Good afternoon!! I really apologize for not having this up sooner. So, instead of giving lots of excuses why my post wasn't yesterday or this morning, I thought I would just move on with the tutorial. After all, that's what you are here for right...lol!!
So, Thursday I had my weekly TSN (Try Something New) post. The challenge was to create a shape card. I created a baby Onesie card that was inspired by a friend. You can check out the entire post HERE. Today I am going to give the directions for making the card. I am also going to add a little something else to the card. I am going to make it a gift card holder as well. :)
Here we go:
1) Cut a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of cardstock. Score the cardstock lengthwise at 3 1/4 and 8 3/4.
2) Cut a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 piece of designer paper. Use the scalloped edge punch to punch one side of the DP.
3) Center your oval punch on the top of the card. Punch paper at a little less than half the punch size. See the picture below.
4) Punch the designer paper at more than half the punch size.
5) Use the scalloped circle punch to punch the corners of the bottom of the card.
6) Adhere designer paper, buttons, ribbon and stamp sentiment to the front of the card.
7) Add a sentiment to the inside of the card.
8) To make this card into a gift card holder: Adhere the edges of the bottom flap of the card. Make sure you do not adhere the top of the flap. That is where the gift card will be placed. Add brads to the edge/corners for added security.
And here is the finished card:
