Here is a tutorial I did for Scrapbook Obsessions a while back. This was originally taught to me by a friend of mine at our local scrapbook store. I have kinda put a few variations on it and made it my own (actually I forgot some of the steps she showed) but it is pretty much the same thing. (THANK YOU STEF YOU ROCK!) It is really fun to get your children involved in also! They love making cards! It is fun to see what they come up with. Bella loves to make her teacher cards. (HOW SWEET IS THAT?)
I always need ideas for a quick gift to give teachers, friends or family. This has been a life saver gift for me on many occasions! SO come on lets have some fun!!
Its not hard, so get you some supplies and join in.
I have broken it down in easy easy steps, so even a beginner can play along! It is very inexpensive to make also. You can buy packs of these 6 x 6 page protectors at Hobby Lobby and there are about 10 in a pack.) really inexpensive (under 5 dollars and they go on sale cheaper than that) I am always making cards with leftovers. So this is another one of those inexpensive projects! SCORE! (Mostly leftovers from various kits)
I used Patterned paper from Fancy pants
card stock
rub ons
chipboard shapes
buttons
stickers
color box fluid ink chalks
1) 6 x 6 page protector
take a 6x6 page protector and cut the part that you put into the album off just after the seam.
Cut a piece of double sided paper to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.
Round one end, you can use a dinner plate or a bowl and trace around the edge of it then cut. Ink the edges
SCORE at 2 and 1/2 and at 3 inches from the rounded edge.
slide down inside the page protector. Place a velcro sticky on the rounded edge of card stock and one on the matching side of the page protector to hold it closed.
You can decorate with a piece of Fiber or twill (cute little frilly ball hangy fiber as I have here) Jewels, buttons etc.
To go around the edge.
THEN make 4 general occasion cards.
Here are the ones that I made:
I am working on a few more things that I HOPEE to get posted today. I really love this little tutorial and since IT IS "WORLD CARD MAKING DAY." I thought it would be fun to share This "TUTORIAL FROM THE PAST" again with you guys. I really do enjoy writing tutorials. I miss doing that. Makes me realize how much I miss it. There are a lot of New scrappers out there that have not seen these. I also have had some requests for some of these as well.
