Hi, everyone! Raise your hand if you love sending cards to your friends and loved ones! Teri here to show you to make a super cute card to drop in the mail next time you go to send out some happy snail mail!
Stamped Images and Shapes
Start by stamping and die-cutting a few mail-themed images and sentiments. Color them in with markers (or pencils)!
Pop Them Up
Use a combination of 3D Foam Squares Mix in White and 3D Foam Large Strips in White on the back of them. Is your strip or square too large? No problem! Use your scissors to cut the foam down to fit perfectly on your die-cut elements!
Put the Card Together
Set your die-cut images aside and apply strips of patterned paper to a card base with the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. Great for a strong hold!
Last Touches
Set your largest die-cut element upside down and apply 3D Foam Strips Large White on the back. Next, take a piece of thread or twine and randomly place it across it, allowing some of the fiber to “peek out” from behind the die-cut. Place the die-cut shape on your card.
Add your other stamped images to the card as well. Complete your card by embellishing it with sequins. Adhesive Dot Micro works well for this – the size is perfect! Simply place an Adhesive Dot on your card and set a sequin right on top!
I felt like the snail was floating a bit after I completed my card so I took a marker and scribbled a little shadow underneath it. Another fun idea would have to put some adhesive under it and add some flock or glitter to it. Maybe I’ll try that with my next card!
I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and are inspired to make some cards of your own to send out!
Happy Creating!
