Welcome to this week's homemade card project! I made Valentine cards, but any kind of paper, stamps, or stickers will work.
You will need a blank 5 1/2" x 4" notecard.
Cut 2- 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" strips of scrapbooking paper and 1- 2" x 5 1/4" strip from coordinating paper.
Shade the edges with an ink pad, if desired.
Glue smaller strips to front of card, as shown.
Glue the remaining strip in the center.
Cut a small oval from cardstock (size with depend on the stamp or stickers you use.) Add stamp or stickers.
Glue to front of card.
I also added a tiny gem.
Another version.
A vintage style bird version.

A few more things I've made recently...
New baby petite notecards.
Little Women greeting card.

Paper doll fabric notecards.
Items can be found in my Etsy Shop! Thank you for stopping by for a visit!
Paper Craft Fun: 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 two of the names and the winners will receive supplies for a homemade card: blank notecard, envelope, and an assortment of scrapbook paper, stickers (or stamped images), and ribbon. Link back here in your post, so that others will know where to join in the fun, too!
I'll be making one for my valentine. Thank you. Mimi
ReplyDeleteYour website is very inspirational. I've been a bit out of the cardmaking mood for a year or so now, but your blog has helped kickstart that desire again. Thanks! Your cards are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli!!
ReplyDeleteLove your new petite cards and the fabric cards!! Just precious!! I so enjoy seeing what you create!
Blessings,

Hey Kelli,
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of glue do you use? I've noticed that Elmer's will show through quite easily. Hot glue can too, though not as bad. I was going to try Alleen's (sp?) Craft Glue next.
Your cards always put mine to shame, Kelli. You do such a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteAll your cards are so pretty, but I especially love the paper doll fabric cards! Too Cute!

I love that rabbit scene..is it a stamp or printed image? If it's a stamp I'd love to know who makes such great ones! Thank you for my inspiration...again!
ReplyDeletePenny
These are so beautiful!!! Thank you for showing how to do them!! I will give it a try!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you!!
Hi, Kelli.
ReplyDeleteAll of your cards are lovely. Yes, I was wondering about the glue too. I use Elmer's thinned and it make the paper or cards wavy a bit. Same with glue stick.
As always, I loved the paper craft tutorial.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty and what a sweet gift you got the other day too. Thank goodness the ice is gone! It was hard at our place the hoses froze thankfully we already filled all the water for the animals. Our pipes froze and we didn't have water till 3:00 yesterday. Thankfully they thawed with no mishap! Have a great beautifully sunny day!
