Card making ideas – let’s add some inspiration

Here are some card making ideas, which may add a new look to your greeting cards.

Add a Wired Touch

Add movement to a card using wire to attach the element. Try wrapping one element with wire and attach another one, so it would bounce.H

Make a Quick Card

Use a fancy font on your computer to create an inexpensive card. For a special touch add personalized metal rim tags by printing the icon on plain paper then adhere to the tag.

Sew It

Personalize a thank-you card by hand-stitching ribbon in the shape of a flower. Complete the look with machine-stitched lines.

Use Botanical Prints

Create an elegant look by punching botanical stems in the center of a mod card. Use warm colors to emphasize this botanical look.

Stitch It

Use the pattern of the paper as a guide to create a beautiful hand-stitched look.

Cut the Details

Use precise hand-cutting techniques to create the card. Ink the edges to add definition to the design.

Make a Simple Design

Use stamps to create bold flowers. Punch holes on the bottom half the card to allow the negative space to show through.

Use Fabric

Use fabric to add texture to your card design. Try covering a card with fabric pieces then embellish by machine-stitching other fabric pieces onto the card. For an extra special touch, create a flower out of sewn together pouches.

Use Other Objects

Fashion a cute flower shape out of safety pins. Add beads to the pins for an extra touch. To hide the glue holding the pins together, adhere a button to the center of the design.

Take Advantage of Leftovers

Create layers from your leftover scraps paired with solid card stock. Use a bunch to cut unique shapes, then play on top of coordinating patterned paper. Actually, leftovers even deserve a separate post!

Mimic a Pattern

Find inspiration from bold patterns. Mimic the pattern on a card by cutting a shape of card stock. Then tape some ribbons onto a card. Use different widths and patterns to create a unique look.

Leave Your Mark

Use see-though pocket embellishments to leave your personal touch on a card. Cut a plastic slide holder into pieces attach the strips to the card. Then fill the pockets with special items such as punched hearts and stickers.

Stick It

Create an encouraging card with phrase stickers placed in a grid. Top it off with a simple flower detail.

Use Real Flowers

Add a touch of realism to a card with pressed flowers. Make sure your flowers have lost all their moisture before using them in a project or they may turn brown. To attach the flowers use dry adhesive dots.
