You Make Life Beautiful - 09/21/2026

You will need a 6 x 8" white card blank, 5 1/4 x 7 1/4" piece of kraft card and a sheet of this decorative Floral Flutter paper cut to 5 x 7". 

Trim the decorative paper into "slanted" panels and then adhere each one on to the kraft card (matching the printed design up), so there is a small piece of kraft card visible in between each panel. You may need to slightly trim the outer edge off the last panel you adhere, to ensure it fits. 

Tear a panel of vellum and adhere across the centre of the paper. Tuck over the vellum edges and adhere on the reverse with double-sided tape or a tape runner. 

Wrap twine around the panel and also adhere on the reverse. 

Adhere to your card blank.  

Fussy cut a couple of dragonflies/butterflies from the paper pack and adhere onto your card. 

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 onto your card, to complete your project.
