I love your magazine, with all its gifts and

inspiration every month. I just had a play with

issue 205’s Alice in Wonderland cover gift, and

here are two cards I made with the patterned

papers and toppers from the set.

Genny Ginter, Luton

Hayley says: We’re glad you had fun with the

Alice in Wonderland gift Genny, we love the

interesting card shapes you’ve chosen.

I’ve always wanted to create a pop-up box card

but did not know where to begin, so I turned to

YouTube, watched numerous videos and

decided to give it a go. I found a video by Lea

Denton at the Crafty Spark and followed her

clear instructions on how to create one. It was

much easier than I expected. I already had lots

of die-cut flowers and leaves so used those to

put together this creation. I knew I wanted to

use bright, vibrant colours to reflect the friend

I made the card for. This was an exciting and

fun card to make and I am very pleased with

the end result of this, my first attempt.

Ginny Moore, New Zealand

Hayley says: Thanks for sending in a picture

of your pop-up box card Ginny, it’s so

impressive and I’m sure your friend will love it.

The design is beautiful and the colours you’ve

chosen are perfect for new-season blooms.

Bouquet blooms

I was asked to make a birthday card for a friend,

which had to have flowers on it and use lots of

whites and blues. I came across the centre

stepper card tutorial by Sam on Mixed Up

Craft and decided to follow that. I used blue

card for the base card, holographic mirror card

as a layer, and papers from The Paper

Boutique. I used lots of tiny die-cut flowers in

white and blue, green leaves and a ‘Happy

birthday’ sentiment on a stitched die-cut oval.

Sue Vincett, Shoeburyness

Hayley says: The tiny punched flowers look

beautiful on display in this bouquet with its

clever stepper card – well done, Sue!

Every time my granddaughter, Eloise (aged

four) comes round to my house she wants to

make a card in my craft room. She

especially loves stamping and colouring. It is

her Mommy’s birthday tomorrow and she

knew exactly what stamp she was looking for

to make her a card. She is quite independent

and chooses her own papers and colours.

Margrit Forrester, Wolverhampton

Hayley says: It’s great to hear that Eloise

knows what she wants in the craft room,

that’s a sign of a good cardmaker! The

birthday card she’s made is brilliant and

we can’t wait to see what she makes next!
