Welcome to this week's handmade card project!
Gather your supplies. You will need:
-5 1/2" x 4" blank notecard
-Scrapbook paper
-Cardstock
-Rubber stamp or stickers
-Ribbon
Cut a 5 1/4" x 2" rectangle (the top) and a 5 1/2" x 1 3/4" rectangle (the bottom) from scrapbook paper.
Cut a 5 1/4" x 1/4" strip from cardstock. Cut a 5 1/4" x 1" strip from scrapbook paper. Cut bottom edge with paper punch or use decorative scissors.
Glue larger rectangle to top of card and decorative cut strip to bottom of card, as shown.
Glue smaller rectangle to front of card, overlapping both paper seams. Finally, glue cardstock strip along seam of the two rectangles.
Cut an approx. 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" oval from cardstock. Add rubber stamp image or stickers. Glue to front of card, as shown. I also shaded the edges with a foam ink pad.

I love the edge on your card. It is a very pretty design
You do such a great job Kelli!! I am not that creative or patient to sit down and do such detailed work. Great job!
I'm so loving those gift tags!
I am partial to the Holly Hobbie one. :-) Please add my name for the drawing. :-)
I love the Holly Hobbie one! Your cards are done so well, and they are easy enough for me to do once you show me, thank you for the great instruction!
i, I love the card. You have such a way of mixing and matching papers! But I especially love the tags with the lace ties. Beautiful work~
So, so pretty. I received a gift card to Michael's for Mother;s Day, and this is making me anticipate using it!!
I think I've asked before but missed the answer -- is the image here from a stamp? You have some of the cutest ones I've never seen before.
Amazing as always. I loved the post with your kids! They are beautiful children!
Thanks for posting your 'how-to' cards, I love all the ideas. Your projects are great and an inspiration to everyone, especially someone new to paper crafts like myself!
Have a great day!
I love your style! Very inspiring! Here's my link for my first paper crafting link-up. :-)

The gift tags are so cute! Also, I love just about anything with Holly Hobby on it. It reminds me of my old Holly Hobby Easy Bake oven that I had (and cherished)as a child.
Everything you make is so pretty. Thanks for sharing. Here is my link for Paper Crafting Wednesday.

I love the friendship saying on the garden card.
I'm a winner! Woo hoo!!! I just emailed you! I love the Holly Hobbie image. I loved her when I was a kid. I love the tags too.
I so appreciate how you always include instructions with your cards. I haven't done any in awhile, but I always look forward to seeing what you and the other ladies have made in the past week.
Thanks for sharing your newest creations. My favorite is the Holly Hobby card.
Have a good rest of the week. Love, Debbi
Beautiful handmade cards. All of your creations are lovely. Do you actually send these to people? What a special card; much more personal and meaningful than store bought. Blessings, MomStarr
