The other day I needed some postcards for a project and I couldn't find any! I checked out the thrift store for some cute vintagy ones….but nothing.
Then the brain started working. What could I buy {cheap of course} that would work as a postcard?
I came up with this and turned it into a quick little tutorial.
The first thing you will need——- A Cute Card Game!!
I found Horton Hears a Who! Card Game.
The cards were stiff and they had cute illustrations on the one side.
Materials needed:
- scissors
- punch
- cards
- ribbon or curling ribbon
- cardstock
- Modge Podge
Cut your cardstock a bit larger than your card. I just used white cardstock, but you could totally dress yours up with colored or patterned cute scrapbook paper.
Glue to the backside. I used modge podge….
Draw a little line on the back. Addresses go on one side, note goes on the other.
Finished Cards:
This can go a bit further if you are thinking of using it as cards and not mailing them…….
I punched a hole at the top and put curling ribbon through it.
So there ya have it— in fact just last night I was sending off a little package and thought to myself– I need to make me some that don't have postcard written on it and use them as note cards in packages!!! how brilliant is that?!
What else could we do with that half pile of cards? Any other suggestions? Ideas? Oh, hey this one just popped in— what about brads in the corners? cute!
What would you use it for?
Pst— tomorrow is Focus Friday!!! Cute elephant coming your way……….weeerrrrrr
I Love TheHIVE
Okay, so let me just tell you…………….I read alot of blogs/websites and see tons of really cute ideas for different things. This postcard idea has got to be one of the cutest, most creative, most original ideas I have seen in a long time! And so simple!!! I'm heading to the store after work!
thanks stacy- hey after you make them send a link or photo of them….let's see
what you come up with!!!
