How to Make This Card:


{1} Cut a patterned paper based on 4x6in blank card. Leave a small space on the corners and bigger space above. Choose a pattern that describes summer. I'm using polka dots here to look more fun. Then glue it on top.

{2} Using another patterned paper, cut a smaller size compared to the first one. This time, use adhesive foam and attached it on the upper part of the card.

{3} Glue a scrap floral patterned paper and put it in the middle of the 2 other papers. This will look like a belt in between the patterned papers.

{4} Then measure a wax cord, enough that can fit on the second patterned paper. Before you glue the cord, add the small wooden clothes pin in the middle then center in on the paper. Leaving a bigger space below so you can add another paper hanging on the pin.

{5} Now that you're done with the base, lets add the embellishments. Use a scrap paper and draw a pair of small slippers. And another color for the strap. Glue them together.

{6} Then put an adhesive tape at the back. Place them on the lower right side of the card making it uneven.

{7} Now for the wordings. Use rubber stamps and create your words on a scrap paper. I used "Relax" that will be hung on the clothespin. Then "Enjoy Summer" beside the slippers. Add adhesive foam for this to match the slippers.
