Making Your Own Cards Using Templates

The following are all templates to use as elements in making your own cards. To make these, you will need paper crafting supplies such as:

• Card stock
• Cutting board
• Rotary cutter (not necessary but extremely helpful)
• Scrapbooking paper in a variety of colors
• Scrapbooking notions (optional)

Templates for Basic Shapes

Templates for design elements within a card are also available. A giant circle here, or a square framed photo there and you have a card that’s uniquely you. To use these templates:

• Print the page on card stock. (You can print on regular paper but will find it easier to use if the template is stiff.)
• Select the size shape you want to use and cut it out. If you want to use several shapes as a repeating design element, create your largest shapes first and then cut to the next size.
• Transfer your circle onto card making paper.

Doing this will allow you to use several sizes from the same template.

• Circle Template

• Circle Template in eight segments

• Spiral Template

• Stars Template

• Triangle Template

Templates for Whole Cards

Print templates for whole cards on card stock and then use them to design the entire card. If you want to design the card with scrapbook paper, follow these steps:

• Print the card on regular printing paper.
• Cut the card out.
• Layer the card on top of your scrapbooking paper, trace along the edges and then cut the card out.
• With the printed template laying directly on top of the scrapbook paper, fold according to the directions.

Doing this will yield a unique background for your card.

• Tri-fold Pull out Card

• Triangle Card

• Center Tie Card

• Triangular Tied Card
