Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi crafty friends! Let's make a cute and colorful card fit for your favorite crafter.

You will need:

• Embroidery Hoop Embellishments
• Embossing Powder
• Embossing Ink
• 4 1/4in x 5 1/2in piece of solid cardstock
• 2 1/8in x 5 1/2in piece of patterned cardstock
• Die cuts or stickers
• Glue and Foam Adhesive
• Acetate/Clear Plastic
• Sentiment

First, grab the Embroidery Hoop Embellishments. You will only need one for this card. 

Heat emboss your embroidery hoop. I used yellow for the body of the hoop and gold at the top to highlight the metal pieces of an embroidery hoop. If you do not want to heat emboss, you can simply paint the hoop or use a medium like Nuvo drops.

Adhere your acetate to the back and remove the excess from around the embroidery hoop.

Layer your die cuts/stickers along the bottom left of the hoop. Be strategic to cover any imperfections in your embossing powder application. Add foam tape when layering pieces to create dimension.

Now, let's work on the card front. Adhere the patterned cardstock strip to one side of solid cardstock. You should create a split card front. If you would like to take things a step further, consider stitching around the panel as I did. However, this is optional.

Align your hoop in the center of your panel and adhere it down. Finally, adhere this completed panel to the card base and there you have a completed card. 

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial. If you choose to recreate this card, please be sure to share it in the Clear Scraps Creative FB group and tag me!
