GETTING STARTED
Materials & tools
- A2 or 5 x 7 inch blank card base

- Paper trimmer or scissors
- Double-sided tape or craft glue
- Foam adhesive squares
- Fine-tip marker or sentiment stamp
LET'S MAKE IT
Step-by-step instructions
- Fold the card base carefully and burnish the crease with a bone folder or the back of a spoon.
- Choose a simple color palette. Cut a background panel slightly smaller than the card front, leaving an even border.
- Create the focal design from cardstock, stamped images or patterned paper. Arrange the pieces before attaching them.
- Add dimension with foam adhesive behind the main focal pieces. Keep the layers balanced and avoid bulky edges.
- Add the greeting and any small embellishments. Check that the card still closes neatly.
- Let any wet adhesive dry, then add a coordinating insert and write a personal message inside.
CardCraft tip
Try the layout first with scrap paper. For a polished result, repeat one accent color in three small places and leave a little breathing room around the greeting.
