Hello!

Card project designed by Sharon M Reinhart March 2020
Stopping by to share this project and instructions, I thought possibly it could provide some creative therapy. ❤️
First create the card base with a 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of white card stock. Score at 4-1/4 inches and fold in half. Next layer a 4 x 5-1/4 inch piece of solid colour card stock followed by a 3-3/4 x 5 inch piece of printed card stock, this particular one is a speckled double-sided card stock from Lawn Fawn. Now don’t worry if you don’t have it. You can create by splattering paint with a toothbrush or by tapping the paintbrush. There are also many stencils that would work and stamps. Worse case scenario just pick a pretty piece of paper from what you have.
The next step is to layer a scallop strip to the card front using a die template or edgers. Then cut a strip from glitter card stock and adhere on top of the straight edge of scallop. Some options here if you don’t have glitter card stock is to apply tape to a piece of cardstock and then apply glitter and burnish into the tape, or paint a piece of card stock with shimmer or glitter paste, or check your gift wrapping supplies for a glitter bag that you can cut apart. Next, using punches or die templates create a collage of flowers and leaves, this collage was created with die templates from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Add a touch of sparkle to the flower Centers with adhesive rhinestones. The final touch is to add a sentiment, this particular one is a die template from Avery Elle. Keep in mind that you could use stamps, stickers or other word Die templates or even computer generate a sentiment.
I hope that I have given you some ideas on what you can use to create this project while we are all doing our part to flatten the curve of this virus by social distancing and self isolation. Be sure to check your local craft stores as many are providing delivery or curb side pick ups!
Creatively Yours,
Sharon
