Sweet Treats Three Square Quick CardCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

A sweet female card designed by Michelle Johnson, most suitable card for all age groups and for any occasion. A very easy step by step process, and very easy to follow. As I made 2 cards, for the first one, I used 280gsm gloss card to print the sheet provided. I cut out all the elements. and mounted each of them, including the topper, onto the same weight scrap card. I used padded double sided squares to mount each of the elements in turn. I used 2 backing sheets, a deep, moss green, and a bright hot pink which I matted onto a card the exact same shade as the topper main colour.

For the second card I printed off the sheet, as above, and cut out all of the elements..

I kept the topper, as the backing for the step by step, I then followed. First I took the square elements, and cut them out as 5 pieces. As this left 2 of them with the corners missing, I mounted all of these 5 squares onto a white backing sheet to make each one a full square. I used a silver edged, aqua ribbon 0.5 cm wide to attach to the front of the card, over the area where the main middle left hand side square is situated. I left the tails loose, to wrap over, and around to the back of the backing sheets, once I had completed attaching the backing sheets. I made 2 backing sheets the moss green card is 13 x 9 cm and edged in the same shade of green ink pen. The pink backing sheet is, 13.5 x 9.5cm. These are both attached to one another and to the main topper with the ribbon hanging loose using double sided tape. After I wrapped and attached the ribbon to the back of the pink backing sheet, I used the same tape to matt them to the main card, which was made from a silver, green, textured card 20 x 14.25cm. I then used padded tiny squares, to mount the top and bottom squares, and the three paper bows. I used double sided padded tape to attach the 2 central left squares together and in turn onto the card.

A most serviceable, and useful card, to have on hand, to use as a gift card with no sentiment, or to attach by the bow I have added, or to use a peel off sentiment coloured with an alcohol pen to match the shades of aqua, and silver in the body of the design, to indicate the sentiment you want to convey. Thank you for this lovely design
