When life gives you lemons card – By Katharine Burchell

.

I’d like to welcome Katharine to the blog today. Katharine is guest designing for us this month and this is the first of her 2 projects.

.

A quick and simple card to give to a friend.

Using the ‘When Life Gives You Lemons’ Kit here.

.

You’ll need 

 

  • Hand painted lemon paper
  • Pattern small lemon paper
  • Mama makes washi
  • Yellow ribbon 
  • Black 4”x6” card 
  • Mrs Brimbles stickers
  • Piece of white card
  • Green tissue paper

To make

  1. Cut the small pattern lemon paper to 10cm x 14cm. This will be the background paper for the card
  2. Fussy cut the lemons out of the hand drawn lemon paper, along with some leaves.
  3. Roughly in the centre of the background paper put two strips of washi side by side across the paper
  4. Stick the yellow ribbon on top to hide the join. Stick the background piece to the blank card.
  5. Sticker the sticker that says “when life gives you lemons” on to a piece of card 5cm x 1.8cm. Then stick another sticker that says “crack open the gin” underneath.
  6. Back it with green tissue paper from the box and stick to the centre of the card over the ribbon.
  7. Using two of the larger lemons and smaller one, layer them on top on each using a foam pad. Add leaves, then stick to the top right/ middle of the card.
  8. Stick two of the smaller lemons at the bottom layered on top of each other, with a foam pad underneath the top one. Add some leaves.
