A project from our live show Create Together Club - 5 Days of Creativity - Broadcast Monday 9TH June 2025 · 09/06/2025 · watch it from 6:15
Create an elegant card featuring a vellum pocket with a decorative corner fold that reveals a layered dimensional feature behind it. The design uses soft pink tones with vintage floral imagery and a 'Crafty Sister' sentiment. This project combines vellum layering techniques with dimensional embellishments to create a sophisticated card with visual depth and interest.
Select a piece of vellum that is approximately the same size as your card base and place it on your craft mat.

Secure the vellum pocket to the card base with small pieces of double-sided tape placed underneath the floral edges, positioning the tape where it will be hidden by the decorative elements.

Apply foam pads to the back of the decorative floral elements inside the vellum pocket to add dimension. Use small pieces of tape temporarily to hold the elements in place whilst positioning.
