Welcome to this week's homemade card project!
It is a simple design, but you can get lots of different looks by changing the paper.
You will need a 4" x 5 1/2" blank notecard.
Glue a 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" piece of scrapbook paper to front of card.
Cut out a 2 1/2" square from coordinating scrapbook paper. Cut out the center, leaving a 1/4" border.
Glue to front of card.
Tie a ribbon bow along left side of card.
Add stickers, if desired.
Send to a friend!
~More Homemade Cards~
New Weekly Feature: Post any kind of paper craft (card, bookmark, tag, banner, journal, etc.) on your blog between now and next week and come sign Mr. Linky. Next Thursday, I will draw one of the names and the winner will receive supplies for a homemade card: blank notecard, envelope, and an assortment of scrapbook paper, stickers (or stamped images), and ribbon.
I hope you will join in the fun and thank you for looking at this week's project!
Links are now closed. Please join us next week!
This is just the sort of thing I need to jump start my creativity and get me going on holiday cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHello! I've seen your URL @ Sonia's and thought to come and say hello. Adorable cards, wow! :) Have a nice day! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI love getting card ideas from your blog! Not much time for me to make many but I get a moment or two occasionally. My Grandfather is in my care a lot and he's been under the weather a bit here lately. Soon to move in with us I think. We're also expecting our first grandbaby next May! www.onthebranch.wordpress.com is my daughters blog with baby news. We found out this past Sunday. YIPPEE!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good card making!
Donna
Love the cards especially the one with the roses! I'll have to see what I an come up with regarding the crafty linky :-)

This is a new world for me. In the past, teaching used up all my craftiness. Now that I'm retired, maybe I'll give homemade cards a go. You have inspired me! Thank you and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful. I am not very good with paper crafts; but you do a great job.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Your cards are always so beautiful! I really need to have more confidence in myself and actually try to make them, not just sit and stare longingly at yours! I am new to homemaking - I was not raised by my mother to view it as an art, but rather something you paid someone else (nanny, housekeeper, chef) to do while you worked 12 hour days to climb the corporate ladder.
ReplyDeleteSlowly but surely, I am learning my way. :) Thank you for being such an inspiration!
You are such an inspiration for all of us. Thanks for posting yet another gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I love it!

This is a great idea Kelli. I will come back to post a link once I prepare my post. You know how much I envy...umm I mean adore your cardmaking abilities;0)
ReplyDeleteThe cards that you made are so beautiful. I actullay made a little gift card for two crochet dish clothes that I made for a friend. You were my main inspiration. I almost gave up a purchased some gift cards, but I stuck with it and I was pleased. I didn't take any pictures thouhg. O.K. I've already took up way to much space. I'll be back later to add my link. Have a great day Kelli.
What a lovely card, how talented you are.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the instructions!
Oooh, Kelli - once again, this design is beautiful! You've given me so many great ideas.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is a scarp-booker, and makes homemade cards. While she was visiting, we sat down and I showed her your blog - and all the darling cards you create. She's trying to convince me to try my hand at it.
Thank you again for sharing your creativity with us!
Hi Kelly! Wish I had a blog so I could participate in the fun. I will have fun looking at the beautiful, creative things that other talented people make.
ReplyDeleteI made some of your fall cards to send out. What I like most about your cards is that you don't use a lot of expensive things like stamps, ink, etc. So making the cards you design is affordable for me. Thanks, Debbi

ps all your Fall decorations are wonderful, I bought those dollar store candles... the pecan, aren't they smelling delicious! the mini glass pumpkins are next!
Your cards are always amazing! I will have to get busy this week. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Kelli, this is a very simple design. But with the choice of perfect materials, you have made such exquisite cards.
ReplyDeleteI am going to be having an art challenge beginning around Oct. 1. I hope you participate (there are prizes!).
What cute cards and I love your linky idea. Thanks for offering. Maybe it will encourage me to get some made. I have been wanting to!
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat idea for a meme, Kelli! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli! Love those cards. Just wondering, do you have an ETSY site or storefront that you sell from? Thanks for visiting:)
ReplyDeleteFall puts me in such a wonderful mood. Thanks for inspiring me w/ cardmaking...I love to write but have neglected keeping in touch in this way w/ friends. Btw, how do you collect the right sized envelopes?
ReplyDeleteOooooh, Kelli! I love this feature! You have used some gorgeous papers in yours and I'm just wild about them. You will inspire me to make "greeting" cards, yet!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Nancy
I love creating cards and tags and scrapbook pages, and have enjoyed your card tutorials. It's great to have some inspiration when I get stuck and need a little help!
ReplyDeleteAngela, Michaels sells packages of 4 1/2"x 5" and 5"x7" envelopes, so I usually make cards this size to make things easy.
ReplyDelete~Kelli
I love your card posts and look forward to them! What a great Mr. Linky idea. I hope to have time to participate!
ReplyDeletePraying a wonderful week for you, missy!
Kelli,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the motivation!! I almost missed this post,I am not quite sure how!! ;o) I love the cards that you made. I will have to try that layout soon.
Love,Heather
