Sugar Kissed Altered Playing Card Tutorial

Hello Friends, Today I am showing you how I made this Altered playing card.

First Start by printing this vintage sewing pattern and cutting out the two little girls.

Then print on heavy paper and cut this oversized playing card. If you want it to look more like a real playing card you can use a corner rounder punch for the edges.

Take a wooden spool which you can find at craft stores or you can use a vintage spool. The spool used for this tutorial is 1 1/2 inches. Cut a 1 inch circle of patterned paper to cover the top of your spool.

At this point if you want to add patterned paper to your playing card, you should add it now. I used paper that was from Hobby Lobby in their open stock section.

Glue your little girls onto the playing card using pop dots to make them stand out. Glitter around the edges of your card.
I also glittered a paper flower and added pink pearls to which I then glued in the upper corner. You can use a sticker or print "T'was the Night Before Christmas" or "Christmas Morning" and glue to your card.

The spool is covered using a 1inch strip of cardstock wrapped around it. I then added a strip of ribbon around it and tied a bow.

I cut a small wooden dowel and glued down into the spool. I added a strip of glue up the dowel and glued it to the back of my playing card. I then added tape to hold in place until the glue was completely dry.

And this is how it turned out! The possibilities are endless with this idea. I hope you like it and will try it!

Have a great Saturday, Lindsey
