Gingham Greetings

By Margaret Bullen

Both cards have very similar requirements

so I have listed everything, you can mix most

of them between the designs anyway to make

a slightly different version if desired.

Materials Required:

Coloured gingham paper 15cm x 15cm.

Plain Orange or very lightly patterned

paper 7cm x 7cm.

Tracing paper and a pencil.

Pair of 7mm joggle eyes.

Scraps of Leafy Green card.

3 Embroidered daisy motifs.

Fine tipped felt pens: Red and Green.

Orange felt tipped pen.

Congratulations peel off sticker.

Small piece of sponge.

Stamp pads: Pale Blue and Pale Yellow.

Paper punches: Butterfly

and Teddy.

Double sided tape.

P. V.A. Craft adhesive.

Card mount: SF01U,

Smooth White.

Actual Size

To Make The Card:

I think the gingham paper

gives a rather pleasing effect,

but have also made a pink

bunny card from pink paper

with little white dots over it, a

small floral paper bunny would

also look good, so why not

experiment with different

patterns and shades.

Another idea I intend to try

out is fabric as there are so

many lovely patterns available.

Place the tracing paper

over the diagram of your

choice and trace the out-

lines of the shapes. Turn the

tracing face down and place

over the gingham paper, re-

trace the flower’s outerline

or the bunny shape. For the

flower, retrace the inner line

onto the orange paper.

Cut out the pieces and

glue them onto the card

mount using P.V.A. adhe-

sive. Draw the mouth and

nose onto the flower, glue

the joggle eye(s) in place.

Using the orange felt

tipped pen draw a zig-zag

line all around and crossing

the join where the centre

meets the petals.

Paper punch the butterflies and teddies from

the spare pieces of gingham paper and glue

onto the card. The flower leaves, and the tiny

daisy leaves on the bunny card are cut from

green paper. The daisy leaves are hearts with

the pointed ends under the flowers. For the

large leaves I drew a heart shape and cut it

in half, but any leaf shape will be fine. I cut a

straight strip of paper for the stem, cut a tiny

nick in one edge where I wanted it to bend and

gently curved it over.

Glue the leaves and

stem onto the card.

The edge of the

card is coloured using

a small piece of sponge

and a stamp pad. Dab

the sponge onto the

pad to ink it and then

dab the inked sponge

around the edge of the

card, re-applying the

ink as necessary.

The yellow patches

are added to the bunny

card in the same way

using the yellow stamp

pad, and dabbing in

little patches with the

sponge where required.

Actual Size

Add a peel off stick-

er greeting or write one

of your own, I like to

use the fine ends of Le-

Plume pens for writing

onto cards, they do a

great job.
