The Hobby House - Cupcake Girls

Here is another of Colette's great ideas for a card with a twist!!  You need to look at the second picture to see it more clearly, where you can see that the centre circle is actually hanging in the aperture.  Also, the lacy edging has been made using the Tonic Studios Simplicity Geared Dotty Border Punch.  Great ideas that we can all have a go at!!

Products used - Kraft Cardstock, Pearlescent Paper, The Hobby House Die Cut Toppers - Cupcake Girls, Wild Rose Studio Gorgeous Gingham Paper Pack, Wild Rose Studio Annabelle's Meadow Paper Pack, Tonic Simplicity Geared Dotty Border Punch, Papermania Capsule Collection Mini Buttons - Parkstone Pink and White Satin Ribbon.

To create the paper lace punch out as many strips of paper as needed to go around the shape.  Score between each scallop, apply wet glue or narrow tape around the shape and then stick paper lace into place, gently manipulating the paper around the curves, and using the scored lines to help.

Happy Crafting!
