Paper Rose Heart & Home Sweet Tea Card Tutorial for Wonderful Wednesday
Hello, Friends! What if I told you that this Sweet Tea Card Tutorial will take less than 10 minutes to watch? That’s how simple this elegant card takes to make. Of course, figuring out the design for the card, took me quite a bit longer than that!
This is our last week with this lovely paper collection before we move into the month of August. Since I made this card the day before my knee replacement surgery, I knew it had to be quick and easy. So I turned to my pile of scraps and went to work.
Use Your Scraps
Every single panel on this card is a scrap from another project. I love when that happens! Even the card base is made from scraps of kraft cardstock.
Here’s how:
- First, cut 2 panels of kraft cardstock to 5″ x 8 1/2″.
- Next join the two panels together on the 5″ side with 1/2″ Scor-Tape.
- Now place the long side on your scoring tool and score at 7″ and 7 1/2″.
- Fold on the 7 1/2″ line, and score again at 7″.
- Then fold that short flap up to serve as a pocket inside the card. Add gussets to the sides, and you just made a card base using paper scraps!
A Peek Inside
There are some sweet goodies tucked inside the card, too. But you’ll have to watch the video below to find out more about those.

See? I told you it was easy!
Time Saver Tip: Cut all your scrap panels first, then glue everything together. I even build my floral cluster off the card base. This allows me to move the elements around until they are just the way I want them to be. Then I glue them together and set them aside until I’m ready to add them to the card.
Now I have to go pack my overnight bag and get ready for my hospital adventure. By the time you read this post I will have been home for 2 1/2″ weeks, and hopefully, I’m ready to get my craft on again!

There is nothing scrappy about this card! It is delightful and gentle in design. I am really looking forward to your adventures with the graphic 45 in August, good news as you must be back in your studio. There is about one day of odd jobs left on the house and we can return to a normal living space and enjoy the results of many hours af hard work by tradesmen and artisans.
I hope you’re doing well after your surgery! Your projects are always so beautiful and inspiring. Take care!
Again your use of scraps have turned into such a lovely card! Thank you for the inspiration to create this simple but beautiful card. I hope all is going well with your recovery and I look forward to next weeks project. Thank you.
