Skill Level: Easy

What You Need

• white card stock cut 5 ½” x 8 ½”
• white card stock cut 1” square
• white card stock cut ¼” by ½”
• yellow cardstock 2” x 5 ½” and 1 ¼” x 1 ¼”
• 6” of 1” wide navy satin ribbon
• Star of David stamp
• blue stamp pad
• yellow stamp pad or marker
• adhesive such as double-sided sticky tape scissors

What You Do

• Fold largest piece of white cardstock in half.
• Tear about ¼”- ½” off the edge of the yellow strip.
• Glue ribbon on yellow strip, wrapping the raw edges in behind.
• Stamp the star on the white square.
• Glue the white stamped square on the gold one.
• Glue the square and the ribbon strip on the card front.
• Stamp, write or print off a word or phrase such as “Shalom” or “Happy Hanukkah” on the ¼” x ½” cardstock. Use a yellow marker or ink pad to lightly go around the edges of the paper. This gives it a bit of definition.
• Run a navy stamp pad or marker over the spine of the card.

Helpful Hints

• To perfectly center your image on a square, stamp on a larger piece of card stock then trim to the required size.
• Blank white cards and envelopes are available at office supply stores.
• Use a glue stick or glue tabs on the ribbon, because liquid glue often makes a ribbon look rippled.

Quick switch : To make this card into a gift tag, just use a 2 ½” x 4 ¼” piece of white cardstock.
