Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Create a template for the fox face. Find the bottom center point of a 4 1/4" x 3 3/4" piece of cardstock. Line up a 2 1/2" circle die and trace an arc from the center point to a point about 3/4" up one side. Repeat on the opposite side. Use the markings to align the die for cutting.
-
Use the template as a guide to cut a head piece for the fox card.
-
Step 2
Add some fur texture with a white marker.
-
Step 3
Stamp and cut some flowers to embellish the card.
-
Cut and embellish some leaves as well. (For the sample, the leaves were punched and then stamped for added detail.)
-
Step 4
Cut the ears, either by hand or using nesting leaf dies.
-
Step 5
Cut a second ear piece to layer behind. Sponge the inside with white craft ink for contrast.
-
Adhere the ears at the top of the head panel. Be sure they do not extend more than 1/2” from the edge of the card so it will fit in a standard A2 envelope for mailing.
-
Step 6
Adhere the flowers and leaves to your liking around the fox’s ears.
-
Add other embellishments as desired.
-
Step 7
Cut a white card base that is 4 1/4" x 10". Score and fold at 5".
Line up the head panel for reference, and add eyes to the white card base.
TIP:
Use a circle die cut as a guide for the curve of the eyelid. -
Trace the curve with a marker and add some eyelashes using downward strokes.
-
Step 8
Layer the head panel onto the base.
-
Add a small die cut heart as a nose.
-
Step 9
Complete the card.
