15 Creative Card Making Ideas

UnknownMake a personalized card for any occasion. Here are some real innovative ideas to turn scrap into a card which describes your feelings.
Use Real Flowers
Add a touch of realism to a card with pressed flowers. Make sure your flowers have lost all their moisture before using them in a project or they may turn brown. To attach the flowers use dry adhesive dots.
Stick It
Create an encouraging card with phrase stickers placed in a grid. Top it off with a simple flower detail.
Leave Your Mark
Use see-though pocket embellishments to leave your personal touch on a card. Cut a plastic slide holder into pieces attach the strips to the card. Then fill the pockets with special items such as punched hearts and stickers.
Mimic a Pattern
Find inspiration from bold patterns such as we did with a woven pillow. Mimic this pattern on a card by cutting a rectangle of card stock. Then tape down the horizontal ribbon and thread the vertical ribbon through. Use different widths and patterns to create a unique look
Take Advantage of Leftovers
Create layers from your leftover scraps paired with solid card stock. Use a bunch to cut unique shapes, then play on top of coordinating patterned paper
Use Other Objects
Fashion a cute flower shape out of safety pins. Add beads to the pins for an extra touch. To hide the glue holding the pins together, adhere a button to the center of the design.
Add a Wired Touch
Add movement to a card using wire to attach the element. Here we wrapped the moon with wire then attached the cow with coil wire so he would bounce.
Make a Quick Card
Use Dingbats font on your computer to create an inexpensive card. For a special touch add personalized metal rim tags by printing the icon on plain paper then adhere to the tag
Sew It
Personalize a thank-you card by hand-stitching ribbon in the shape of a flower. Complete the look with machine-stitched lines.
Take from Inspiration
Draw from the square pattern on this elephant to create a color-blocked pattern on your card. Coordinate colors from your from your favorite papers, then spice it up with a die cut such as the flowers we added to this card.
Use Botanical Prints
Create an elegant look by punching botanical stems in the center of a mod card. Use warm colors to emphasize this botanical look.
Stitch It
Use the pattern on the paper as a guide to create a beautiful hand-stitched look.
Cut the Details
Use precise hand-cutting techniques to create this clever card. Ink the edges to add definition to the design.
Make a Simple Design
Use stamps to create bold flowers. Punch holes on the bottom half the card to allow the negative space to show through. Top it off with a simple bow.
Use Fabric
Use fabric to add texture to your card design. We covered a card with fabric pieces then embellished by machine-stitching other fabric pieces onto the card. For an extra special touch, create a flower out of sewn together pouches.
