Show your loved ones they're sweeter than pumpkin pie by making this cute handmade card. The cuts give the pie slice a nice dimension, and a bit of twisted cotton ball makes for fluffy whipped cream!
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 1 card
Supplies:
- white card stock
- scissors
- craft paper (orange and brown)
- pens and markers (yellow and brown)
- glue
- 1 cotton ball
Steps:
- Cut a piece of card stock to the desired size of your card base.
- Cut out a triangle from the orange craft paper sheet, a bit smaller than your card base.
- Let's start giving the pie some angles. Snip off the tip of the triangle.
- Take your yellow pen and draw a line from the top of the new cut horizontally across to the other side.
- Now cut the tiny triangle off from under this line so your 2 sides are parallel.
- Shave off a bit of the top angle to make it more realistic.
- Put the orange paper on top of a piece of brown paper and cut it so it's just a bit bigger on the bottom edge and left edge. This will be the pie crust. Glue it on.
- Draw vertical lines going down the side of the pie with your yellow pen.
- Cut out a squiggly shape from the brown paper to make the thick edge pie crust. Glue it on. Now glue the whole slice onto the card base.
- I took the fine point side of my yellow pen and embossed lines over the previous yellow lines. This gave it nice dimensions. You can do the same with a toothpick or dry pen (or something similar).
- Write your message around the pie.
- To make your whipped cream, rip off about 1/2 of the cotton ball and twist it into a little pile. Larger at the bottom, smaller at the top. Glue it onto the pie.
