This is the first part in a 30 part series showing you different mixed media cards that I have made. These will all include video tutorials and I am hoping that you will get some great ideas and make your own mixed media cards for all occasions.
The intention is that you can make your cards using the craft supplies that you already have at home. Take my ideas and adapt them to what you have right now.
So, let’s get started.

You will need:
- Piece of card or card blank
- Glue (simple gluestick is sufficient)
- Tissue paper
- Printable heart (free printable heart template available)
- Printable Greeting (free with heart template)
Simple Instructions
- Cut out a piece of tissue paper to cover the front of the card
- Glue it to the front of the card
- Cut out your heart template. Cut the card so that it is large enough to cover the front of your card and then cut out the heart shape.
- Glue it over the tissue paper.
- NOTE: If you want the tissue paper to stick out around the card make sure your card is smaller than the tissue paper. If you don’t want it to stick out make sure your tissue paper is hidden behind the card that has the heart cut out of it.
- Add any further embellishments like a greeting from my free printable greetings.
