Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Monogrammed Notecards

by

I’ve been looking for some great gifts for all the women in my life, but also don’t want to spend hundreds over the holidays. One Bag Nation is participating in a Holidays By Hand blog ring, and this post on using scrapbook paper to create gorgeous monogrammed notecards struck me immediately! I’ve already started grabbing great scrapbook papers out of my stash, and I’m going to mount them to simple white cardstock (what scrapbooker doesn’t have pounds of it laying around?).

Instead of monogramming the cards, however, I’ve got some great word stamps that say things like “love” and “cute” and “simple” and such, and I’m going to use those. And for the newly married couples? I have an ADORABLE “Mr & Mrs.” stamp!!!

If you follow my lead and craft up some of these cards, consider posting them to the Craft Gossip Flickr pool and tag them recyled – I love to feature your projects here!
