Quick Steps to Create a Game Controller Shaped Card, Mini Album or Scrapbook Page Element

Crafting your own game controller themed card is simple and fun! Here’s a quick guide to get you started:

Materials Needed:

• Heavy white cardstock
• Copic markers
• Colored pencils
• White gel pen
• Metallic blue cardstock and scrap colored cardstock for small elements
• Stickles
• Game Controller Mini Album and Card Die
• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
• Math, History & Science Stamp & Die Set
• Stamp Positioner or block for stamping clear stamps
• A2 sized card base, although you can make this a truly shaped card by cutting the folded card base with the largest game controller outline die.

Steps:

1. Cut the Elements: Use the Game Controller die to cut out the main card shape from heavy white cardstock. Cut additional accent pieces from metallic blue and mirrored colored cardstock for the buttons for added flair.
2. Color and Detail: Use Copic markers and colored pencils to color the card. Add details with the white gel pen for highlights and interest.

3. Layer and Assemble: Layer the main card on top of the larger stitched die cut from metallic blue cardstock and offset to give added shadow and fun dimension. Attach the accent pieces strategically to enhance the design (see image & also placement marked by embossed impressions from die)
4. Personalize: Use stamped sentiments or handwrite a message inside to make it special for the recipient.
5. Finishing Touches: Ensure everything is securely glued, and your card is ready to dazzle!
