Birthday Cards from Note Cards!

Last winter I cut down a box of printed note cards so I could use the card fronts to make Birthday Cards for my Mom's old nursing home. I cut them down because they were printed on a very lightweight cardstock and I do not like 'wussy' cards. I must have found the note cards on sale for a good price, but I cannot remember where. Ha. 

I pulled the card fronts from my 'In Progress' bin and got them all finished and ready to donate.

The card fronts had been cut down with stitched rectangle or square dies and I added them to folded white cards. The prints were dressed up with Stickles glitter glue for some shine and a stamped sentiment was added to some of them.

For the insides, I wrapped a white panel with washi tape from my stash and stamped a greeting before adding them inside the cards. I saved the card backs to use for matting and sentiment stamping etc, so there was very little waste.

This cute sloth panel was cut into a square as there must have been just too much pink background for my taste.

Here is another peek at the inside - each group of four got a different sentiment stamped inside.
