I love square cards, and I’m so happy that this month’s special is square enevelopes! Square cards are easy to make, especially from 12 x 12 paper, as I’ve done on this card, using Basis Olive cardstock.

After Cutting the cardstock into a 6″ x 12″ piece, score to create a 6″ x 6″ card. Adhere 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ patterned paper to card front, centered.
Next, stamp the GPS image from the stamp set on Curious Metallic Cryogen White cardstock and trim. Stamp sentiment on a scrap of the same cardstock, and trim. Mat sentiment to a scrap of Hot Fudge cardstock. Adhere to lower right side of card.
Grab a handful of Copic Markers and color to your heart’s content. I really like the Curious Metallic Cryogen White cardstock for Copics, it gives such a nice, subtle sparkle to any project!

Finally, I matted the GPS unit onto Hot Fudge cardstock and adhered to the front of the card. As a finishing touch, I inked the corrugated cardboard arrow with the Timber Brown ink, wrapped some hemp around the end, and adhered to the card front using foam tape.
