Handmade Joyful Card

Several rolls of handmade papers were gifted to me by my brother and his wife when they went to Sir Lanka on vacation. Hi, Margie here today, and I want to share what I created with it. Also, what adhesives I used to make it work!

Joyful Panels

The pattern had natural elements in it so I wanted it to make a background. Die-cut a rectangle panel for a top panel.

Joyful Paper Doll

Using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, I die-cut and paper-pieced a kimono girl with a combination of patterned paper and white, cream, and black cardstock. With the Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft., I secured the paper doll on the panel.

Using the same Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft., I covered the back of the panel and matted it on a larger citrus green panel before adding to a white cardstock card base.

Add Joyful Sentiment

Stamp the sentiment with black ink on a piece of white cardstock and die-cut it with a strip die. For interest, I cut the ends in a diagonal. Secure it to the upper right corner using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.

Designer’s Note: Use the rounded end of a bone folder to burnish the paper doll into the panel for strong adhesion.

I love the combination of cardstock and handmade paper for a unique texture and dimension. If you have specialty papers, use them to create something similar to my Handmade Joyful Card!
