A Gem of a Card!

Here's a simple card that anyone can make. You can easily jazz up a card using some gemstones (Hero Arts has a good selection, but other companies have similar products).

Here's how to make this card:

1. Stamp the Sprinkle Cupcake from Hero Arts on white cardstock with brown ink. Stamp message underneath, also in brown ink.

2. Stamp the cupcake again on a piece of purple cardstock and cut out only the top of the cupcake. Place over the top of the cupcake that was stamped on the white cardstock using foam tape (which gives is a little dimension).

3. Add gems to the top of the cupcake.

4. Layer the white cardstock onto a piece of chocolate (dark brown) cardstock.

5. Stamp the flower border from the Hero Arts ClearDesign Flower Borders set with a rose-colored ink (something just darker than the piece of pink cardstock would work) on a piece of pink cardstock.

6. Assemble the pieces as shown in the sample on a kraft-colored notecard.

7. Tie a knot in a ribbon and then add to the card using a glue dot.

8. Add additional gems on your card as desired!

This is a really fun card to make!
