Difficulty Level: Beginner

You Will Need:

• A plain white card (C6)
• Purple glitter glue
• Carbon paper
• A pen

Steps For Making This Home Made Card Idea ...

1. On your computer: Open a word processing package up (like Word) and type out 'diva'. Select a font you like - I used a handwriting style font. Adjust the size of the font (so that it will fit on your card with enough space either side) and then print it out.

Tip: Don't like the fonts on your computer? Download some fonts and install them in the 'Fonts' folder in your 'Control Panel' (Windows).

2. Transfer: Get your card and place the carbon paper on top of it (face down). Then place your 'diva' print-out over the top. Make sure it's positioned correctly on the card and then draw over the 'diva' word with a pen. Alternatively, you can just copy the font style (freehand) onto your card with a pencil.
3. Glitter glue: Carefully trace over the word on your card with purple glitter glue. Apply a thin layer of glitter glue, wait for it to dry, and touch up with a second layer if need be.
4. Let it dry.
