Birthday Cards - Greeting Cards - ”Blue Collage Card”

In a craft shop you can find a wonderful selection of designer scrapbooking papers. By combining 2 or 3 that match, you can create wonderful and unique collage cards for all occasions. This is an example of a card using 3 papers and arranging them in a pleasing way onto a blank card.

 

 

Birthday Card - Greeting Card - Blue Collage Card for all Occasions

For this project you will need:

- white blank card
- white cardstock
- natural paper in off white color
- 3 different sheets of scrapbook papers that match in color
- 2 pewter flower brads
- mesh ribbon
- hole puncher and eyelet
- Sizzix Sidekick© with Sizzlet© butterfly motif
- brass embossing template with alphabet and square
- light box for embossing
- clear 2-sided self adhesive sticky foil or tape
- stronger 2-sided self adhesive sticky tape
- 3-D pads
- scissors

 

 

 

Instructions:

1. Fold a sheet of the flowered blue paper and use the stick glue to glue it to the white blank card. This makes the card sturdy.
2. Cut a piece of the mesh ribbon to fit the size of your card and adhere it off center and digonal with clear sticky tape.
3. Cut a tag out of white cardstock and glue a piece of matching blue paper over it and cut away the excess paper so that the tag is blue.
4. Tear a strip of the natural paper and glue it to the tag. Trim the edges.
5. Punch 3 holes in the tag. One hole at the top middle and 2 holes to the top right. In the middle hole, attach an eyelet.
6. Emboss a square and inside the square the word “HI!” to a piece of the natural paper. Cut out around the edges and use 3-D pads to attach the piece to the tag.
7. Use the Sizzix Sidekick© and create a butterfly out of matching green paper. Use 3-D pads to attach the butterfly to the tag.
8. Insert the brad flowers in the 2 remaining holes in the tag.
9. Cut a strip of the mesh ribbon and tie it to the hole in the top of the tag.
10. Use the strong self adhesive foil to attach the tag now to the card.
