Sorry I've been away for a few days! It's been a busy week! This post is about a product I learned about at the CKC Convention in San Marcos last Fall It is a Post-it Craft Paper that is fully adhesive. A great product to do quick and easy projects and one that kids can use as well! To learn more, check out their website at post-it.com/craft The picture to the right shows a piece of the craft paper with the paper back that is peeled off.
For this project I used some stamps but I'm not sure what brand they are. However, you could find a frog picture and create the sentiment with your computer quite easily! Here's the steps for creating this card:
- Create your card base using a 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 inch piece of white cardstock. Score at 4 1/4 inches. Fold to create card.
- Cut a light blue piece of Post-it craft paper and center on the front of card.
- Using a oval cutter, cut a half oval at any angle you would like out of a brown piece of the Post-it craft paper. Adhere it to the bottom of the light blue paper to create your pond bank.
- Stamp the frog and lilly pad on a piece of kelly green Post-it paper and trim it to 1/8 inch around the stamped image. Use black ink.
- Stamp the sentiment, "Sorry I Frog-got your birthday" on a lime green piece of Post-it craft paper. Punch corners with corner rounder. Layer this piece the brown Post-it craft paper and trim edges to 1/8 inch. Punch corners of brown paper with corner rounder.
- Place sentiment in top left corner, leaving a 1/8 inch border of light blue on the top and left. Place the frog on the light blue, overlapping the sentiment if needed.
- Cut a 1/4 circle to create the son in the corner. cut the rays out in any pattern you wish.
- Stamp the sentiment, "Have a Hoppy Birthday!" on the inside of the card.
