Handmade Card Tutorial
Welcome to this week's card making project! Remember that you can use any kind of scrapbook paper, stickers, or rubber stamps.
Gather your supplies. My 10 Top Card Making Essentials list is HERE. You will need:
-5 1/2" x 4" blank note card
-Cardstock
-2 coordinating scrapbook papers
-Ribbon
-Rubber stamps or stickers
Cut 2- 5 3/8 x 1" strips of scrapbook paper. Trim long edges with decorative scissors. Glue to front of card, as shown.
Glue a 5 3/8" x 3 5/8" piece of coordinating scrapbook paper to front of card.
Cut a 4 1/4" x 2" piece of cardstock. Add a rubber stamp image and shade the edges, if desired. Tie a 11" length of ribbon around cardstock, tie a knot and trim ends.
Glue to front of card, as shown.
Cut a 2 3/4" x 2 1/8" oval from scrapbook paper. Cut a slightly smaller oval from cardstock, add a rubber stamp image or sticker. Glue to front of larger oval.
Glue to card, as shown. I also added a small paper rose on the bow. Send to a friend!

We are getting closer to September each day and I'm dreaming of fall. I used a scrap of pretty fabric on this card.

Hi Kelli,
Your cards are gorgeous! I especially love the Thanksgiving one with the turkey! I am glad I am not the only one "dreaming" of fall. I cannot wait to get out my fall decorations! It is my favorite time of year. Take care!
God Bless,
Hillary
Your cards are so beautiful!
On the first one, I like that you place the piece of cardstock at an angle on the paper. I also like the idea of using fabric on the cards.

Hi Kelli! As usual the cards are beautifully and tastefully done. I am really liking the petite acorn cards. :-)
Looks like you are thinking ahead to fall. I know that is your favorite season. Love, Debbi
Oh I just love the Fall cards! Even though it's approaching 100 degrees outside, I couldn't help myself. I got the box of Autumn decorations down this week, and spent some time today looking at my new Gooseberry Patch Fall cookbook! Thanks for getting the season started!
My favorite are the Fall cards....I cant wait for Fall! Hate these Dog Days!
I was just thinking about fall today. It is so nice to see your beautiful cards and know I must not be alone.
Your Thanksgiving card is the best I have seen. I really, really, like it. Also, the acorn card is adorable.
Gorgeous!! You should sell kits!
Your work is just beautiful!!!
Oh My!! You know I love your cards, but these are especially awesome!! I thought the first was my fave until I saw the rest and I simply love them all! You sure do have a great colletion of rubber stamps, which is where I fall short.
Thanks so much for sharing them and for the tutorial!
HUGS,
