I miss the process of snail mail in this age of electronic communication and am happy to be sending some out.
Do you still send cards or letters through the mail?

Basic Grey Cards
I don't make cards to often. For the occasional birthday or Christmas for the teachers. I also did a card swap with a group of scrap friends a few years ago that was a lot of fun. Otherwise, I just haven't been creating cards, even though few years ago, I read Stacey Julian's book Big Picture Scrapbooking . And one of the things she recommended doing after creating a layout, was to use the scraps and make a card.. Which I think is a brilliant idea!
So I decided to do just that with my the leftovers from my November design team product. I had some great scraps left and created not one but two cards :) I have already used the "hi" card to send to my sister-in-law. The "you are so sweet!" card is going to be a thank you for a friend.

Most of the time I only send cards through the mail at Christmas. Those are totally cute, for some reason I never think to do cards on kraft even though I love it.
ReplyDeletegreat cards! love using up all my scraps!
ReplyDeletelove using scraps for cards. yours are fantastic. I do send them, but it seems when I need to mail a card, I buy one..........and the ones I make pile up in my scrap room - go figure, right?
ReplyDeleteLove these! Great cards! :) I too love using scraps on cards and on many occasions I immediately make a card with the scraps after making a layout...never read that book though.
ReplyDeleteThese are really cuper cute cards!
ReplyDeleteYou should make them more--they are adorable! I'm embarassed to say I don't think I've actually sent a card in the mail for quite some time! I do tuck them into birthday and baby gifts, though!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I love the idea of using your scraps up this way. I absolutely send cards ;) There's just something about a handwritten note that arrives in the mail, right?
ReplyDeleteLove the cards! They turned out great! To be honest, I am not as good at sending cards as I should be. I do make them for Operation Write Home though, so that others can! Thanks for sharing!!! -Amanda
ReplyDeleteThose are so nice! I've been trying to make more cards with my scraps lately instead of spending the $3-5 on each card!
ReplyDeleteI love using scraps to make cards! Yours are fun and yet simple! TFS!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so pretty.
ReplyDeletePerfect way to use up your scraps.
I love to receive snail mail, so I know others will as well, so yup, I send cards in the mail :)
I love your cards, great way to brighten someone's day!
ReplyDeleteThat is a super idea! I love the cards you made! I think I will do this from now on! PS. Snail mail with fun stamps always and forever :)
ReplyDeletelove these cute cards..thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThese are great cards, love the colors! I mail cards sometimes, not as much as I should!
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet card! The colors are so fun and a great way to use up the scraps. I used to be so good about making cards and sending them. But email has spoiled me and it's just too easy to type something up when I want to reach out. But I should make more cards and send them because I love it when someone thinks of me. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of left overs gorgeous cards and beautiful colours.
