Welcome to the Clear Scraps blog hop!
I make a ton of Mother's Day cards every year - to give to my 2 moms and also to sell b/c it's one of the biggest holidays of the year for cards and gift. This one that I'm posting today is made from a 12x12 sheet of Clear Scraps acrylic. I cut the piece to a regular card size on my Fiskars cutter (the blade slices in just enough to score it and it snaps like drywall). Then I scored it on my Scor-Pal so it bends like a card. I made this one pretty simple but in essence, you have 4 acrylic surfaces to work with now - card front (front & back) and card inside (front & back). I used patterned paper, adhesive felt, paint, stickers and Thickers to make this simple card for Mom.
