Today I thought it would be fun to create a birthday card using only Memory Box cardstock instead of the Memory Box patterned paper packs. I really had fun with this card. So, grab your cardstock and a sanding block, and let's see how I made today's creation!
2. After embossing, sand each piece and cut to fit your 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white card. Hold each section together with photo tabs placed on the back.
3. Sew around the entire edge of this piece.
4. Add a piece of ribbon around the center of the embossed piece and adhere to your card base.
5. Stamp the Memory Box Butterfly Twig stamp {D1351} on a separate piece of white cardstock.
6. Color in each butterfly with your Copic markers.
7. Cut the image out using a die of your choice. I used the Spellbinders Labels One die.
8. Sponge the edges before removing your die.
9. Stamp the sentiment on a scrap piece of the embossed sugar plum cardstock and adhere to your image.
10. Adhere the image to the center of your card.
11. Add a bow and pearls to finish!
So, let's see your cardstock cards!! Post links to your creations in the comment section. Enjoy, and have a great weekend crafting!
