It's Spiderman!...

I had all kinds of cardmaking fun with these cards. First, I found a free clipart image of a web on a red background. I actually printed it onto red cardstock to make sure I had good coverage and an intense red. If you don't have a color printer, you could draw or stamp a web(s) onto red cardstock.

After cutting the web image into a panel and adhering it to a blue A2 card base, I die-cut a couple of white hearts. I cut each heart in half--right down the center--and glued each half onto some black cardstock. I carefully fussy-cut a narrow black border around each piece.

The sentiment words were printed with my computer, fussy-cut and popped up on thin foam strips. 

I cut the numbers from blue and white cardstock and stacked them, off-setting them just a bit so that the white showed through. I chose to make these cards for a 5- and 6-year-old, because I thought that age group would love to receive a Spiderman card.

The numbers and the eyes were glued directly to the card front.

I added a computer-generated sentiment on the inside.

This card could be made with no dies at all. Just draw 1/2 a heart onto a folded piece of cardstock and fussy-cut it out, splitting it down the middle. Then mat each piece with black as I have done.

Use number stickers instead of die-cut numbers.  And remember you can color or recolor stickers with Sharpies or other markers if you need to.

Use your computer to print the sentiments, or print them by hand.

Most of all, have fun making them!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
