For a subtle take on geometric patterns, Papermania is releasing the Capsule Geometric collection in a black, grey, silver and gold colourway.

Create the cover project Aisha Green demonstrates how multiple techniques for crafting with patterned papers can make a striking card that shows off a variety of prints and textures The new Papermania Capsule Geometric Neon collection contains a great selection of colourful, foiled, patterned papers and vellum sheets that are both gorgeous and versatile. Combine concertinas, layering and die-cut elements to make a cheerful, three-dimensional card – perfect for a birthday or special occasion!

Must-haves

Papermania Capsule Geometric Neon Ultimate Die-cut & Paper Pack RRP £12.95

8 x 8" Cards/Envelopes Recycled Kraft RRP £2.99 Alphabet Thicker Stickers RRP £2.50

To make a rosette, take a piece of patterned geometric cardstock and cut a piece to roughly 9 x 3". Using a ruler, score every half inch along the long side.

Concertina, folding back and forth alternately, then fold in half along the long side. Tie a piece of twine around the centre and secure firmly in place with a double knot.

Open up and apply double-sided tape to both sides of the concertina accordion. To create the circular rosette shape, secure the opposing sides together to make a circle.

Secure a palm-punched circle, or a die-cut sentiment from the Ultimate Pack, over the centre point of the rosette to hide the twine where you tied it together.

Follow the same process above with different patterned papers to make two more rosettes, cutting the cardstock to 7 x 2". Apply number stickers to palm-punched elements.

Cover a card blank with vellum, leaving an 0.5cm border. Cut strips from patterned, kraft and coloured cardstock, and arrange in the top-left corner. Secure in place along with rosettes.
