Hello! I am enjoying this Autumn season, so I'm sharing another acorn themed card, but you can use any kind of paper, rubber stamps, stickers, etc. that you have.
Gather your supplies. My 10 Top Card Making Essentials list is HERE.
Cut a 5 3/8" x 3 7/8" rectangle of scrapbook paper or cardstock. Glue to front of 5 1/2" x 4" blank notecard.
Cut a 5" x 2 1/2" rectangle of scrapbook paper. Cut an approx. 3" x 2" rectangle of cardstock. The exact size will depend on the rubber stamped image or stickers that you use.
Glue cardstock to front of scrapbook rectangle. Tie a length of ribbon around bottom, tie a knot, and trim ends.
Add a rubber stamped quote or write with a pen along edge of card, as shown. Glue scrapbook paper to front of card.
Send to a friend! You can see more card tutorials HERE.
Christmas version.
A few more things I've made recently...
Snowman gift tags.

Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your great card tutorials. Several years ago my husband and I brought four more children into our home through adoption. Because their needs were so great I was unable to make any cards for almost two years. Now that things are better for them and us, I am finally able to take some time to make cards again. It is truly a blessing to use your instructions as I don't have time to create my own designs right now. Thank you very much. I just wanted you to know that you have blessed me with your talents.
Lovely as usual Kelli! How sweet of you to offer a gift certificate to your shop! What a great prize!!
ReplyDeletePlease put my name in the hat!!
Blessings,
Becky

You do such a beautiful job on your cards. How do you get the stamp design on the card so nicely? You never have excess around the edges of the design or blotches of heavy ink in the design. Happy Etsy anniversary!
