Monster Greeting Card


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 293 Posts

finished cardI've been trying to think of a way to use up a few of those bread tabs I keep saving. Well I decided to make a card for my little boy. It brought a big smile to his face and he loved it, so I was happy! :) This is very easy and inexpensive to make!

Total Time: Half hour

Yield: 1 card

Supplies:

Supplies for making the Monster card.
 

Steps:

  1. Fold your large piece of card stock in half.
  2. A folded piece of paper.
     
  3. Using your ruler, make a line on the corner so that you can cut a triangle.
  4. Using a ruler to draw a straight line.
     
  5. Make 2. Mine are 5 1/2" long at widest point, 2 1/2" tall.
  6. Two paper triangles.

  7. Glue your first triangle at the top of your card. I actually used a glue gun for this. This may be a no-no for the real scrap-bookers, but it worked fine for this. Glue the second triangle directly below.
  8. Two paper triangles glued to the front of the folded paper card.
     
  9. Hot glue a big google eye on your first bread tab.
  10. A googly eye and bread tie decoration.
     
  11. Glue it to your card.
  12. A googly eye monster on the front of a card.
     
  13. Here's the second.

  17. So far.
  18. Googly eye monsters on the front of a card.
     
  19. And the rest, hard to believe a bread tab can actually look cute, huh? :)

  21. Now I used a cheap stencil ruler from the dollar store to make the words. They look cute if you angle them different directions.
  22. Googly eye monsters on the front of a card that says "You're my favorite little monster."
     
  23. I also decided to draw over every other letter with a silver Sharpie. It matched the triangles nicely.
