Cardmaking, next to scrapbooking, was the paper craft that got me hooked to crafts and the DIY lifestyle.
When I started skipping greeting card racks at bookstores in favor of making my own cards, I was truly amazed with what a pair of scissors, glue, a couple of packs of cardstock -- plain and printed -- and embellishments can do.
And as a crafter, I'm constantly looking for ways to deviate from my comfort zone. So before the year ended, I attempted a challenge: I turned a scrapbook template into a greeting card.

The template above fits a 6" x 6", 8" x 8", 12" x 12", or 24" x 24" sheet of scrapbook cardstock. To suit a birthday card with a portrait orientation, I cut a 12cm circle out of a plaid, 6" x 6" sheet of scrapbook paper.
I then used a black, felt-tip pen to draw 2 pumpkins, leaves, and the rustic HAPPY BIRTHDAY greeting, and cut them. Finally, I glued everything together.
Materials used:
- yellow cardstock from Orange Vellum Board for the base of the card
- orange cardstock for the pumpkins
- 6" x 6" plaid scrapbook paper from DIY boitique
- Sharpie black felt-tip pen
