DIRECTIONS:
- Create the base of your card out of cardstock or use a pre-made blank card. Cut to the desired shape. Get creative — make circles, rectangles, squares, animals and other fun shapes.
- Add embellishments and designs to your blank cards. Use markers, paint & stamping for background layers. Then add interest by layering paper cutouts in fun shapes or add banding across the card. Finish off the top with stickers, gems and handwritten messages.
JOANN HACKS:
- Create custom cardstock by repeating a stamp pattern on solid paper for added interest.
- Vary the shapes and sizes of your cards. Get creative and make your cards into animals or even food.
