Hi there, friends! I hope that all of you are doing better with the whole gift gathering thing than I am...because I'm running about 2 months behind schedule. And considering Christmas is just around the corner, I don't exactly have 2 months to make everything.
Which brings me to this quick and easy gift idea :: the photo card.
Remember this photo that I shared a couple months ago?
Ok, so probably you don't remember it considering the number of photos that have been shared on this site in the past 6 months alone, but it's one of my favorites. It was one of those photos that I thought of and executed within about 5-10 minutes flat...my favorite. :) Anyways, I like to give my mom a few handmade cards each Christmas since she is so good about sending cards to people...and this photo seemed to be the perfect fit for the image on the cards.
To make the cards, I just printed the I LOVE YOU photo at 5x7 inches onto the right side of a piece of 8.5x11 cardstock and then cut it out and folded it at the exact edge of the photo.
Next, I just added 1 little pop-dotted flower/button sticker to each card along the word clothesline and then placed each card into a craft colored envelope.
And just like that, within 1 hour I had a set of 10 cards for her to send out this year.
Easy right? And cheap...and not very time consuming. My kind of project. :)
so adorable!
