Welcome to this week's card making project!
Gather your tools and supplies. You will need a 5 1/2" x 4" blank notecard, cardstock, scrapbook paper, stickers (or rubber stamp) and ribbon.
Glue a 5 1/4" x 3 3/4" piece of scrapbook paper to front of blank notecard.
Cut a 5 1/4" x 1 3/4" strip of cardstock. Trim the bottom edges with decorative scissors or use a paper punch.
Glue to front of card, as shown. I also shaded the edges with a foam ink pad.
Tie a 15" length of ribbon around card and tie a knot. Trim ends.
Cut a 2 1/2" square of cardstock. Cut a slightly smaller square and add sticker or stamp. Glue to larger square. These exact measurements may vary depending on your sticker or stamp.
Glue to front of card. Send to a friend!
Happy Birthday version.

Every card looks special, and I'm sure the recipients love the effort you took to make one for them.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful! I just stumbled across your blog a couple of days ago, and I'm glad that I did. You are giving me some wonderful and creative ideas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the decorative edge on the strip of paper!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use the wrapping paper - I'll have to keep that in mind.
Have a wonderful day!!

Thanks for hosting, your cards and instructions are the best.
ReplyDeleteI love those cards. You make it look so easy. I'm going to make my mother one this year. So much more special than a bought one!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Kelli, I love the scalloped edge on the Mother's Day card and the birthday card is so cheerful. I want to get to JoAnn's soon and by some supplies so I can make my Mother's Day cards. You are right, May 10 is right around the corner.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Debbi
Very nice and thanks for the idea of using wrapping paper.
ReplyDeleteMama Bear
Those are so pretty, I love to use your ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love the little girl holding the bird.
ReplyDeleteI really love those teachers cards, they are so original!
ReplyDeleteLovely as always! I haven't seen decorative scissors or a paper punch quite like the one used for the edging. Quite nice! Is the picture with the little girl from a stamp?
ReplyDeleteWow! I love that paper punch! And the school cards are adorable! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, once again! I love the technique you use on the edges of the paper, but I can never get it to work for me. Any hints?
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI have a question about your stickers. Do you just use that spray adhesive you have pictured, then stick them to waxed paper? Or do you use some sort of repositionable adhesive? I've been wondering this for a while.
I love the first card so much! The paper is so pretty...you have such a knack for putting just the right things together!
ReplyDeleteI really like the old gift wrap/sticker idea too!
Those are absolutely beautiful, Kelli! I have a question....how are you making your stickers? My paper crafting prize arrived yesterday...thank you so much! I just posted a photo on my blog of it! Have a beautiful Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteHappy (early) Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so cute!! Love the stamp with the little girl and bird.
