Try out four techniques with Nancy Watt’s stunning floral papers

Helping HAND

Just adding gems to a card gives it a lift and can really make it special. If you don’t have A3 card, just use two pieces of A4 for If I Had a Flower. To create the large stepper, fold the first A4 in half and trim to 19cm x 14cm creating a tent card. To create the small stepper, cut a 19cm square. From the bottom of the square, mountain fold at 7cm and valley fold at 14cm. Stick the remaining 5cm underneath the card. For Flowers are Like Friends, if you don’t have oval dies, you can try making the card using squares instead.

The finishing touch “On card 3, I only had one piece of card that was the perfect colour, so I

‘gutted’ it by cutting a 12cm square die and cut the square out on my matt.” NANCY WATT
