Step out of the ordinary by making a fun shaped card with a big red bow. Use whatever type of scrapbook paper and ribbon you prefer.

Directions:

Print out template onto white cardstock. Cut out pieces.

Cut out piece #1 and fold along dotted line.
Note: If you don’t want the outline to be visible, then you can trace piece #1 on sheet of cardstock with a pencil. Cut out piece and erase any visible pencil marks. Fold in half to form a card.

Cut out piece #2 and trace onto scrapbook paper, then cut out from scrapbook paper.

Use rubber cement to glue scrapbook paper to the front of the card. Set card aside.

To make the ribbon tails, cut a piece of ribbon that is 7″ long. Fold in half, forming a “V” shape. Place a small amount of glue in the fold so that it holds its shape. Set aside.

To make the bow, begin forming loops of the bow (working from the spool of ribbon), gluing after each addition, so that it remains in place. I formed the center loop first, then the loops next to the center loop, and finally, the loops on the outside. (See photo after step #9 to see how the finished loops should look.)

When finished constructing bow, cut ribbon from spool.

Cut a piece of ribbon that is 1.5″ long. Overlap ends, and glue together.
