Scrapbooking idea : Personalized Cards

Using various materials...
scrapbooking card materials
and some scrapbooking techniques, you can make a personalized card.




The base : a rectangular card cut from a yellow/beige cardstock folder.

* Clip the two outside corners with a little punch.
* Choose two paper sheets in contrasting colors to be pasted to this surface: a light green or beige striped sheet and a sheet of light green vellum stamped with leaves and flowers.
* To highlight the contrasts, tear, don't cut the vellum paper.
* Using this vellum paper, practise your embossing with a heart shape, using a stencil and leaning on a glass surface.
* Also stick on a gold metallic sticker : color the raised part with metallic felt tip pens.
* Paste a raised, button-shaped sticker on two, round-edged squares (which match the card's colors and are positioned in a diamond shape to make the link between the different cards and colors).



The letters of your message :

* are created using stamps and cardstock cut into little rectangles.
* A raised effect is achieved using adhesive 3D foam squares.
