Very easy card idea

Cards are easy to do, and can be customized by using favorite colors or a favorite saying even.  They can be made with scraps of paper oftentimes, making it a cheap card.   With the card you see here, the colors match from the saying and heart to the pinks in the card.  I added a bit of ribbon and lace, with a handmade buckle embossed to match. 

You can change the colors, use birthday background paper, with a Happy Birthday saying and an image stamp to match!     Look for small saying stamps with small image stamps to match, the squares are all the same size to make it easier when putting it together. 

The fun part of this card was the buckle made out of a soda pop top and embossing powder to match!  This can be done with just about any color of embossing powder you have that can match the paper you are using. 

Supplies needed: 

Card back

Background paper in 2 coordinating colors

Button

Image and saying stamps

Ink to match

Ribbon and lace

Buckle

Step one:  Taking the card back, cut the background papers so that you leave a bit of the other colors underneath the next layer.  (See photo)

Step two:  Cut 3 squares 1.5 x 1" with 1 of the background papers layered for the right side of the card. Taking the 2 stamps, ink your stamp with the stamp pad and stamp on two of the squares. 

Step three:  Attach the squares with the button in the middle of the three squares. 

Step four:  Taking embossing powder, heat the pop buckle before you dip in embossing powder.  You might have to dip the buckle 2-4 times to get the right color, make sure you don't over heat the powder. 

Step five:  Attach the ribbon to the buckle, and then attach to the card using hot glue. 

I hope you enjoy this card, and with everything, please make sure if you recreate to give me credit!
