Notes when making this card
- Spread glue evenly on the patterns when applying glue on the card cover. You can use a brush to spread glue on the card more evenly.
- Put a glossy paper underneath the cover before spreading glue on it. That helps the small patterns on the cover will not be torn
- Be careful when sticking the cover to the base. You should stick the base on the cover.
