How Helen created her Cards
Pink Trio Square Card
1. Two different Paper Designs were layered onto a pink 125mm Card Blank, trimmed with white 6mm grosgrain ribbon and edged with silver-coloured peel off strips.

2. The Image was secured to funky foam edged with Color Box Ink Pad, and the Trees were couloured with gel pens, glitter glue and Liquid Pearls in 'Silver'.

3. She created a circle Tag with a Sissiz die and stamped a snowflake image onto it. It was embossed in silver, highlighted with glitter glue and Liquid pearls and trimmed with 15mm white organza Ribbon before securing it to the Card.

Pink Chubby Tree Christmas Tag Card

1. Helen used a Tag Template she had designed herself to cut out the pink Tag Shape and mounted it onto the front of a folded piece of card.

2. She cut out and layered smaller tag shapes onto it and drew stitches with a white gel pen between each Tag.

3. She cut out three Tree Images, mounted them onto funky foam which had been inked at the edges with Color Box pink Ink pad, and coloured them with gel pens, glitter glue and Liquid Pearls in 'Silver'

4. A sentiment ribbon was mounted onto pink vellum and secured to the Card and the tags were trimmed with 155mm pink organza ribbon.
