Choose a card design
The first card is a simple fold card. This card is easy to make and only requires a few basic crafting supplies.
Start by folding a piece of cardstock in half. Then, cut a piece of paper that is slightly smaller than the front of the card. This will be used to create the front of the card. Next, cut a piece of cardstock to use as the inside of the card. This piece should be slightly smaller than the paper you just cut.

Now, take the cardstock and fold it in half again. This will create the card base. Next, take the piece of paper you cut for the front of the card and glue it to the card base. Then, take the piece of cardstock you cut for the inside of the card and glue it to the paper. You can now decorate the card as desired! You may stamp images on it, add die-cuts, heat or dry emboss, stick washi tapes or stickers, etc.
This card design is perfect for beginners because it only requires a few supplies and is easy to make. If you want to add a little more interest to the card, you can try using patterned paper or adding embellishments.
How to Create a Layered Shaker Card
The next card design is a shaker card. Start by cutting a piece of cardstock to the desired size. Then, cut a piece of acetate that is slightly smaller than the cardstock. This will be used to create the shaker element of the card. Next, take a piece of cardstock and cut it into a rectangle. This will be used as the base of the card.
Now, take the cardstock rectangle and fold it in half. Then, take the piece of acetate or vellum and glue it to the card base. Next, take the cardstock you cut for the shaker element and glue it to the acetate. You can now decorate the card as desired. If you don’t have gems or sequins, you can use glitter, paper scraps, and other tiny leftover pieces you have in your stash.
