Simple Sticker Cards

I never seem to have a card when I need one—and when you’re in the business of making things, stopping at Hallmark generally isn’t an acceptable solution. My friends and loved ones have grown used to receiving little handmade goodies, and are disappointed when I show up with anything store bought. What’s a busy girl to do?

Well, in my case, I designed a line of stickers that make up into lovely cards!
To make your own card in a hurry, you’ll need:

  • A half sheet of cardstock. I used black for these cards.

  • A set of stickers. For these samples, I used the Harry Clarke Set.


Position a large background sticker on the card, set away from the edge about 1/4″.

Add a border strip about 1/2″ above the background sticker.

Turn the card over, and trim away the excess stickers.

Apply a focal image sticker on the front side of the card.

That’s it—you’re finished!

If you’d rather make an ATC, you’ll need:

  • A piece of cardstock cut to ATC size, 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches.

  • A sticker set.
  • A faux postage stamp. I used one from the Harry Clarke sheet.

Position a background sticker on the card.

Add a border sticker.

Trim.

Glue the faux postage stamp on the front of the card.

Here are a couple of cards made using the Fire Sticker Set, and some Japanese text pages.

  3. This is great for those times when I need a card and I’m not inspired, so I procrastinate. With your stickers I can make something that looks great but is quick and easy. Thanks, Lisa - you are a peach.
