Procedure

Step 1

First sew six flowers in two sizes. String an orange R and 2.5 cm of CR. Thread the needle and the line through the orange rocaille one more time and repeat the entire procedure another 5x. At the end, thread the line through the orange R and tie both ends together, sew over them and cut them off. String 3 cm of CR for the larger flower.

Step 2

Prepare the coloured card in two colours (yellow and green).
Divide the yellow card with dimensions of 30.4 x 13.5 cm into 6 fields of 2 x 6.5 cm, 2 x 5 cm and 2 x 3.7 cm.
Fold the paper into an “accordion” according to the dimensions using a ruler. Sew the flowers onto the two upper sections and you can write the card’s text in the front lower section.

Step 3

Create a 17 x 11 cm envelope for the card from the green card.
Prepare one piece of green card with dimensions of 17 x 11 cm and a second with dimensions of 18 x 6 cm.
Fold over 0.5 cm at the edge of the piece of card with dimensions of 18 x 6 cm and apply glue to the folded 0.5 cm section of the card and adhere the piece of card with dimensions of 17 x 11 cm to it. This will create the envelope for the card.
