Materials List:
  1. My Mind's Eye: "So Sweet" Theme Set (MME021)
  2. My Mind's Eye: Brown Ribbon (Wild Asparagus Theme Set)
  3. Imagination Project: Raw Circle Coasters (IP015)
  4. We R Memory Keepers: "Family" Designer Eyelets (WR043)
  5. Heidi Swapp: Sandpaper (HS055)
Optional Materials:
  • Letter Stickers or Rub-Ons
  • Nine 1x1.5" photos (You could use the thumbnail images from your index prints, or small pieces of patterned paper, stickers, or embellishments.)

Instructions:
  1. Cut 6"x12" piece from Blue/Brown stripe paper and fold in half to make 6"x6" card (or cut 6"x6" piece and glue to front of a blank 6"x6" card), blue side facing out.
  2. Adhere 3 3/4" coaster circle to bottom right of card front, approx. 1/4- 1/2 inches from bottom and right edges.
  3. Cut two 6" strips from ribbon. Adhere vertical ribbon first, with the right edge of ribbon 2 inches from the card's right edge.
  4. Poke a hole in the other piece of ribbon 2 1/4" inches from one end. Set the green enamel eyelet through this hole. Adhere ribbon with its bottom edge 1-1 1/4 inches from bottom of card, aligning eyelet with vertical ribbon.
  5. Lay out pictures in a "dry run" (don't glue yet), then adhere row by row in straight lines as follows: Start with the top right corner, aligning this picture approx. 1/2" from the top and right edges. Fill in the rest of the photos in straight rows, keeping a 1/4" border between pictures and a 1/2" border around the edge of the card.
  6. Evenly place 8 rhinestones around the green eyelet to form a circle.
  7. Use letter stickers or rub-ons to add title to the card. When using letter stickers gently sand them with sandpaper while they're still on the sticker sheet for an easy, distressed look.
  8. Write your birthday greeting inside.
  9. Remember that 6"x6" cards require extra postage at the post office if you mail it!
