the card making sure the leaves fall in

approximately the positions shown. Stick two small pressed

Acer leaves to leaf paper and cut around each to make

square panels. Stick these to burgundy card and cut to leave

a 3mm border. Mount the leaf panels onto the card as show

using sticky fixers.

Cut two leaves from a spare piece of leaf paper. Place a

cream skeleton leaf over each of the lower printed leaves on

the card offsetting them as shown and glue by the stem.

Crease both the cut out leaves along the centre vein and glue

to the card, by the vein only, over the ends of the skeleton

leaves as shown. Add a pink gem to the stems to complete.

COPPER MAPLE LEAF CARD:

This card uses a landscape fold card (SL03U), cover with the

leaf paper positioning 2 leaves nicely on the front panel. Cut 2

skeleton leaves from spare leaf paper and highlight with a Sakura

glitter pen or glitter glue, use silicone to stick these over the leaves

on the card and then add a gem onto the stem of each pair.

Stick 4 outline leaf stickers (XL089U-24) onto spare pink paper,

cut and shape then stick, like tumbling Autumn leaves across the

card, using some solid leaf stickers to complete the effect. Add a

copper border sticker to the top and bottom edges and the Happy

Birthday wording with a gem stuck on the ‘H’ and ‘B’ to complete.
