You will need the following craft card and craft supplies:-

• A4 White Card Plain 250gsm
  
• A4 Rosa Sparkle Print Card 300gsm
• A4 Spring Green Pearlised Card 300gsm
• Embossing folder
• Floral Die
• Button
• Pearls to decorate

1. Take the sheet of A4 White Card Plain 250gsm and cut down to 8 1/4" x 5 3/4"
2. Score this in half at 4 1/8" to form a card blank.
3. Score the front cover of the card blank halfway at 2" and fold it so that it forms a z-fold.
4. Take a piece of A4 Spring Green Pearlised Card 300gsm and cut one panel to 5 1/2" x 1 3/4", and another panel down to 5 1/2" x 3 3/4".
5. Emboss both Spring Green Pearlised Card 300gsm panels with an embossing folder of your choice (I have used a polka dot one for this card)
6. Stick the smaller panel on the front part of the Z-fold
7. Stick the larger panel inside the card blank.
8. Take the remaining piece of White Card Plain 250gsm and cut down to 7 1/2" x 4 1/2"
9. Score this in half at 3 3/4" to form a mini card blank.
10. Cut down a piece of A4 Rosa Sparkle Print Card 300gsm to 4 1/4" x 3 1/2" and stick onto the front of the mini card blank
11. Using the leftover Spring Green Pearlised Card 300gsm, Rosa Sparkle Print Card 300gsm, White Card Plain 250gsm & Cashmere Sirio Colour Card 290gsm, die cut a floral shape and layer it onto the front of the mini card blank using foam pads.
12. Stick the mini card onto the inside of the main Z-fold card blank ensuring that it is central horizontally, and is positioned half an inch up from the central crease.
13. Using some twine, secure the button onto the front of the Z-fold card centrally horizontally, and approx 1 inch up from the bottom so that the mini card front tucks in between the button and the front of the Z-fold and holds the card into place.

I hope you will have a go at making one of these cards - the pearlised card and sparkle print card really makes it pop!
