Handmade cards are always an appreciated sight in the mailbox. Most of us have a little downtime between the holidays, now is the perfect time to send out “just because” and\/or “thank you” cards.<\/p>\n

I hope all of our readers that celebrate Christmas, had a wonderful holiday!\u00a0 This paper collection sitting mostly untouched, so I decided to create a few cards. What I love about a paper collection, is that everything coordinates, and there are images and sentiments ready to use.<\/p>\n

\"Happiness<\/p>\n

For this card, I used some patterned paper, die cuts and adhesive, oh and a card base!<\/p>\n

Creating Handmade<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Create an A2 sized card base which is 4.25 x 5.5 in.<\/li>\n
  2. Trim the patterned paper to fit the card front with a little bit of border on all four sides (aka card panel). Then adhere the card panel to the card front using MyStik\u00ae Permanent Strips Dispenser<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. Adhere scalloped rectangle die cut to the card using Crafty Foam Tape White<\/a> for some dimension.<\/li>\n
  4. Adhere various shaped die cuts using 3D Foam Squares White, Regular<\/a>\u00a0for more dimension and interest.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Although it’s a simple add of 3D Foam products, it gives a sweet card like this a little something to wow your recipient \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    Are you familiar with the\u00a0MyStik\u00ae Permanent Strips Dispenser<\/a>? I love its features from three different options to dispense adhesives, personalize case and a self-closing dispenser.<\/p>\n
