DIY Congratulations on New Home card

Materials: 

• Recollections Value Pack cards and envelopes in “Kraft” [Michaels]
• Printer with black ink
• Recollections Basic Bold 12″x12″ paper pad [Michaels]
• Black fine point pen (chimney smoke and doorknob)
• Elmer’s Craft Bond Tacky Glue 4 fl oz
• Black fine point pen (chimney smoke and doorknob)

OrganizationLove Pro Tips:

• When I design a new card in Microsoft Word, I always print on regular paper first before the actual card stock – to check if everything is centered and I am feeding the paper in the right way (trim paper to the size of the card you’re making)
• I also make the shapes first on regular paper (not decorative) then trace onto backs of decorative paper with pencil before cutting out. For this card I traced the roof and body of the house (triangle and square.) I winged it with the chimney and door
• If I made this card again, I would leave the doorknob off. I don’t like it a much as I thought I might

Caption Ideas:

• Because there are already words on the front of the card, outer captions are not necessary
• Inside notes:
  • So proud of you
  • Congratulations again
  • Enjoy your space
  • Can’t wait to visit
