Products Needed - Craft Knife Steel Ruler Glue Stick/PVA Glue 3D Sticky Tape Red Greetings card 3 x variations of 3D Hearts Pink & Red card/papers for cutting In order to make the perfect greetings card, you need to make sure that your working space is clean and that you have enough space to cut, glue and create. I feel that is especially important to prepare properly before starting any crafts project, what ever it may be. A good place to start is with your sketch pad and a very sharp pencil…always sketch out your ideas, its best they go wrong on paper first! (as they always will first time) 1. Take your greetings card and lay it on your work mat, I normally take a good look at the size of the card before I start cutting and sticking, you should of already sketched out the design of your card, so now is the time to try and visualize it on the face of the card and make any changes! 2. Chose the coloured card that you think will work best on this design of card, and cut into squares as seen on the design. These will need to measure slightly larger than the other squares that are going on the card, so that you can still see the background behind. 3. Using the 3D sticky tape, cut into small manageable squares and stick on to the back of your 3D shapes. 4. Carefully peel back the layer of paper from the 3D sticky tape, and place the heart in the position you want! Try to use alternative colours for backgrounds and a variation of 3D shapes to give you card some character. 5. Place the squares that you have created on to the greetings card and move them around before sticking them so that you create an arrangement that you are happy with. Take your pva glue and slowly drizzle enough glue on to the backs of the squares and stick in position. 6. Finally if you have decided that you want to put some words on your card, take a small piece of white card, and a fine line black felt tip pen. Make sure you know what you want to write and only cut it out once you have worked out it is in the middle of the rectangle. To give the wording depth, carefully stick it on to some black card. This idea for a greetings card can be used with any theme, but I think works especially well with hearts and plenty of layers. Here is the finished card on my site Good luck!
