Using adhesive-backed vinyl on cards...

I recently purchased a sheet of adhesive-backed vinyl at the Dollar Tree. I liked the colors and design of it, so for $1.25, I thought I'd give it a try.

The vinyl cut easily with my guillotine cutter. I simply cut it to size and then, after peeling the backing off, I added it to two navy blue cardstock panels.

The background of the vinyl doesn't look as white as the cardbase in these photos, but it's a much better match in real life.

I embossed a strip of vellum and wrapped it around my panel before I adhered the panel to the card front. I popped the stamped sentiment up on top of this strip and added a die-cut butterfly with an enamel dot at its center.

On this card, I added a strip of navy blue cardstock across the front and popped my sentiment up on that.

Once again, I added a butterfly, popping its wings up with tiny foam dots.

I stamped a sentiment on the inside and added a smaller butterfly for embellishment.

This card was made a little differently. It's a top-fold card with a decorative die-cut front edge. I added the vinyl directly to the card front and finished the bottom edge of it with a strip of navy blue cardstock.

I cut two small tags--one in white and one in navy blue. I stamped the white one with a sentiment and connected them with navy blue twine, tied in a bow.

I popped them both up on a narrow strip of foam tape.

I added a strip of navy blue cardstock to the bottom of the inside because it would show through the decorative edge on the front. I also rounded the two bottom corners to better fit with the card front.

I still have some vinyl left to make two or three more cards. It's surprisingly easy to work with.

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