Create a set of four beautiful note cards using patterned paper from a coordinating paper pad, each with matching decorated envelopes. The cards feature soft watercolour florals and wildlife imagery in gentle pinks, purples and greys, with various embellishments including die-cut sentiments, twine, and decorative elements. This project is perfect for batch-making greeting cards using layering techniques and mixed embellishments.

Astuces de l'émission

• If making one card, make three at the same time to maximise efficiency with your materials and tools.
• Use off-cuts from your card designs to decorate the coordinating envelopes for a cohesive look.
• Add 3D foam pads under your embellishments to create dimension, though flat cards work perfectly well too.
