Read the Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1:

The things that you need are: old book illustrations, paper trimmer, glue, scissors, and a card stock.

For my card, I will be using this old but wonderful book of the Wizard of Oz. You can choose any book you want, as long as it has vibrant colors and illustrations, and you no longer need it.

Step 2:

Look for an image that stands out and one that you think will complement your photo. Once you find a desired image from the book, you may tear it out.

Step 3:

Next, make sure that the image fits the card. Cut it into the right size if necessary, use a paper trimmer.

This is how it fits mine! I really love this forest scene from the book!

Step 4:

Once you've covered the card with your desired image, it's time to choose some words from the book that will serve as your sentiment. Don't overthink which words to choose! Go with the words that feel right for you!

Step 5:

I picked the beautiful words "I am going to the Land of the Oz to see the great wizard." and cut it out of the page in strips and adhered the words to the front of my card.

TIP: If you can't find a good enough picture from your old books, you can mix and match! Try cutting out pictures from different pages and putting them together for a much more interesting backdrop.

There you go! See how easy but beautiful this card is? Don't throw your old books away, try this fantastic card making technique instead.

I hope you've enjoyed this tip! Stay tuned for more amazing card making tips!
