Make a Quick and Easy Card

Make a quick card from wrapping paper.

Wrapping a present for a birthday party, we needed a card. I had very little time before we needed to leave. After wrapping the present, I decided to use the wrapping paper to make a matching card. It was so quick and easy to do.

As a craft designer, I am provided materials to create with.
Some items used in this post were provided by the manufactures.

Materials:

  • wrapping paper
  • stamp – Stampendous
  • the works board – We R Memory Keepers
  • ink pad – izink
  • cardstock
  • tape runner – Scrapbook Adhesives

*Note: single-sided wrapping paper works best so the design from the other side doesn’t show through like the example does.

CutCardstock Christmas Trees

Grab these free SVG files and make your own light-up Christmas Tree decor.

I created these Christmas Trees for a post at Cut CardStock. We were presented with a mood board to influence our creations this month so I changed my original plan for green trees to red. I think they would also look nice in white. There are two different tree versions, a four-sided tree, and a five-sided tree.

I cut the free SVG files on a Cricut Maker. A special thanks to Cricut and Cut CardStock for providing materials for this post.

The free SVG files:

four sided tree
five sided tree

Don’t forget to set the red lines to score before cutting. You can change the size of the trees as you desire.

Snowflake Place Cards

Making beautiful place cards with Cut Cardstock linen card stock.

As a part of the CutCardStock design team, I am sharing a free SVG file to make these beautiful snowflake place cards.

Visit the CutCardStock blog to see all the fun and creative posts made with cardstock.

Cutting Tip: To cut the card stock on the Cricut Maker, use the 100-pound card stock setting and adjust the cut to more. Then cut the card stock twice. After the first cut and before removing the mat, hit the Cricut cut button again.
