Making a Surprising Flame Card: Step-by-Step Guide with Photos and Comments
In this crafting guide and all our other guides, we strive to use only materials that are available in every household or can be easily found at the nearest store. This flame card is a real eye-catcher and is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or other special occasions.
What you need for the Flame Card:
- White and colored paper or cardstock
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Pencil and markers (various colors)
- Glue stick
- Decoration materials of your choice (stickers, glitter, etc.)
Step 1:
For this magical card with a flame effect, prepare all the necessary materials: white and Kraft paper (napkin), colored markers, ruler, pencil, scissors, glue stick, and decoration elements of your choice.
Step 2:
Draw the scheme of the card on the Kraft paper with the specified dimensions. For our model, use the measurements shown in the photo. Cut out the template along the contours and fold it carefully along the lines.
Step 3:
Prepare two parts for the card: an outer decorative part with a drawing (for example, "CHEERS!!!" with festive elements) and an inner part that will be hidden beneath the top layer. Write or draw your secret message on the inner part.
Step 4:
Assemble the card by gluing the elements together in the correct order. Decorate the outer frame with colorful dots, lines, and patterns using colored markers. On the inner part, add the label "USE ME" and arrows indicating where the card should be lit.
Step 5:
The finished card looks like an ordinary card but contains a hidden message. When the recipient lights the upper paper layer at the indicated spot, it burns quickly and safely, revealing the congratulatory message or note hidden inside.
