GATEFOLD PENCIL CARD

PENCIL CARD

Here's a different way to use Regal's new DL gatefold card.

Add a little paper to the front two panels and cut the tops to points, to make pencils!!  I didn't use templates, just stuck the paper on "extra large" and trimmed it back to fit.  I randomly cut one edge of the the main colour to look as if the pencil had been sharpened, and used a 10c piece to get a rounded bottom on the tip.

The pencil paper on the back panel is by Kaiser and I've onlycut around the very top of the pencils before sticking it on.  The band is made from the other side of the same paper (including the bottom margin).  The "buckle" is a gold circle cut with a nesting die, with a smaller circle (still using the same sheet of decorative paper) within.

This would be a fun card to give to a child with a little packet of real colouring pencils inside, and perhaps a sketch book or colouring book , or even a pack of blank cards and a Bright Ideas Pack as a present!  Older children could make the card themselves.
