The COOPERATION card making template features a number of small paper pieces that work together to create aesthetically pleasing card projects. This is a great template to use when you are looking to use up a lot of paper scraps left over from other scrapbooking and rubber stamping crafts.

• A   3” x 3”
• B  1” Strips torn into pieces in 3 colors
• C  4-3/4” x 4-3/4” square
• D  4-1/2 x 4-1/2” torn on one side
• E  5” x 10” folded in half to made a 5” x 5”

(or a variation of this template)

1.  Score cardstock E down the center and fold giving you a 5" x 5" card.  Trim edges for evenness.  Cut papers A through D to size. 
2. Using your clear hobby rubber stamps create images on A in black ink.  Color with markers.  Place the 2” x 2” contrasting color behind one corner to form a partial mat. Place colored strips (B) ripped at intervals randomly behind corners.  Secure into place with glue once you achieve the desired effect.  This should all fit on paper D. 
3. Place eyelets at the corners of A and go through layers B and D.
4. Using a toothbrush (make sure this is an old one that will not be used for brushing teeth anymore), ink the bristles in the black ink.  Spray the toothbrush bristles with water mist.  Run your thumb across the bristles so the inked water droplets spray over the project.  Do this until you have the desired effect.  You may wish to wear a rubber glove to protect your fingers from ink stains.
5. Secure D to C and then mount on card E for the finishing touch.
6. Add a sentiment or saying to complete the card making project.
