This card measures 5ins x 5ins and uses a smooth, plain, white pre-scored blank from a bulk pack from Hobbycraft.
A very, very simple birthday card today for my friend’s teenage son, not knowing his interests etc. I thought I would keep it pretty basic.
The paper came from an M & C Boutique paper pad bought from The Works on a buy one get one free offer, although a really lovely quality Christmas design pad, most of the designs are also suitable for a lot of other occasions/themes, so a bargain for just £1 per pad.
I covered the whole front of the card with a page from the pad ……………
……… and then mat and layered a 3D sentiment sticker from Home Bargains (I think they cost 69p or 79p a pack?) on the same paper, followed by silver mirror card and then a plain turquoise paper ……..
…….. before adding a little faux stitching using a black fine liner pen round the edge. I did wonder about adding a variety of different sized silver stars here and there but when I tried it they just got lost in all the pattern, so I left it at that, short, sweet and to the point.
