Homemade Card

Card
Welcome to this week's homemade card project! You can get a lot of variations with this card depending on the paper you use.

Card
You will need a 5 1/2" x 4" notecard.

Card
Cut a 5 1/4" x 3 3/4" rectangle from scrapbook paper or sheet music. Dawn at ~The Feathered Nest~ recently shared a beautiful music image. Glue to front of notecard.

Card
Cut out another 5 1/4 x 3 3/4" of a coordinating scrapbook paper and cut on diagonal line from top left corner to bottom right corner. Glue onto notecard.

Card
You can also tear the edge for a different look.

Butterfly
Cut a small oval or circle from cardstock. Dab the edges with an ink pad if desired. Add a sticker or stamp.

Card
Glue to front of notecard. Send to a friend!

Here is another variation. Thank you for taking a look!

  1. Hi Kelli,

    You are so multi-talented. Is that a word? Anyway, is there anything you can't do? ;-) I like these cards so much better then store bought. I'm sure they are much more appreciated too.

  4. Kelli,

    Both are beautiful! I think I like the second one better. The first one reminds me of the Silence of the Lambs!

    Blessings,

  27. That is beautiful and so creative. It seems so easy, but it really has to start from vision and imagination. Thank you for sharing yours with me and everyone. I have all those of materials sitting around, I just never imagined putting them together as beautifully. I'm just not artsy-crafty so I need guidance :-)You are so talented.
