- Once you have the snail printable printed out, grab your paper trimmer to trim out one of the snail designs, so it will fit on the front of the cardstock card.
- Now grab a sheet of colored cardstock paper.
- Fold it in half to make a simple card.
- Next go ahead and glue the snail cutout to the front your folded card.
- Now grab your mini cupcake liner and flatten it out with your hands.
- Use a glue stick to glue that piece to the body of the snail in the card design.
- Finally – we are at the end of the tutorial! To finish the cupcake liner snail card, go ahead and add a large heart sticker to the center of the cupcake liner, as well as small ones all around the snail design. This way you really tie the “snail mail love” theme together.
- Last step – write a message inside the card and add anything else you see fit!
- Well done – you SNAILED it! Now drop it in the mail for the lucky receiver to enjoy!
