Parachuting Pig Scrap Paper Card

Shape the top of your card blank using a circle die, cutting only partway along the edge to create a rounded top.

Trim a piece of ombre scrap paper (darker to lighter) to the width of your card and adhere it with the darker area at the top using tape runner.

Trim the edges of the ombre paper and round off the top to create a sky effect.

Die-cut a grass layer from scrap paper using a grass die and set aside.

Stamp three pig images in different poses using black ink (Reglisse) onto scrap paper using a small stamping block.

Die-cut all the stamped pig images and the grass pieces together in one pass through the die-cutting machine.

Adhere the grass layer to the card using tape runner, positioning it across the lower portion.

Attach the pig images using foam pads, positioning one standing on the grass and one creeping behind it.

Create the parachute canopy by die-cutting circles from two pieces of matching scrap card using a small circular die.

Cut lines from the centre point to the edge of the circles (keeping the pieces together) to create a parachute pattern.

Reassemble the parachute pieces like a jigsaw, using a backing strip of scrap card to hold them together.

Cut four lengths of sparkly card and attach them to the centre of the parachute using double-sided sticky tape to create suspension strings.

Tie the four strings together with a knot and trim the excess.

Secure the parachute to the card using foam tape, positioning it above the pig.

Attach the smallest pig upside down to the knot of the parachute strings using foam pads.

Add sentiment washi tape strips (such as 'So Proud of You' and 'Let's Celebrate') to the card using foam pads.
