Notecard Packs

Does 80 notecards sound like a lot to you? Well it is! Even us chicks say that's a lot of cards to have on hand. But what if we told you the cost to make this many cards would be around 3-4 cents per card?? Yeah, you heard right that is in cents per card. 

Today, we want to share with you how that can be. Now this would be for those of you who are new to cardmaking or those if you on a super tight budget.  Enclosed are some photos to give you and idea of what we are talking about. 

When you are getting ready to check out at a craft store (Michael's. Hobby Lobby etc) they always have bins with craft things. We managed to get our hands on this pack of notecards WITH envelopes.
And look how adorable the designs are!! This is just a few of the designs in the pack.

 

And now all you need is your favorite stamp set and ink. Today we will be using this Hero Arts one. We love this set because it is not only cute but very versatile for any occasion. As you can see it's a well loved stamp set.


Of course if you have scrap paper around you can use it. The card we made as an example is using some scrap paper we had laying around and stickers (the hearts)  So using only these few things here is what you can make.


Viola! How simple was that? For just a few cents you can make many cards for every occasion. And you will be able to challenge yourself in stretching your stamp set. So we chicks encourage you all to try this and please share with us what you have come up with. Don't forget to check out our Instagram account to see more cards using this idea. 

Thanks for checking us out.
