I am making cards for my stash and in cleaning up a packed box I found several of these paper backers which I created when I first designed these cards. It involves printing two lines that intersect with a greeting on the bottom right side of a white backer. I went looking for some bright decorative paper to create my "flower". I cut four 1" squares from the paper I chose and corner rounded two corners on each square before gluing them to the backers. I cornered rounded two corners of the backers and glued it to a card front that coordinated with my decorative paper squares. These are quick and easy cards that can be made for any occasion and combine nicely for a set of cards for gift giving. And, everyone can use a few cards for sending out to their friends and family. I did add a rhinestone to the intersection of the lines which nicely finishes off the flower. The first two have scrapbook paper, the pink one uses scraps from a used commercial card and the last one uses an alcohol ink background which I stamped with a flower and embellished with clear glitter gel pen.
