Note Card Bonanza

These note/greeting cards were easy to make but a bit difficult to write specific directions for because it’s a matter of seeing what you might have that you can cut up and put together with what else.

Our basic cards were made with what is a staple in most any crafter's stash — colored card stock. The decorative elements were cut from inexpensive (dollar store, craft store close-out bin, etc) note pads and/or stationery. In one case, the cut-outs came from gift wrapping paper.

The one embellishment that might be tried no matter what you cut up and put together was made with 1/8-inch-wide, industrial-strength red liner tape. The effect was most attractive.

Materials and Tools:

card stock
1/8" red liner tape
