Making your own cards does not take a lot! 8.5 x 11 cardstock, cut in half - and then purchase a box of envelopes - I get mine at Amazon! Add patterned paper in various colors and themes, and you have one-of-a-kind cards for your friends and family!
I also use scraps for the most part! I do use a 12 x 12 sheet at times with a One Sheet Wonder template! There are some awesome ideas on Pinterest, check out my page here! With scraps, you can find really fun colors to use together that normally doesn't go together, it just matches well!
I use different die cuts for different things. Or I combine a die cuts and punches to make the card more unique! You can get a few basic shapes and use them different ways - cost saving for sure! (186
If you notice on this bottom picture - the card on the far right in the front - and one kiddie corner, you will see cute baby bootie! This was actually made out of a Christmas sock - just cut down! I love the idea and the fact I could use this one in 2 different ways! I also love to use my punches! They can cost saving depending on how many times you use it! The balloons on the bottom right card, used on the baby card, also is used on my birthday cards!
Look at what you have at home - take a look at some basic punches or die cuts you can get! You can also use them for other paper craft ideas and scrapbooks as well! Most of my supplies I use both!
