Here's a step-by-step guide to making an Easter-themed card using Glue dots® Magic Motifs .

These Magic Motifs are a quick and fun way of decorating, where you choose the colors and materials that will cover the self-adhesive designs: "magic" is the word that spontaneously comes to mind when you discover the motif adorned with the chosen color and material! It's an activity that immediately appeals to children, but also allows moms to create beautiful decorations. Window cutting with the Shape Cutter and the template board is child's play. For Easter, we've chosen colors that are a little offbeat: soft colors indeed, but combined with a color card... chocolate!

Necessary materials: 3 sheets of card: brown, straw yellow, pink a sheet of Magic Motifs Pâques (Glue-Dots) 2 sheets of transferable velvet Pastel Flock pink and blue

Tools used: a paper cutter "broken shell" pattern scissors a Fiskars® "Shape cutter" with a rounded square template .

	Step 1 Cut a card with the cutter and use the cutter to mark the fold.
The bottom of the card protrudes by about 1 cm (this will allow you to place a "Happy easter"). Cut a window in the card cover (a rounded square cut with the "Shape cutter").

Step 2

.

Cut this same shape in the straw-yellow sheet
Keep the removed part and go around this shape with the serrated scissors: glue this hollowed-out square to the card window to underline it. Cut this same square from a pink sheet, and a smaller, rounded square from the brown sheet.

How to place Magic Motifs, creating a velvet effect on each one

Cut (roughly) the chosen motif from a sheet of Magic Motifs. Remove the protective film and place the motif in the desired position. Press firmly over the entire surface of the motif. Remove the transparent protective film.

. The motif, whose design is made of glue, is now ready to be decorated. Different materials can be used: glitter, sand Here, we've chosen a transferable "Pastel Flock" sheet, whose velvet matches the softness of the Easter colors and motifs.

. Simply place the Flock sheet on the sticky motif (velvet side against motif) and rub gently with the wooden stick supplied Lift the sheet and it'

magic!

	Step 3 Using this technique, place a blue velvet Egg motif on the yellow mini-card, a different pink velvet Egg motif on the brown mini-card, itself placed on a pink mini-card, and a "Happy easter" text motif on the right-hand edge of the pink velvet card

Step 4

A "Rabbit with egg" motif is glued to the inside of the card so that it can be seen through the cover window. Originality: the rabbit is decorated with blue velvet and the egg with pink velvet! Simply place the Flock sheet precisely over the motif to be decorated.

Step 5 Finishing touches... A small egg is placed on either side of the window. Then, to add relief and a touch of pink, a small satin bow is glued to the center of the card using a Glue Dots adhesive foam square.
