How to make a card


The easy step-by-step process
to make a simply yet attractive card

Tools you will need

...and paper of course

(I separate my paper into a patterned and plain boxes)



1. Make the center piece for your card. Simple is usually better.
This center piece was inspired by birds
on a power line.
2. Find 2 or 3 complementary piece of paper.
3. Find the paper you want to be the card itself, cut, and fold.

4. This card seemed empty so I added a few touches.

5. Glue all elements to the surface of the card.

6. Be sure to add your own logo on the back.

The finished product


A couple tips

1. Adding a lot of layers complements a simple card.

2. Tearing rather than cutting can add a nice effect.

3. Photographs can make nice centerpieces for those non-artists.
