Hey, everyone! Roree here with another Make It! Monday project. Today I am sharing a card I created with a fun tie closure.
First, I started with an 8 1/2 x 11″ piece of cardstock, my paper trimmer, and a scoring blade.
I scored the one end of the cardstock panel at the 3 1/2″ mark.
I turned the panel and scored the other end at the 2″ mark.
I then folded the ends in towards the center of the card.
I wanted the flaps to look like tags, so I trimmed off each of the corners.
I decorated the outside flaps with patterned paper from Echo Park Paper Co.‘s Party Time 6×6 Paper Pad and punched a hole at the end of each flap.
I then decorated the inside of the card with more patterned paper, stickers from the Party Time Element and Alpha Sticker sheets, and a few epoxy stickers.
I added a couple of eyelets to the punched holes, threaded them with gingham ribbon, added a tag using more stickers from the Element and Alpha Sticker sheets, and tied a bow to finish the card.
A fun take on a standard A2-sized card, don’t you think?
I hope you enjoyed today’s Make It! Monday project. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Really cool card!! What width did you trim your paper to. It sort of looks like 4.5. Is that correct? Thanks.
Thanks, Mary! The card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″ finished. The cardstock was cut to 4 1/4 x 11″. The patterned paper on the front and on the inside was cut to 4 x 5 1/4″. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the tip. Looking for a third card that is different for a class coming up.
Your very welcome, Mary!
Much thanks! This a incredible site!.
