Quick Notecard idea with the Banner Sayings bundle

January 20, 2026

I needed to send a few special cards to my Team members this weekend and so I created these cute notecards:

The large piece of designer paper is 4″ X 3″ and the bottom strip is 4″ X 1″. I added a 1/4″ strip of textured Coastal Cabana between them (I found it in my scraps).

I chose to make notecards because the package I was sending their prizes in was narrow and these fit perfectly.
Did you know we carry pre-scored notecards with envelopes? The package includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes for just $10. You can see them here.

I chose the Hobby Haven designer paper because of it’s colors and ‘hobby’ themed prints. See it here. It’s part of our Online product selection.

I decided to feature the Banner Sayings bundle for a few reasons. It’s quick with the coordinating punch and the greeting I chose fit my needs perfectly. Click here to see it. The new Triple Banner punch was out of stock for weeks! But now it’s back.

Golden Honey Birthday Candles! So cute!

March 18, 2020
I saw a card like this online and HAD to make one! I believe the original designer is Libby Fens. Look at this colorful, clever card!

Save

I wish I'd come up with the idea myself but I cased it. Sometimes I feel a bit guilty casing from others. But when people case me I take it as a huge compliment. So I get over my guilt pretty quickly! 😉

The candles are made from the Golden Honey specialty designer paper that was available as part of our Sale-a-Bration offering. It is now sold out but I know many of you own it already so I thought I'd share the card for you. Or maybe you own some similar patterned paper you could use instead.

The candles are about 3/8" wide and 3" tall. The paper is originally white with gold diagonal dashes. I colored them in with Blends markers in light and dark of each color. The colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.

For the flames I punched out a daisy from the Medium Daisy punch in Gold Glimmer paper. I cut off the petals and adhered them under the top of each candle. Then I popped up each candle with mini dimensionals.

Other Details
- The Let's Celebrate You greeting is from Bonanza Buddies set on page 34 of the 2020 January-June mini catalog.
- The stitched rectangle is from the Stitched so Sweetly dies
- Granny Apple Green
Here's a view of the Stitched So Sweetly bundle; it includes a fabulous stamp set and amazing dies. If you buy it this month you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice! See it here.
