So my first post for 2016 is the recent Verity Rose Collection from Crafters Companion.
This card is a bow fronted aperture card. I used one of the 6x6 cards from the pad but you could make it from any 6x6 card.
I have done a step by step tutorial for you to follow so I hope you give it a try.
I have also included a gallery of my other makes.
It's nice to be back sharing the hobby I love.

Step 1
Cut the doily die from the centre of the front of the card.
Attach the die to the inside as this will become the right
side of your corner trims.
Step 2
Cut the doily again from Centura Pearl card.
Also cut a frame for the inside of the aperture with scalloped and plain circle dies using the
Centura pearl card.
( The scallop circle needs to be smaller than the doily and
the plain one larger.)
Step 3
Step 4
Score 1cm from the edge of the back of the card Fold forwards.
Score 1cm from the LH side of the white card back. Fold
forwards.
Step 4
Stick the aperture frame you cut from Centura pearl to the
back of the aperture. Match the scallops
if possible.
Step 5
Quarter the 2 doilys.
Trim 5mm from each
side if the white sections.
Stick them together.
Step 6
Stick the white card
back in place.
Stick the front of the card to the flap you created to form
the bowed front.
Attach the corners.
Step 7
Fold the insert sheet in half. Trim to size.
Insert the folded edge about an inch into an embossing
folder and pass through your machine.
Add the greeting with stamps or a printed verse.
Stick into the back section of the card.
