MAKE IT EASY: CARD WITH A BLING MAGNET


Don't know if this is a card with a magnet or a magnet with a card. Whatever it is, it's speedy, speedy, speedy, and bling lovers will flip when they get it. A beaded embellishment that's normally stitched (or glued) on clothing provides the glitz. Fabric stores have them, usually in the trims department.
Apply Black Ink gold textured paper to the front of a 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" magnet (business card size) with Grafix Double Tack. Burnish to secure the bond. Spray acrylic varnish on the paper; allow to dry and apply a second coat.
Apply Double Tack to the back of the embellishment; trim the adhesive to the embellishment. Center the embellishment on the gold paper and apply pressure to secure the bond.
Apply Double Tack to the front of card stock that has been scored to form a card; position Back Ink purple unyru paper with gold threads on the adhesive and trim to the card stock. Burnish to secure the papers; fold along the scored line.
Apply a small amount of Leeho 2 in 1 Glue Marker (or another brand of repositionable glue) to the center of the card front; allow to dry to a tacky state. Position the magnet on the glue; press lightly. Don't forget to tell the recipient to remove the magnet from the front of the card.
Fun to give and fun to get!
