This week's card project is very simple and is perfect for large patterned scrapbook paper.

-Blank 6 1/2" x 5" notecard
-6 1/4" x 4 3/4" rectangle of scrapbook paper
-Approx. 2" circle of scrapbook paper or cardstock. You can cut it with decorative scissors or use a paper punch.

Cover blank notecard with scrapbook paper.


I shaded the edges of the scalloped circle with a foam ink pad.


Just quickly rub the edges, as shown.


Cut a small slit in card fold with craft knife.


Stamp or add a sticker to scalloped circle and punch a small hole. Thread ribbon through slit and then through tag. Secure with knot.


I also added a tiny pearl gem.
