I bought it, but I wasn't really sure what I was going to use it for. It is the perfect size for C6 folded cards so I thought I'd make a set of note cards and envelopes as a present.
I went to The Graphic Fairy's site and chose a selection of simple black and white images. I made a template in Word for the cards, dropped the images in, and ran them through the printer. It was that easy. I also sprayed the printed images with a coat of matt acrylic sealer so the ink wouldn't run if it got wet.
I like to give (and receive) cards as a present. It's always handy to have blank cards on hand.
I also bought this box.
I think I'll make some coloured cards using images of tea cups, cup cakes, handbags and shoes.
Tips - I used white linen textured cards from Riot Art & Craft - 25 for $10

ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect gift. I love receiving gifts that have been handmade by someone. To know that someone took so much time and trouble over a gift really means a lot. x Sharon
ReplyDeleteWow, you are always coming up with the most fabulous ideas! Thanks for sharing this one. I've seen those boxes in the $2 shops too but I'm not sure about making cards! I'm not very creative like you.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and happy week,
Natasha.
These cards are beautifully simple. Love them! I have gifted a pack of hand made cards in the past and included a pen and a pack of postage stamps. Everything on hand for that last minute card that has to be sent off.
