Craft your own picturesque blooms, bees and butterflies using one stunning collection
The equation for cardmaking success is pretty simple. Skilled designer + gorgeous craft collection = absolute delight. That’s why we sent all our Paige Evans Garden Shoppe goodies to Sarah Jackman Read – and she didn’t disappoint! Sarah’s makes show off a multitude of card shapes, whilst always keeping the bright and breezy aesthetic of Paige’s collection at the forefront. Cards don’t get much better than this.

ROCK & ROLL
1 Die cut a 15cm circle from white card, then score and fold in half to create a rocker blank. Matt the front panel with floral paper. Die cut a 13cm circle from triangle paper, snip in half and glue to the front. Trim a 1.5cm border of pink striped paper, then add washi tape on top. Adhere towards the bottom, trimming the ends to fit.
2 Add stickers down both sides, then secure a flower in the centre of the border using 3D foam pads. Add epoxy stickers either side. Die cut 7.5cm and 9.5cm circles from contrasting papers, then layer up with 3D foam pads. Attach a circular sentiment sticker on top and adhere above the border. Finish with a butterfly sticker on the right-hand side.
LANDSCAPE SLIMLINE
1 Make a 9cm x 17cm top-folding white blank, then round off the corners with a punch. Snip floral paper slightly smaller, round off the corners and fix on top. Cut orange floral paper to 7.5cm x 15.5cm, then round off the corners with a punch and glue to the front. Trim a border of striped paper, 2.5cm x 17cm, and layer washi tape along it. Secure across the middle of the card front.
2 Cut out a square sentiment, then adhere centrally with 3D foam pads. Snip a wreath sticker in half and attach either side. Add a butterfly sticker on the left-hand side. Secure a heart sticker at the top of the sentiment, then add pennant stickers in two corners and epoxy stickers in the other two.
