Explore Card

This project is a nice, quick and easy project to get your creative juices flowing. I included a supply list, but you can tailor this project to just about ANY paper line…

Supplies:

We R Memory Keepers Theme Set – Explore
Prism Cardstock – Papaya Puree
We R Memory Keepers Designer Eyelets and Snaps -- Explore
Colorbox Fluid Chalk – Dark Brown (This is a staple for me -
I use this on EVERYTHING)
Paper Punches (optional)
Aryclic Stamps (optional)
Crop a Dile or Crop a Dile Big Bite

Directions:

1. Cut a 8.5” x 5.25”piece of cardstock. Score in the middle of the 8.5” side and fold in half.
2. Cut out a 4” x 5” piece of patterned paper. I used the “Trunk” patterned paper in the MemoryWorks Explore kit:

3. Cut a 1.5” x 4” piece of solid colored patterned paper. Tear the long edges of this piece of paper. I used the blue backside of the “Trunk” patterned paper.
4. Ink edges of all papers and orange cardstock.
5. Adhere solid strip of paper to patterned paper as shown.

6. Punch or cut a 1.5” circle. You can even just cut a square of the same size with your trimmer. Ink edges.
7. Adhere the circle to strip as shown (this helps with the eyelet positioning).


8. Get the snap or eyelet of your choice and line it up in the middle of your circle (or square). Press down lightly (this is how I mark the spot for my hole).
9. Punch hole and set embellishment with Crop A Dile tool.

10. Adhere to orange cardstock.

You can leave the card like it is, or embellish it further with stamps, bling, or flowers…. Sometimes a small project is all you need to get inspired to do layouts and other projects. You can even alter this project to fit the needs of a workshop or class very economically since it can be tailored to fit just about
any paper kit.
