scrappy note cards (tutorial tuesday)

as you know, i'm alway looking for new ways to use my many many scraps. recently i came up with these fun little note cards. they're oh so simple to make and each one uses up quite a few scraps. i had a lot of fun making these cards.

Materials Needed
blank note cards (michaels)
scraps (fabric and paper)
sewing machine/needle and thread
scrap paper
pencil
scissors
buttons
double sided tape (scotch)

Directions
1. make a rectangle template from your scrap paper that is a little bit smaller than the front of your card
2. cut several of these rectangles from your scrap paper.
3. sort through scraps and pull out a handful that catch your eye.
4. arrange and sew scraps to rectangle.
5. sew on button, if desired.
6. using double stick tape, attach stitched rectangle to front of card.

these cards are perfect for a handwritten hello or thank you note. they would also make great gifts. if you make some, i would love to see them! leave me a link in the comments section.

don't have time to make some cards? all the cards seen in this post are available in my etsy shop.
