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

Paper
You will need:
-Blank 6 1/2" x 5" notecard

Cover blank notecard with scrapbook paper.

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

Just quickly rub the edges, as shown.

Knife
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.

Happy Birthday to Benjamin! He is one VERY handsome young man. And since I used to teach 3rd grade, 8 years old is about my most favorite, besides the toddler stage. He looks like one terrific young man. I hope he has a great day.

Happy birthday to Benjamin!

The cards are all lovely. Thanks for the tip about going around the edges with an ink pad. Someone else told me they used a paintbrush and ink pad, but this sounds much simpler.

Wanita said...

Happy birthday to Benjamin! Sounds like you have a fun day planned.

Thanks for the card. It's beautful!

Blessings,
Wanita

Oh I love all your ideas. I love the idea of covering a premade card. But I am going to try covering a real card. Let's see how it works. Maybe I can post later. Got a new camera! Yea.
