COSMOS PATCHWORK PARTY CARD 1

A card using designs from the new Cosmos Patchwork Party Digikit

You will need a graphics programme such as Serif CraftArtist or My Craft Studio

This card uses backing papers from the Cosmos Canvas Digikit and one of the Fan Segment designs

 from the Cosmos Patchwork Party Digikit.



1. Choose two of the paper designs from the Cosmos Canvas Digikit and print on to high quality computer paper.

2. Import the Fan Segment from Cosmos Patchwork Party into the graphics programme and re-size so the height is approximately 3 ins.

3. You can make the fan in two ways: a. copy and paste the segment 5 times and print on to card or b; copy and paste the segment, rotate until it will fit along the edge of the first segment. Repeat with another segment, group the two angled segments, copy and reverse the image and move until the fan is complete. Print the

completed fan to card.

4. Trim a piece of white card so that the fan (when complete) will fit comfortably in the centre.

5. If using the separate fan segments make up as follows: Glue one segment to the centre of the card. Use

silicone rubber to fix the next segment next to it, angling it so that the outer edge is raised from the card. Fix the next segment so that it angles back down to the card again. repeat for the other side of the fan and leave to dry.

If using the printed fan: Score and fold so that folds A and C are mountain and B and D are valley folds.

6. Trim the papers and edge with a border punch (a Martha Stewart punch used here) and layer as illiustrated above, with the card plus fan in the centre and glue to a greetings card.

7. Glue a pearl where the segments meet (or print and glue one of the Fan Handle designs) and punch 4 dragonflies from offcuts of the papers in the four corners.

COSMOS CANVAS CARD

Another card made using the new Cosmos Canvas Digikit (available in the post below)

This card uses 2 of the backing papers, a mat and one of the flowers.

The central topper was created in Serif CraftArtist. The paper was imported and resized to about 3.5 inches, and given a black border. The mat was then imported and resized to fit just inside the paper. The flower then placed inside the mat. This was printed on to card along with a copy of the same sized flower.

The other paper was printed on to high quality computer paper, cut to size and the edge punched with a Martha Stewart punch, and glued to black card.

The topper was layered on to the paper and a pink pearl glued in each scallop.

Three of the petals were cut from the spare flower and fixed to the topped flower with silicone rubber at an angle.
