- Once you have the cactus printable printed out, grab your paper trimmer to trim out one of the designs, so it will fit on the front of the cardstock card.
- Now grab your pre-folded cardstock card & glue stick.
- Glue the cactus design cutout to the front your folded card.
- Now grab your mini green cupcake liner and flatten it out with your hands.
- Use a glue stick to glue that piece right above the flower pot design.
- Next grab your black Sharpie marker and draw dotted “spikes” ALL over the green cupcake liner.
- Finally – we are at the end of the tutorial! To finish the cupcake liner cactus card, go ahead and add your flower & wiggle eyes to bring the cactus to life.
- Last step – write a message inside the card and add anything else you see fit!
- Well done – it looks SHARP! Now drop it in the mail for the lucky receiver to enjoy!
- Don’t forget to use the second design in the printable {with the same steps as above} to make another card to drop in the mail today!
