Crafter Joe Lamancusa shows special greeting cards that kids can make for any occasion. Materials:
Assorted colored markers
Card stock or note paper
PEELnSTICK®
Glitter
Craft knife
Optional: construction paper, glitter, art supplies
Designer's Choice® glue
Glue pen - Fold a piece of card stock or note paper in half. Draw a birthday candle at the bottom edge of the card centered between the sides.
- Cut a piece of PEELnSTICK adhesive to fit the face of the card from above the candle to the top of the card and the width of the card. Leave a circular opening around the top of the candle for the candle flame. Attach the PEELnSTICK to the card.
- With a craft knife, score the PEELnSTICK from the candle flame outward to the sides and top in a sunray pattern. Do not cut through the note-card paper (figure A).
- Peel away the adhesive backing on the first section of the sunray pattern, and shake burgundy glitter over the adhesive (figure B).
- Continue peeling away the adhesive backing on each section of the sunray pattern and applying different colors of glitter.
- Write a birthday greeting on the inside of the card with a glue pen, and sprinkle glitter over the glue (figure C).
Confetti Card Materials:
Confetti paste
Card stock or note paper
Color marker
Paper plate
Foam brush
"Thank you" rubber stamp
Fireworks rubber stamp
Multicolored inkpad - Fold card stock or note paper in half.
- Write a greeting on the front of the card.
- Pour confetti paste onto a paper plate. Apply confetti paste to the front of the card with a foam brush, covering the entire card. The paste will be white when applied but will dry clear so the writing will be visible (figure D).
- Rubber-stamp the inside of the card with several images of a "thank you" rubber stamp and a fireworks stamp in multiple colors (figure E).
Variation: - Make a ribbon angel and tape it to the front of a card. Write a greeting on the inside of the card. The angel may be removed and put on a Christmas tree or used to decorate a candle (figure F).
