Card Idea #1

17 years ago

This was discussed a couple of weeks ago on another post so I thought I'd start this out. Hopefully, we'll get some interest and get this board moving a little bit.

So post a picture and/or instructions on how to make a favorite fall-related card.

Simple Card

This card can be made with a set of Halloween stamps or stickers OR a set of Autumn stamps or stickers.

Cut 4 rectangles (1.5" x 2.5") from cardstock. The colors should be seasonal such as black and orange. Stamp an image/sticker on each rectangle. Affix to the front of the card. Optional: Glue a length of ribbon to the middle of the card. Stamp a greeting on the inside and you've got a seasonal card that is simple and quick to finish!

Can't wait to see what everyone else has to share.

I love this card. It is made with double sided scrapbook paper, and the leaves and pumpkin are stamps by Stampin' Up.

yes the old ones will not read the newer SDHC cards just go buy a usb card reader that will take SDHC cards they are very cheap, I picked one up at Big Lots for $6 and one at walmart for under $10. Just make sure it lists SDHC on the list of what it will use. It just plugs into your usb port when you need to use it. I would not worry with installing one since these are so easy to get and cheap.Just make sure it uses usb2.0 there are tons of them on amazon from $2 up.

just means it can read more types of memory cards, some are 15 in 1 some even more. These days most things take the standard SD card which all card readers read, if you look some tell you exactly what type cards they read and which slot to put them in. If your camera takes some type of special card then you want to make sure you get one that reads that kind of card. But the little usb card readers are extremely cheap I buy them for $6. Memory card

So the customer is actually paying that extra percentage, not the merchant. But ... the customer has to make more money in order to cover the cost of that extra percentage ... so the customer's employer is actually paying that extra percentage. But ... the employer will have to make more money in order to pay his employee more, so the employer will have to charge more for his company's services. And so on and so on. :) In other words, who is ultimately paying is irrelevant. The fact is, you pay the same at the store whether you are using cash, credit with no cash back, or credit with cash back. So the individual is better off using a card that has the max cash back. The person who pays cash is on the losing end of the deal. And all of this is irrelevant to the original question. :) destruct05, I think you've probably already found the best options. Go for the one that you feel best with.

Need creative ideas for Place Card Holders

I think the best way to go is to use generic holders and make the cards themselves customized to fit the Titanic theme. So, if you already have holders or want to buy some, find something elegant but simple that you can reuse. Then, you print off the luggage tags or boarding pass or whatever. That part is easy. You do all the art on the computer, then print on regular paper with a color printer and cut them out. I've done this sort of thing many times. You can use Word to do it. So, for the tags, you can buy some tan colored card stock, or just print on regular card stock. Then just draw in the shape of the tag, a dark brown ring on the left to simulate the reinforcemnt around the hole, and all the rest of the art on there - the star, the border, the lines to be filled out, etc. Once you have the art the way you like it, copy-paste it as many times as can fit on a page. Then print and cut. Use a hole puncher to punch the hole and attach the string. Admittedly this can be time consuming - it takes time to draw all this on the computer. But it's definitely not difficult and would be so cute.

That's really cute. I like the way the paper is folded over to make a bit of a pocket.

The background of 3 shades of orange is a paint chip sample that you can get for free in any paint department. Leaves are die cuts or paper punches.

I love stealing paint chips for making cards and such!

I think I posted a scrapbook page I had made with a paper-pieced pumpkin a while back, but I recently made a card in the same style.

Not quite so neon in real life, but I think the purple background adds something. The pumpkin body is 4 lumpy ovals stacked up. Foam dots would be great for giving it some dimension. As I am uber-cheap, I used 6 small scrap strips of cardstock between the layers.

Green hearts for the leaves. You could use a punch or fold the paper in half and cut out a half heart the way we did in elementary school art class - the crease will just give dimension to the leaves. Mini-strips of green wrapped around a pen for the vines.

It may have benefitted from inking the edges or somehow distressing the paper (or using nicer paper to start) - but I think it is a pretty cute use for that giant tablet of cardstock that seemed like such a good idea when you bought it.
