Create Beautiful Cards: Creative Memories Natural Elegance Scrapbooking Collection

Cards.

There is so much sentiment and meaning behind a card.

There is even more if you create the card yourself!

It doesn’t have to be difficult.  (…and, really it is not!)

Start with a card base.  I usually use cardstock for this, so that it is sturdy.

Layer on a few stickers or embellishments, and WAAAA-LA!  You have yourself a beautiful card!  Personally, I believe that layering is the key to beauty when making a card. Use those foam squares between each layer!  Just take a look at the dimension.

To create the cards below, you will need:

• Natural Elegance Paper Pack
• Natural Elegance Embellishments
• Natural Elegance Stickers
• Natural Elegance Slide-Ins
• Hello Baby Cardstock 
• Custom Cutting System-Circles
• 12″ Straight Trimmer 
• Pink ABC/123 Stickers
• Foam Squares
