Whew! Now that Christmas is over I’m so glad I can take a break and relax. I spent so much time crafting goodies this year I am exhausted. One of my handmade gifts was a little stationary set. I included 5 handmade cards that I created out of paper scraps and I wanted to share some cute and easy greeting card inspiration with you. <\/p>\n

If you didn’t know already from the blog title, I love paper. I keep lots and lots of paper scraps in a big bucket by my craft desk to re-use. Why let beautiful paper go to waste, am I right? So I came up with a couple new card designs for easy handmade cards. <\/p>\n

I used paper scraps from my staff and some card bases and envelopes purchased from Michaels. I also picked up a set of gold stickers from the Dollar Tree making this an EASY<\/strong> and CHEAP<\/strong> DIY paper craft.<\/p>\n

\"Quick<\/p>\n

Using a heart border punch I made this sweet little anniversary card. I also punched a couple extra hearts to decorate the sentiment on the outside. <\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

\"Scallop<\/p>\n

Following the heart border punch, I also tried a scallop edge. This one is easy to do with decorative border scissors. I added the gold sticker sentiment on the right side of the card. It’s a very sweet and simple design. <\/p>\n

\"Gold<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

This one is easy peasy! I took my scrap paper and wrapped it with twine three times. I secured the twine in the middle front of the card with a knot. I covered that up with a piece of foam adhesive and a gold sticker sentiment.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

\"Brown<\/p>\n

This sequin card is also made with a larger piece of scrap paper for the background. I used scrap vellum as a band across the bottom and added the sticker sentiment. I found some gold and brown colored sequins at the dollar tree and glued those on for sparkle.<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

You can also use a scrap piece of paper as the belly band and then a piece of vellum right behind your sentiment as a border and background. <\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

I stamped each of the inside of the cards with a happy birthday or anniversary greeting. They were all packed up with a bow and sent out as a fun little stationary set of handmade cards. The recipient loved these easy to make cards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
