I'm not always sure what to get people as gifts, so I thought this time, instead of buying them something edible (probably chocolate), I'd make a pack of generalized cards to give them, which they can then in turn use for someone else as needed. I stamped these cards with a very general sentiment, so they can be used for many different occasions!
I used plain white card stock for the card, patterned card stock for the design which I cut out with fancy scissors and glued on, and stamped "Best Wishes" on it. I made a pack of 4 cards using different card stocks on them:CLICK ON AN IMAGE TO ENLARGE IT |
Also, a good gift for someone who seems to have everything and need nothing. :)

What a wonderful idea! I was just wondering what to gift to a few on my Christmas list that seem to have everything. This is a great idea. I'm a part of a Stamp Camp and often have extra cards that I can never remember who I have sent them to already. This would be a great way to put together a set of cards to give as a gift.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to say that I adore your blog. Your UPcycling (a new term I learned from a magazine recently) is creative and I can see myself trying out many of the ideas. That is why I have so enjoyed reading through your blog and look forward to what else comes!
Beautiful card! I love it! Thanks for playing Stamping with Brenda Clean & Simple Sunday Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI did this for family and friends last year when money was really tight...
ReplyDeleteI love notecards, because it beats running to the store and the handmade aspect is much more personal!
great work...

What a lovely set of cards - lovely colour theme.
ReplyDeleteHow smartly you have done those cards... I love to make cards as gifts too but somehow spend so much time over them that I don't make enough. But these are so cleverly done. I am certainly inspired.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
