Lime Zest Love
1 Create a 10cm square blank from lime card and cut a triangle from lime patterned paper, 9cm across the base and 8.5cm across both sides.
2 Glue onto white card and trim so that it fits neatly across the top of the blank. Die cut the large oval in black and white card and stamp the love motif onto the white inner.
3 Stick the black outer oval over the point of the triangle and add the stamped inner. Add a simple knot of black ribbon above the oval to finish.
Pastel Love Birds
1 Cover a landscape blank with lilac card and add a 7.5cm x 9cm panel of pastel green card to the left of the greeting. Overlap with a 2cm x 13cm strip of pastel pink and a 2cm x 14cm strip of pale aqua card.
2 Die cut the large oval in lilac card and fix the outer oval to the left of the card. Stamp the love motif in black ink above the smallest strip.
3 Stamp the bird duo in black ink, colour in and cut out. Stick to the outer oval, add a gem to the flower on the bird and three to the love motif.
