Get set for some artsy card-making fun! With this DIY, you’ll create a playful and unique card full of colours and patterns you can design yourself. Whether you want to surprise someone with a personal card or just enjoy some crafting time, this project is perfect for unleashing your creativity. Grab your brushes, pick your favourite colours, and let’s get started!
1
Use a sturdy double card for this DIY to prevent it from warping with the paint. Draw various shapes on the card, varying the sizes. Let some of the shapes overlap for a fun and playful effect.
2
Take a brush and fill in the shapes with acrylic paint. Make sure the paint covers well. If one layer isn’t enough, don’t worry; just add another coat until the shapes really stand out.
3
Choose contrasting colours that really pop! Try matte shades, metallic copper, and bright neon pink. This will make the shapes jump off the card!
4
Fill a small bottle with a fine tip with diluted acrylic paint (for this you mix the paint with a bit of water). This makes it easier to add smooth lines and fine details.
5
Give the card a playful look with lines, dots, or other patterns you like. Experiment with contrasting colours for extra flair and let your imagination run wild—you can really go in any direction.
6
Add some glossy finish to parts of your card for a shiny look. This gives it that little extra something!
7
Tip: Did your card warp a bit after drying? No worries, it’s easy to fix! Let the paint dry completely first, then lightly moisten the card with a cloth or spray bottle (but not too wet!). Place the card unfolded between some sheets of paper and put a heavy book on top. Leave it for a day, and voilà, your card is nice and straight again!
