Extrait

Joanna Sheen’s passion for crafts has been a life-long affair. She started Joanna Sheen Ltd in 1979 and has been immersed in various crafts ever since. She has written over thirty books on various craft-related topics.
Joanna’s first passion was for flowers: she trained with the world-renowned Constance Spry Flower School in London. Having successfully run an international pressed flower business for twenty years, Joanna turned her focus to card making and has gradually progressed into producing very popular vintage feel designs and products.
Today Joanna appears regularly on television on both Ideal World and the Create and Craft channels with new ideas, demonstrations and best-selling products. She has a very enthusiastic following who all share her love of timeless design, traditional skills and sentimental treasures.

Introduction
The use of matting and layering in card making can change a card out of all recognition and for the extra expense of some pieces of paper or card, you can change a basic card into a treasure that someone will keep forever.
I always make sure I have a good stock of plain card in the variety of colours I know I enjoy using and add in some mirror card, some glittery cardstock and something with a nice pearly sheen – and I have my ‘craft arsenal‘ ready and waiting.
If I choose to use a crafting CD then more often than not the right backing paper is waiting right there for me and I can mix and match to my heart’s content.
Double-sided tape is often my choice of adhesive but if you struggle with getting your layers straight, try a clear photo glue that allows the paper or card to be repositioned. Whether you use a paper guillotine or trimmer, scissors or a craft knife, simple cutting and layering can be the rock you build your card on to that makes sure it will be a real star!





Damask Rose



Materials:
A4 sheet of pearly baby pink card
A5 sheet of linen finish silver card
Extra piece of baby pink pearl card
A4 sheet of rose backing paper and Damask Rose topper from Cardmaker’s Year CD
Tools:
Bone folder
Double-sided tape
Guillotine
2mm ( 1 ⁄ 8 in) foam tape
Tweezers

Instructions:
1 Fold the A4 sheet of pink card in half and crease heavily with a bone folder. Alternatively use a scoring board to fold the card.
2 Cut the silver card down to a smaller size that will leave about a 6mm (¼in) border of pink card showing and attach to the pink card with double-sided tape or glue.
3 Cut out the Damask Rose topper and then cut a spare piece of baby pink card slightly larger than the topper.
4 Cut the A4 sheet of rose backing paper down in size so that you again have a 6mm (¼in) or so border of silver around it and fix it on to the card.
5 Finally stick the topper on to the piece of baby pink card and then fix that to the main card using foam tape to give the card extra dimension.
