Hello...It's me...I was wondering if you wanted a new card tutorial. I was inspired to make this card after walking the wonderful paper aisle at Hobby Lobby. I saw the 'hello' 'what's up' paper and instantly thought of a greeting card. I saw the cheetah print paper and decided to pair it together and this is the result. I had a couple different ideas for this card that didn't work out, but I was happy with the end result! I hope you enjoy!

wHAT YOU DO:
1. Use paper cutter to cut a sheet of 8.5" x 11" cream paper into a 5" x 5" folding card. (Cut paper 10" x 5" and fold in half)
2. Cut a 3¾" circle from the center of the card with the circle cutter.
3. Cut a 5" x 5" square from the cheetah paper and attach it on the front of the card with adhesives. Then use scissors to cut out the circle.
4. Trace a 3¾" circle onto the 'hello' paper, then use paper cutter to cut it into a square. Trim out the circle and tape it to the inside of the card.
5. Use circle cutter to cut a 4¼” circle from the glitter paper, then cut a 3” circle in the center of the glitter circle. Attach the glitter circle with adhesives to the front of the card.
6. Cut a 5” x 5" pink square and attach it to the inside of the card.
7. Use circuit (Plantin Schoolbook) to cut hello letters from the same pink paper. I set the size dial to 2". Use spatula to remove letters from the mat.
8. Run the letters through the Xyron sticker maker and rub the letters before peeling off the top film.
9. Attach the hello letters to the front of the card
10. Use circuit to cut a heart from cheetah paper (size = 1¾") and attach it to the pink paper and trim around it. Attach the heart with adhesives to the inside of the card, bottom right corner.
With a quick ten steps and multiple paper you can create a decorative layered greeting card to send to a friend or family member. I hope you try this out!
