Step-by-step

Step 1
You can see everything you need in the photo. Choose the glitter brush pens in your favourite colours. Print out the template so it’s ready to use.

Step 2
Use the glitter brush pen to draw broad, even strokes on the white paper. If you hold the pen flat and push down gently, the lines will come out almost by themselves.

Step 3
Next, draw the “ribbon” on the present using the edding 1800 profipen.

Step 4
Cut the present out, making sure you cut off the rounded edges created by the brush pen at the start of each stroke.

Step 5
Cut out a small piece of corrugated cardboard and stick it in the centre of the folded card. Later on, you’ll glue the present onto the cardboard to create an attractive raised effect.

Step 6
It’s a good idea to write the word “surprise” on the card in pencil first, before going over it with the edding 1800 pen. That way, you can accentuate and embellish individual letters really nicely.

Step 7
Glue the glittery paper present onto the corrugated cardboard, and your surprise card is now ready!
