DIY Cards

 Hello again! In the picture above there are four of my homemade cards. I love to make things unique and special by creating my cards by hand. Usually I look for ideas on Pinterest and from there I create my own designs. In this post I tell you how I made them and give you guys a few ideas to make your own! I

- Different Font Card -

 I wish I could've thought of a more creative name for this card but alas no... my imagination doesn't stretch that far so we will have to make do with 'different font card'. Sorry! For this card, all you need is a pencil, black fine liner and a plain, white piece of A4 card. I first drew out my words in pencil onto the card, starting at the top and making my way to the bottom. I then went over the pencil lines with fine liner, colouring in some of the words

- Musical Note Button Card -

For this card I used again a plain, white sheet of A4 card, a pencil, a black fine liner and 7 black buttons of different shape and size. I first used a ruler to draw on the lines with pencil and then marked on where all the notes would go. I then drew with a ruler the notes before I stuck on the buttons. I glued on the buttons with PVA glue.

- Elephant Balloons -

For this card I used:

• two pieces of different patterned paper
• 13 buttons (different colours)
• green, sparkly card
• A4 white card
• Black fineliner  

To make this card I used a template for the elephant and its ear. I cut them out of the patterned paper and stuck them onto the white card with double sided tape. I then cut a strip of green card (long enough to fit on the width of the card) and frayed the edges slightly to make it look like 3D grass. I stuck that on with double sided tape too. Using the black fine liner I marked out where the buttons would go before joining them to the elephants trunk. I used UHU glue to stick each button on.

- Daffodil Card -

I used buttons again for this card for the center of the daffodils. You need a plain, white sheet of A4 card, orange, yellow crayons, black fine liner (again) and 6 yellowy buttons of different sizes and shapes. First I drew each daffodil (without the buttons) and coloured them in with the yellow and orange crayons. I made them stand out a bit more with the fine liner. I drew straight lines with a ruler to the bottom of the page for the stems. Using PVA, I stuck the buttons into the centers of the daffodils.

Thank you for reading! I really enjoy designing and making little things like this and I hope you will too. 

Thank you again x
