Fancy Pants

I have been sorting out some Fancy Pants 'Daydreams' papers and was reminded of these summer cards and tags I made last summer. I used the daydream papers, die cuts, ribbons and rubons. I also used large and medium retro flower punch by EK Success from Paper Maze, Self Adhesive gem stones 3D foam pads. Ink pads in blue, pink and lavender from Cardinal Colours.

Dreams and Wishes


This card measures 10 x 15 cm. Take double-sided patterned paper ‘Dream’, cut to measure 20 x 15cm. Score and fold in half, with Orange side on the outside.
Take some ‘UDream' paper and cut a piece 9.5 x 14.5cm, ink the edges with pink ink and add a length of zig-zag design ribbon about 2cm up from the bottom on the floral side, overlap edges and stick down. Stick this ribbon decorated piece to the main card, ink the edges of the card. It is now ready to decorate.
Select the white rub-on swirl with hearts, which says “Dreams are wishes from your heart” rub this onto the top left of the card.
Press the orange blossom from the die cut sheet, ink the edges, then curve the petals with the scissor blade. Stick to card just above the ribbon to the right of the card. Punch another blossom from the ‘Dream’ paper and the large punch, ink and attach over the orange blossom with a 3D foam pad.
Cut a circle from the ‘Imagine’ paper and attach this to the centre of the flower with another foam pad. Decorate the petals with self adhesive gem stones
