Cardmaking Instructions
1) Get ready a piece of hot pink card blank.
2) Cut a piece of the pink-striped patterned paper and cut it slightly narrower than the card blank. Attach the pink-striped patterned paper to the left of the card blank as shown.
3) Cut a strip of white ribbon and attach it to the left-hand of the card.
4) Pierce two holes on the card blank using a needle. Alternatively, use a hole punch and punch two holes on the card blank.
Cut a small block of the pink cardstock. Cut an even smaller block of the yellow patterned paper. Adhere the yellow patterned paper block to the top of the pink cardstock block.
Measure and pierce/punch two holes on the layered yellow patterned paper.
Attach the pink cardstock to the card blank as shown. Make sure that the two sets of holes are in alignment and can be seen through.
5) Doodle tiny scallop borders around the yellow patterned paper.
Handwrite greetings below the pink cardstock using the black pen. Stick an epoxy sticker to the lower right of the card blank.
6) Insert a pair of jewelry earrings into the two holes.
In less than 15 minutes, you'll have created a beautiful card that's ready to hold your jewelry earrings.
Tip 1: Use light-weight jewelry pieces. If the earrings are slightly heavier, move the hole insertions lower down the card so that the card can still be left to stand on its own.
Tip 2: You can get little card boxes or padded envelopes to mail out your jewelry gift cards to protect your contents better. Hand delivery would make an excellent surprise too.
