GETTING STARTED

Materials & tools

  • A2 or 5 x 7 inch blank card base
  • Coordinating cardstock in 2–3 colors
  • Scrap paper for testing placement
  • 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

  1. Fold the card base carefully and burnish the crease with a bone folder or the back of a spoon.
  2. Choose a simple color palette. Cut a background panel slightly smaller than the card front, leaving an even border.
  3. Create the focal design from cardstock, stamped images or patterned paper. Arrange the pieces before attaching them.
  4. Add dimension with foam adhesive behind the main focal pieces. Keep the layers balanced and avoid bulky edges.
  5. Add the greeting and any small embellishments. Check that the card still closes neatly.
  6. 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.
