Today I am going to give you some ideas on how to make a Bra Card! This is an idea from a long time ago and I haven’t seen it recently. I thought it might be fun to bring up the idea again with it being October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
To make the card base, fold paper in half and place Heart Framelit Die (I used the second largest die). The Heart Framelit Die is retired now but if you already own it you can use it or at least it will give you the idea! You can make your own heart shape just out of paper and trace around it. Anyway, leave the fold at the top untouched so that the card will open.
Next, cut a similar piece just out of one layer of card stock which will become the actual bra piece or at least the template if you want to keep it to make more.
With this piece, I folded it in half and then contoured it just freehand with my scissors in the bra shape I wanted. Nothing scientific about this, you know they come in lots of shapes so you can make it wide or narrow or straight or rounded, however you want. I used this piece for a template to cut out the pink card stock.
On the pink card stock, I stamped with Versamark the flourish from Everything Eleanor and then embossed with Stampin’ White Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool to look lacy. And I added a bit of Venetian Crochet Trim for a bit of lace. For the straps, I just cut two thin scraps. For the necklace, I drew on a silver chain with a Sharpie and added a Rhinestone Jewel.
You can make these bra cards with designer paper or plain card stock blinged up with rhinestones or pearls or embossing, both heat and with the Big Shot folders or with stamping a design. So many creative choices! Glue it on a larger card if you prefer!
