Greeting Cards

I created these greeting cards kind of the old-fashioned way--cutout by hand (although I did use a template).  I know most people will read that line
and already be bored and ready to move on.  They want to use their die cutting machines.
But I love this pattern, and that's why I still use this template.  So, if I have to cut it by hand, I'm willing to do that.  I have another really cute little box template that I love, that I also cut by hand.

This time, I made four different cards.  A Thank You card, Birthday card, and the other two could be used for Thinking of You, Friendship or really any type of gift.

Materials list:
PaperStamps
Stamp pads
Scissors
pencil
Glue
RibbonString/twine (to attach tag)

1. Choose your paper and cut out all of you pieces.

2. Stamp your insert.  When I made my insert, I paper matched the image I stamped.  You can color yours, paper match or leave it as a stamped image (as I did with my Thank You card--third card).  To paper match, stamp your image onto the insert and then stamp it again onto colored paper and cut out the pieces you want colored.  As you can see, I choose a couple of different colored papers.  Glue those pieces into place on your stamped image.

This is the result from the paper matching after the pieces are glued.

3. Decorate your tag.

4. Assemble your pieces.

5. Attach your tag and a cute ribbon.  That's it your done.
