I’ve got a shabby chic card for today’s Sunday Cardmaking post – and it is very easy. It’s for a friend that loves all things shabby chic.
Let me walk you through the process. It’s not hard at all!
Directions for a shabby chic card:
I started with an 8.5 x 11″ sheet of cardstock from My Favorite Things and cut a strip 5.5 x 11″ and folded it in half. A piece of patterned Authentique paper sized 5.25″ square was added. I placed some plain cardstock on a Wacky Tape Sheet and die cut a star. The star was then glittered with some Clearsnap gold glitter. I adhered the large snowflake and glittered star and button with 3 in 1 Craft Glue.
I gathered the fibers and ribbons. I cinched them together with Wild White Buttons and Rustic Coconut Shell Buttons using some twine. I punched two small holes in the cardstock behind each button, and tied the ribbon to the card. The rest of the embellishments were adhered using 3 in 1 Craft Glue and Memory Book Dot ‘n Go glue dots.
Once everything was dry, I placed the card, along with a few small gifts, in a bubble mailer. It’s a little late for Christmas, but it’s a nice winter card, too. Don’t you think?

Oooh LA LA!!! Love Shabby Chic!!! Love the background paper … reminiscent of old BINGO cards or SCRABBLE letters … or for some reason makes me think of my Grandma’s spreadsheets from their John Deere Tractor business in the 1960’s when I was a kid :)
