We often forget about making note cards, but it’s a good idea to have some on hand for when you want just a quick note to send someone, like these Full of Love Note Cards. I chose to use this easy stamp set and greetings to stamp on the Stampin’ Up! Note Cards & Envelopes. So handy to have!
Since I wanted to be able to color the images with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers and they bleed through the paper a bit, I stamped the images on Basic White cardstock and made them as a layer on the notecard. You can purchase the Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes in a package so they are ready to go! With 20 cards and 20 envelopes in the package, they are a good price. They can also be purchased in Very Vanilla and Kraft. The folded note card is 3 1/2″ x 5″ so I cut the cardstock I was going to stamp on at 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″.
The stamp set I chose is Full of Love and is an easy stamp set to use. No extra expense needed for dies you can’t resist! Just stamp! If you didn’t want to color in, you could just stamp in a color and have them be monochromatic. I colored in with various Stampin’ Blends because I love to use those! Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen to soften would be perfect to and could be done without an extra layer. There are good sentiments in the stamp set to fit lots of occasions or you could use one from another stamp set.
Here is another note card I made a couple years ago, much the same way as these and even added an extra colored layer plus decorated the envelope flap with a piece of designer paper!
With this stamp set, you could even stamp the image and cut it into a rectangle or square using either the Paper Trimmer or dies, then mount it to the note card with a colored cardstock or designed paper layer underneath. Make them as simple or fancy as you want!
Just remember, everyone appreciates some “real” mail these days instead of constant junk mail and the people you know would love to hear from you! For a quick note, just pull out a note card and stamp it or have some already made up to send at a moment’s notice. When someone pops into your mind, or you need a quick thank you or even birthday card, just send a note card and get it done right away. You know you will make someone’s day when they find your card in their mailbox!
