Easter gift card

 

I found a tutorial for this fab Easter gift card on the Trimcraft website and you can find full instructions here: 

Trimcraft card shape of the month sweet treat gift box card

 

My card is slightly taller than theirs so I used a piece of card 15cm x 27.5 cm and I chose to make my card using Hunkydory Crafts Easter Wishes card and topper set. 

 

Two things are essential for a project like this: a good scoring tool (I use a Hougie Board) and a good strong card, so I used Adorable Scorable card to make the card base and drawers. You also need strong adhesive so I used both red Ultra Strong tape and Cosmic Shimmer glue.

 

I decorated the inside of the card with the printed cardstock and used the foiled card for the front of the card and to decorate the drawers. I then used the large Easter Wishes topper on the front, with one decoupage layer.

 

As you can see, it's big enough for my favourite Easter goodies but would be excellent for mini versions too (you may need to make an acetate lid for those though) x

Smudge and Mitten Z-fold Thank You Card

I fell in love with Hunkydory Craft's ultra cute Smudge and Mitten collection as soon as I saw it (and my children love it too). As well as the card kit, I bought the Luxury Paper Pad and that's what I used to make this very sweet thank you card.

The base card here is Hunkydory Adorable Scorable cardstock, which I have folded into a Z-fold card. I love this fold, as it makes full use of pretty papers and makes a great statement card. To make the base, I cut a 14cm x 28cm piece of card then scored across the long edge at 7cm and 14cm. 

I layered papers from the pad onto the front and back panels of the card. At this point you could secure a ribbon around the front and back of the card to create a tied z-fold card, but I chose not to for this card. I cut a rectangle of card then layered this with paper and a cute image cut from the pad.

To finish the card, I cut a tag sentiment from the pad and added this to the front panel with a tiny bow. I then cut bunting from scraps of paper, secured this to the front and back panels and finished with a few gems.
