Day 142: Sparkle Dragonfly Notecard

using inspiration from the Stampington Take Ten magazine, i created a notecard using some craft supplies i received in an Swap-bot Inspiration Kit swap.

here's some of the supplies i received:

Inspire Me Kit

Inspire Me Kit

i love swapping supplies. i send stuff i've had in my stash for a while and haven't used... and i receive some very fun and random goodies to inspire me! like they say, your trash may be somebody else's treasure?

so i found a fun and simple card to make in the Take Ten magazine... and used the sparkly dragonfly sticker and a paper tag from the swap package...
and made this!

not exactly perfect, since my color scheme is a bit off... but i'm working through my paper stash... and nobody really looks that hard at the cards you send anyways. hahaha...

here's how i made it:
  1. cut the top flap of the card shorter than the bottom and rounded the corners
  2. lined the bottom inside flap with patterned paper
  3. punched circles out of patterned paper and adhered them to the bottom right corner of the top flap
  4. cut a strip of plain paper to fit the length of the card and adhered it on top of the circles (lining it up to cover the circles half way)
  5. punch a hole in the card above the circles (in the plain paper strip) to attach the tag using a brad
  6. add dragonfly sticker to the top left corner of the card
DONE!
