Welcome to this week's card project! It's a very simple design and works well with large patterned scrapbook paper.
Gather your supplies and tools:
-6 1/2" x 5" blank notecard
-Cardstock
-Scrapbook paper
-Rubber stamp or pen
Glue a 6 1/2" x 1 1/2" strip of scrapbook paper along right edge of card, as shown.
Cut a 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" rectangle of cardstock. Glue a slightly smaller rectangle of matching scrapbook paper to front. Secure to front of card, as shown. These measurements may be slightly different, depending on the paper you use.
Add a rubber stamp image or write a saying with a pen.
Send to a friend!
Happy Birthday version.

Here are a few more things I've made this week...

A bookmark and tags made from vintage writing paper that I found at an Estate sale.
Little bird tags.

ReplyDeleteI love your website! Thanks for the giveaways! I hope that I win someday :) ANd I've made two of your card designs already! I'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteI have not had time to make any cards for a long time. I felt awful dropping a pretty penny on MOthers Day cards when I have plenty to make them at home. I love this idea so I think I will use it as a springboard! I love looking at all of your homemade paper crafts!
ReplyDeleteThe cherry card is so fresh! I wish I could get it on my birthday (might have to send it to myself =)! I love the vintage yellow tags, shall have to order some!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute cards! I especially like the bird tags.
