You Make Life Beautiful - 10/06/2025

Choose 2 coordinating papers from the 7 x 7 paper pad, one having a printed border at the bottom. 

Trim the plain paper to 5 3/4" wide and tear along the bottom so it's slightly shorter than your cream card blank (see finished image). 

Trim the printed paper to 4" wide and tear along the bottom so it's slightly shorter than the plain paper. 

Ink around the edges with the Heather ink. 

Adhere the smaller paper onto the bigger one and then onto your card blank, as seen here. 

Cut a square around your chosen lady from the 12 x 12 pad, to the size of the topper required. Use a corner punch and then blend the Heather around the edges. 

Adhere to the centre of your card, leaving the left edge slightly unglued (so you can tuck something underneath). 

Fussy cut a cake or flower, from the 12 x 12 pad and adhere so it's tucked just underneath the topper, as seen here. 

Using the dies as a guide, cut ONE drop from the Sepia washi roll. Lift up the backing sheet along one end of the tape and adhere across the top of an A4 sheet of white card. Slowly peel away the backing, as you use your hand to smooth the washi tape down on to the card. Once the backing has been fully removed, you can burnish the washi to ensure there are no air bubbles or creases.

Line up the second die, secure in place and run through your machine. 

Once all elements are die cut, pop out the sentiments, pick out the one you are using for this project and keep the rest in a tub for future projects.

Adhere your chosen sentiment tab to the bottom right. 

To finish, use the Stickles to add a touch of sparkle to the printed designs on your card.
