Free Printable Cards

It's Tuesday again and Tuesday = Free here on ye little ol' blog. This week I have a set of two printable cards for you to download and enjoy. :-) I also have a mini-tutorial about how to cut them for all of you out there who are not paper crafters.

First, here are the cards I designed for you! (Cute, eh?)

Credits: Papers by Miss Kim Designs, Scalloped edging by deliciousscraps.com

To use them, first download the PDF from 4shared and open it up. Print on a sheet of 8.5x11 white cardstock in color. Grab your paper trimmer (or a pair of scissors if you are confident in your 'straight-cutting-with-scissors-skills'... I am not, which is one of the many reasons I have a trimmer.)


Cut off the three edges of the page so it looks like this:


Once your edges are cut, now watch your cat as she comes over and eats/plays with those strips of paper. Take a few photos because she's a hilariously odd little kitty.

Ok, sorry, back to the project. :-P Now, measure the width of the card and trim down the final edge and down the middle.

These cards actually turned out to be a weird size (something slightly smaller than 3.75" x 5", which is what I was going for before my PDF printer went a little wacky and scaled down the page.) Anyway, cut the edge so that when you fold it on the edge of the card, it lines up. :-)

Now, you have two cards to send off to people you love! You can dress them up a little bit like I did here for something extra special or just leave them as they are.

I just added a flower + brad and some bling to this one and inked the edges.

I just added a die cut heart and button + string to this one and also inked the edges.

I will be sending these and many others to the Cards for Cancer drive! For more info, check out my previous posts here.

Enjoy! :-D
