Hello Friend!

by Clare

Good Morning Fiskarettes!

Here I am again with another inspiration offering for your delectation. Thanks for all your well wishes about my hand too, it’s getting stronger every day, but I know when I’ve over done it!

So today’s card uses some lovely spring/summery papers, fantabulous Fiskars punches and stamps. Let me take you through it.

Fiskars Goodies

Fiskars Everywhere Window Punch Square

Fiskars Border Punch Bracket

Fiskars Corner Edges Rounder Scissors

Fiskars Clear Stamp Borders

Fiskars Acrylic blocks

Other Goodies

Black ink

Patterned paper (Lillybee Papers)

Black fine line pen

White Square Card blank

Instructions

1. Draw a very faint cross with a pencil right in the centre of the card. Use this as a guide to punch out the two squares (one top right and one bottom left of the cross). Use the guides on the punch to help you position correctly.

2. Trim 6 squares to measure 3.5cm square and round the opposite corners as shown using the scissors. Fix down as shown onto the card.

3. Cover the inside of the card with patterned paper, so that it shows through the windows. Use the bracket border to punch the edge of the card. edge the card form the back with pink patterned paper. Strengthen with cardstock if required.

4. Stamp the Swirl border and greeting in black ink. outline the squares with black fine line pen to finish.

And that’s it! Simple but effective. Hope you like it!

love and crafty hugs, Clare x

    Great card. Like the idea if rounding opposite corners of the squares – simple idea, but very effective. I love the border punch too!
