Sugar Plum Card
Tuesday, November 19, 2002

Supplies per card:

  • 1 sheet of gray parchment card stock
  • 1 8" x 3 5/8" envelope- plum colored
  • 1 4 3/8" x 5 ¾" plum envelope
  • Glue stick
  • Straight edge
  • Small photo
  • Scissors
  • Iridescent glitter
  • Gold or purple ink pen
  • Verse see below
Instructions:
 1. Fold cardstock over long envelope. Mark edge so that the width of the card is slightly narrower than the envelope insuring the card will fit inside. Using your straight edge, tear away the excess paper from card.
 2. Open flap of envelope and place the card inside the flap so that there are even amounts of gray showing on each end. Mark the envelope edge smaller than the gray card and tear away the excess envelope edge using the straight edge.
 3. Now use the envelope glue to adhere the back flap to the back of the card and use the glue stick to adhere the front of the envelope to the card.
 4. Tear excess gray card stock smaller than the plum rectangle on your card and glue into place.
 5. Cut out the verse provided and glue.
 6. Cut out a plum shape and then cut the center out of that, creating a frame. Now cut a school picture to fit.
 7. Glue the picture to the card, then the plum over top.
 8. Use white glue to create frosted areas on the plum and around the verse. Then use glue to draw pine needles from corner of card.
 9. Apply glitter to glue, let dry.
10. Cut out Happy holidays for inside and another smaller plum. Glue inside.
11. Use glue and glitter to trim the text and plum, adding pine needles if desired. Let dry
12. Use hole punch to create trim at the top and bottom of card.
13. Short cut: complete the card except applying the glitter. Go have color copies made at the local copy shop and then just embellish with glitter after they are printed. This methods is much less time consuming and still has that hand made touch! Have fun! DAZ
