Tutorial: Inside Out Notecards - Part 2

Jackie Hernandez — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:42:14 +0000

I am still looking for ways to transform my stash of plain boring notecards. I showed you how to use fabric scraps and stamps to “recover” the card and how to make inside out notecards with craft punches in Part 1 of this series. Now I want to show you how to make inside out notecards using your own cut out design instead of craft punches.

Tutorial: Inside Out Notecards - Part 1

I am still looking for ways to transform my stash of plain boring notecards. I showed you how to use fabric scraps and stamps to “recover” the card. Now I want to share a fun way to turn an ugly blank-inside card into a lovely postcard or notecard. In a two part series I will show you how to make inside out notecards using a craft punch (like the oak leaf card) in Part 1 and how to make inside out notecards with your own cut out design (like the “Hi.” card) in Part 2.

Recycled Kraft Paper for Scrapbooking

It is no secret that scrapbooking uses up gobs of paper. Crafting a green scrapbook is definitely an uphill battle. We’ve shown you recycled papers, handmade embellishments, even how to use leftover paint chips, and now I give you recycled kraft scrapbook paper.

Jillibean Soup offers cute, unique, eco-friendly scrapbook papers printed on 100% recycled Kraft paper. Printing their debut line on kraft paper was so important that they custom-manufactured folio size kraft paper that is acid-free and lignin free. I personally love the look of the brown kraft paper in the background.
