How to Create a Stylish Birthday Card?
Hello! Welcome to the creative world of EM ART. Today, I will show you how to easily make a card that will impress any birthday celebrant. You’ll need a few basic materials, a bit of time, and some inspiration.
Required Materials:
- Pearlescent Cardstock A4
- Pearlescent Paper
- Scrapbooking Tags
- Pearl Flowers
- Decorative Flowers
- Satin Ribbon
- Double-Sided Tape
- Silicone Glue
- Compass
Steps for Making the Card:
Step 1: Preparing the Base
Start with the pearlescent cardstock, which will serve as the base of the card. Score the cardstock in the middle beforehand to avoid creasing when folding, and then fold it.
Step 2: Space for Your Message
Cut a piece of pearlescent paper measuring 13.5x20 cm to fit one half of the card. Attach the pearlescent paper inside the card using double-sided tape. This will prevent wrinkling of the paper that may occur when using glue.
Step 3: Cutting a Window
Using a compass, draw a circle in the lower corner of the card on the outside, making sure the size is proportional and visually appealing, then cut it out. This will serve as a window where you can add a tag with a greeting or another decorative element of your choice.
Step 4: Decorating the Window
Use silicone glue to attach small pearl flowers around the window. This will give a finished look and add extra charm to your card.
Step 5: Adding a Ribbon
Place a satin ribbon around the card using double-sided tape, and tie the ends into a bow to close the card.
Step 6: Decorating with a Floral Wreath
Decorate the remaining part of the card with flowers. In this video, we’ve combined velvet flowers and fabric roses. Optionally, you can decorate the flowers with pearls, beads, or other suitable elements. Arrange the flowers to form a wreath by alternating the two types, then glue them with silicone glue. If you wish, add another tag with a greeting inside the floral wreath.
Done!
