Floppy Disc Card

Description

A dark brown single fold greetings card is covered with a sheet of decorative paper with the repeated message Best Wishes. This sheet covers the whole of the back and two-thirds of the front. A silver square has an inner white square and four floppy disc stickers.

Materials used

• Dark brown single fold greetings card 144 mm (5½ in) square
• Decorative paper from Kanban with silver Best Wishes words
• Linen silver card
• White card
• Sticker with floppy discs
• Card adhesive or double-sided self adhesive tape
• Self-adhesive mini foam pads

Method

Lay a sheet of Kanban silver Best Wishes paper face down on your work surface. Lay your opened greetings card over this and mark the size of the card with a fine pencil. Adjust the length of the paper so that when it is folded around the greetings card it will cover about two-thirds of the front. Cut the paper to size.

Mount the Kanban paper on the card by applying a strip of card adhesive or double-sided self adhesive tape on the back of the greetings card alongside the folded edge.

Cut a 60 mm (2½ ins) square of linen silver card. Cut a smaller square of white card. Mount the white card on the silver card with adhesive. Add four floppy disc stickers using the illustration as a guide.

Mount the square in position with self-adhesive mini foam pads. This forms a bridge between the card and the decorative paper, holding it in place.
