Hello everyone! July is full of birthdays in this family and I just couldn't see myself spending $6 and $7 on a card. I decided that I was going to make my own, I had everything I needed to make them at home anyways. They are fun to make, inexpensive, and you can get creative with them.
Things you will need:
Paper; both cardstock and scrapbook paper
Scissors
Ruler
Glue
Pencil
Envelope
Something round (I used the top to a candle)
For your envelope just unfold the one you have and trace it on your scrapbook paper.
Cut and fold.
Now glue the edges together and you are done with your envelope.
For my card I chose to make a popsicle, but you could make whatever you wanted.
Make sure to fold your paper in half, width wise, so you can open and close it.
The first time I made my card I didn't take any measurements, so you don't really have to either,
but for this one I made it 5 inches wide and 3 3/4th inches long.
To round off the top you can use anything round, I used the top to a candle which was the perfect size
for me.
Take a white piece of paper and cut a thin crescent moon shape, then glue it to the top corner of your choice.
Cut a piece of brown card stock for the stick. I cut my about 2 to 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.
You can either leave it squared off or round it. I chose to make my round. If you want to you could also use a popsicle stick which you could buy at any craft store, they have thin and thick ones.
Glue it to the back and there you go, you're finished.
