DIY Red Wine Birthday Card

Tonight we're celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday (and my dad's, but that would be another post). She's getting a few wine related gifts, so I decided to make a card on that theme.

What you need:

Scissor, glue, scalpel, tape or craft foam pads (klisterkuddar in Swedish), and a pen.
Red cardstock (and a few small pieces of other colors if you want to make the garland as well).
White cardstock, cut into the size you wish and folded in half.

How to make it:

Fold your card.
Draw a red-wine glass shape on your card and cut along the side and bottom of the cup (on the 'front page' of the card only)
Cut a similar shape out of the red cardstock, but just a little bit wider and with a loooooong foot.
Place the red cardstock inside the card (and the cut) like shown in the picture.
Open your card and mark where the 'wine' should stop (you don't want it to be pulled too far, or it will be hard to get it back in place). Make a 'stop' by using craft foam pads or tape.
Glue the card together along the sides (top and side, don't glue the bottom).
Write your greeting under the red wine.
I made a garland also out of small triangles of cardstock on craft foam pads.

Hope you're having a splendid Saturday!
