Age-Themed Cards
Thanks for your support!
If you are stuck for card ideas, or if you are making a card for a milestone birthdays, a good solution is to use the recipients age as the theme of the card. You can use the recipients favourite colours to personalise the card.
Recommended Materials:
- Card and paper in your desired colours
- Fiskars ShapeXpress with Alphabet templates or Die Cut Machine with Alphabet Dies or Scissors
- Embossing Folder - I used Cutttlebug "Swiss Dots"
- Xyron Sticker Maker
- Double Sided Sticky Tape
Instructions:
1. Cut out the letters required for the age. I used a fiskars alphabet and cutter, but you can print off letter templates and cut them out by hand, or cut out your own free-hand, or use a die-cut machine like a Sizzix Big-Shot machine. Whatever works best for you. Cut the letters out twice. Firstly from a piece of patterned paper, and then again out of a piece of plain backing paper. |
3. Create a background for your letters.
I have used a piece of dark silver paper (12.5cm wide x 11cm high), adhered to the page on an angle. On top of that is a piece of grey paper, which I ran through the Sizzix Big shot in an dots embossing folder (12.9cm wide x 9.3cm high) and then backed by a piece of red card measuring 13.5cm wide x 9.8cm high. |
