Card Making Project - Sweet Peas On Trellis
Made by Madeleine

This card uses the Martha Stewart trellis border punch and a die cut decoupage sheet of Sweet Peas .


To make this card you will need:

A4 Stardream Serpentine Card creased to A5
A4 Stardream Crystal Paper
Sweet Peas Decoupage Sheet
Gold Foiled Mixed Sentiments Sheet
Craft Knife or Paper Trimmer
Martha Stewart Trellis Border Punch
3D Foam Pads or Silicon Glue
Photo Glue



Using the short edge of the A4 Stardream Crystal Paper punch a continuous border so that the border is the full 210mm of the paper.  Using a craft knife or paper trimmer cut off the border you have just punched leaving a 3mm strip at the edge of your trellis border.

Punch and cut 2 more trellis borders strips.

Using photo glue and starting at the left hand side of the card attach the first trellis border strip.  Apply the photo glue only to the 3mm left hand edge of the trellis.  When the first strip is in place wait a minute for the photo glue to dry.

Attach the 2nd border strip using photo glue, placing it just under the edge of the first border strip and leave to dry.  Attach the 3rd border strip in the same way, placing it just under the edge of the 2nd border strip.

Using foam pads or silicon glue, push out and make up the 2 sweet peas from the decoupage sheet.
Tip:  if using silicon glue do this step first and leave overnight for the silicon glue to dry.

Using photo glue attach each decoupaged sweet pea to the card.  Apply the photo glue only to the parts of the sweet peas that will be stuck to the Stardream Serpentine card - not to the stems or the small pieces of petals that will overlap the trellis.

Weave the stalks through the trellis, overlap the outer petals slightly over the trellis and then glue the rest of the sweet peas into position.


Finally, cut out the sentiment and attach to the card using 3D foam pads or silicon glue.
