RTC paper is wonderful for making cards for any event! Christmas is coming up soon, so I decided to create a card for my family.
Directions on How to make this particular Card:
These are the tools you will need to create the card. I am using Mosaic Moments 4x4 RTC on 12x12 paper. You can also use the 4x6 RTC. You will also need a score cutter (not shown in picture).
First, cut off a section of the RTC paper as shown above at 4 inches. For 4x6 RTC you would cut at 6 inches.
Second, for this section you will need a SCORE cutter. You do not want to use a knife or else a card cannot be made. As shown above, vertically score every 4 inches (same with 4x6 RTC).
After you have scored the paper, fold the outside flaps to the inside. For my card, I put the right flap inside and the left flap is the front of the card. Next you can decorate and embellish the card however you like. And your Done!
Quick Tip: An one Inch Punch is great to cut out pattern paper. It is a quick and easy way to get the 1 in. squares. Pattern Paper is a lovely embellishment for cards. Be sure to try it!
Here is what the front of my card looks like. It is a perfect spot for a lovely photo or other large embellishment. Supplies I used for the front: Brick Card stock that was inked with dark ink chalk around the edges, and a white scalloped mat was placed over it. There is also a blue ribbon with a lovely snowflake charm.
This is the inside flap. Supplies used: This was created with light pink card stock inked with chalk ink. A Basicgrey™ tag, a pink ribbon, and a Making Memories™ metal ribbon label were used as embellishments.
This is the inside of the entire card. This was created using Basicgrey's™ Eskimo Kisses 6x6 pattern paper and BasicGrey™ Letter Stickers. The 1 in. squares in the center row were colored with chalk ink. I used a punch for the snowflakes.
Tip: For this card I used the Word Christmas. You can also fit the following words in this space:
Celebrate
Valentine
Halloween
Happiness
and other 9 letter words
I hope you have fun creating cards for this holiday season!
Enjoy!
