DIYs

  • Make Journaling Cards

You can cut the corner off an index card, then flip it around to cut the other corner.  Then glue scrapbook paper to one side of the index card.  Cut around the scrapbook paper, until you’re just left with the index card with a fun design.  Stamp the other side, then punch a hole.  You can tie a bow with yarn, ribbon, or bakers tie, in the hole.

  • Make Ribbon or Paper Banners

Cut a rectangle of ribbon or paper that fits your need.  Then fold the bottom portion in half, you don’t need a crease.  Then, take your ribbon or paper and turn it so the fold is on the right.  Next, take your scissors and make a diagonal cut from the side opposite the fold to the fold.  Voila!  You’re done!
