Quick and Easy Alternatives • Old-fashioned sealing wax adds nostalgia to this card Cut
a sheet of green stationery in half. Fold a slightly smaller piece of
handmade paper in thirds. Glue this to the green piece. Glue a piece of
gold mesh ribbon to the center of the flap. Start gluing the green
ribbon under the flap. Wrap it around the card and glue to top of flap
leaving a tail. Cut in inverted “V”. Hot-glue a loop of pearls on top
of the ribbon and drip sealing wax on this. Stamp wax with an initial
seal to personalize.
• Form a paper doily cone to fill with fragrance
Make
a cone from a 4" round paper doily. Place rose petals on a small white
circle of tulle. Gather up and tie with thread or ribbon and glue into
the doily. Glue doily to a piece of pink corrugated paper that has been
cut with fancy-edged scissors. Glue the pink corrugated piece to the
ivory card stock and then onto a piece of the folded pink stationery.
Tie a wire-edged ribbon into a bow and then glue to the doily cone.
• Corner-punched edges make this card unique
Create fancy edges on simple card stock using a corner punch (available at craft stores in various designs). Glue these corner-
punched
pieces together. Fold the green paper in half and cut pieces of pink
and ivory papers slightly smaller than the green stationery; glue these
pieces together. Glue the layered, corner-punched pieces to this and
top with a floral sticker, a ribbon bow and a heart charm.
