A Blue and Black Football Greeting Card

This blank greeting card is decorated with card and paper from the Color Bar series attached with double-sided adhesive tape. Punched-out stars, ribbon, paper cord and football brads are used as decoration.


1

Cut the various pieces of paper and card to size; all the same length as the blank card but always gradually narrower in width. Attach with double-sided adhesive tape.


2

Attach double-sided adhesive tape to the back of the ribbon.


3

Adjust and attach the ribbon to the width of the greeting card. Cut off excess ribbon.


4

Draw "speed marks" on the large star and attach the football brads.


5

Attach the star onto the greeting card using 3D foam pads.


6

Use hole punch pliers for making a hole through both layers of the greeting card. Tie a cotton yarn bow through the hole.


7

Menu card: cut a 21 x 21cm piece of card from the Color Bar series. Use a bone folder or a blunt needle to score the card into three equal parts (3 x 7cm).


8

Cut three pieces of card/paper slightly smaller than 7 x 21cm and attach these to each of the three wings using double-sided adhesive tape.


9

Print a menu and attach it to the middle wing. Attach the football ribbon across the bottom of the middle wing.


10

Punch out small stars using a lever punch.


11

Attach the stars with 3D foam pads.


12

Place cards: use the large white star as a template and cut out a slightly bigger star from the dotted paper. Glue these together and attach a football brad. Write text with a calligraphy marker and attach the place card to the glass using a mini clothes peg.
