Inverse Cards

Hello! I have an idea, why don't we make a few birthday cards today! It's one of those days when you have nothing to do but be creative, so let's get creative!

We need:

Construction Paper
Patterned Paper
Newspaper
A tracable object
Pencil
Scissors
Glue

1. Fold a color of construction paper of your desire in half.
2. Carefully trace out your tracable object with your pencil on the front side of the card. (Can go off of the page, does make the cutting easier.)
3. Cut out the penciled in object, erase any lines that may still be left.
4. Open the card, on the side that has the cut out glue the patterned pieces of paper (and newspaper if you desire) FACE DOWN on the flap on the card. Be careful that you dont glue your card to the table. Wait for the card to entirely dry before doing anything else.
5. Turn the card over and voila! A beautiful homemade card that you made.


Mine is for my grandpa, it was his birthday this month! ☺ Happy Crafting!
