Homemade Card
Welcome to this week's card making project! I spotted these butterfly stickers at Michaels last week, but you can use any kind of paper, stickers, or stamps.
You will need a 5 x7" notecard.
Cut a 2" cardstock square with decorative stickers. Cut a slightly smaller square from scrapbook paper.
Glue scrapbook paper onto cardstock.
Cut three 5 1/2 x 1/2" strips from scrapbook paper.
Glue squares onto strips, about 1/2" from top.
Glue top of strip and square onto front of card.
Trim bottom of strip as shown. Glue in place.
Repeat with remaining strips.
Tie three small ribbon bows and hot glue onto each strip. Send to a friend!
Hi Kelli,

Love the butterfly card. Great idea with the 3 box effect. And wow, you do have a lot of entries for your give-a-way! I think I entered...but too many to check through...Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteThat card is SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteLike I said, it's par for the course. I'm kind of used to it by now. *shrugs*
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! I know just where to come if I need to figure out how to make homemade cards. Actually, I'd like to start doing that. It's just hard to find the time. :-/
Kelli,
ReplyDeleteSuch cute notecards! I think you need to get your own television show. Your ideas are much better than Martha's, in my opinion! :)

ReplyDeleteI am kidding!
very pretty! I like to make my own cards if possible, I have more fun making cards with my scrapbook supplies than scrapbooking!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for some more creative and cute ideas. I actually made four cards today. Will post pics on my blog. It's such a great way to save money these days, and doesn't take long at all to put them together.
