Nearly a month ago I started on a Paper Wishers board challenge to use up pre-printed cards in my stash. Then I got side-tracked with other things and am only now getting back to this challenge.
Today's card started out looking like this:
I suddenly got to thinking that my diorama die might just fit - and it did! I only had the tiniest sliver of card left after cutting it out.
Card Base: I made the card base by using the diorama dies (Divinity Designs) with the rectangular opening. I had to use plain white card stock for the cross pieces on the inside of the card, but that was fine.
Decorating: For the cake & sentiments, I used stickers from my stash - backed with white card stock & fussy cut. Two of the presents were printed that I fussy cut. One I stamped on a scrap of patterned paper & colored it with a marker before fussy cutting. Then I found a few "streamers" in my stash & added them.
Back: I don't show it, but the back of these cards have a manufacturer's mark that I needed to cover up so the card would look good. I cut a piece of white cardstock & folded it to make a 3" x 3" card. The square piece that had been cut out of the card front was just the right size to glue to the front of this mini card - which I then glued in place over manufacturer's markings. This gives me a nice place to write a message to the recipient, and also adds some additional stability when this card is standing up!
