Hi, friends! Cold/flu season is upon us, and there’s no better cure than handmade Bold Take Care Cards for your “under the weather” friends! Teri here to show you how to put together these cards to let them know you’re thinking of them!
Make the Bold Take Care Card Background
Start by cutting a panel of white cardstock and several strips of colored cardstock. Arrange the strips onto your paper panel. Designer’s Tip: Make multiple cards in one sitting by cutting several panels and strips to make several all at once. Adhere your strips down with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
Set your panel in an embossing folder and run it through a die-cutting machine to give it texture. Designer’s Tip: Consider spritzing your panel first with water for a crisper and deeper embossing design.
The Sentiment
Die-cut your sentiment outline out of your card panel, and save that piece. Next, die-cut the sentiment from white cardstock several times to stack them for dimension. I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to secure the stack because it rolls over the shapes without leaving an adhesive residue between the open gaps. Then secure it on its matching sentiment outline piece with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.
Assemble Your Bold Take Care Card
Trim your cardstock panel to fit on a card base and mount it with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Apply Crafty Foam Tape to place your sentiment in the opening. Be generous – cut into small strips to fully cover the back of your matted sentiment.
Place your sentiment on your card. If you are making multiple cards at one time, consider using sentiments from different panels together.
Complete your card by adding 3D Foam Stars to the card front. Foil the stars with platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature to it. Make sure to face the color side up, rub gently to transfer the color, and remove the foil. Lastly, add sequins or other small embellishments.
I hope you are inspired by today’s Bold Take Care Cards post! Are you ready to make some cards of your own? Thanks, as always, for stopping by!
