Have you read The Happiness Project? If not (spoiler alert), one of the goals she talks about is sending actual birthday cards instead of just a quick online message. It's a goal I often think about, and while I haven't actually started doing it, I hope that building a stash of homemade notecards will help.
Washi card stripe notecards are probably my current favorites. They're so easy, and if you're like me and have a huge washi stash, you can get really creative with the color and pattern combinations. For these ones, I went with pink and peach solid tape to add a spring feel, then used black and white patterned tape to make them look a little bolder and not too Easter-dressy. I'm completely smitten and now the challenge is going to be letting them go.
In case you're curious, these are the supplies I used (although you can use any card stock, envelopes, and washi tape you happen to have):
- rose pink tape from the Oh Happy Day Shop
- salmon pink tape from the Oh Happy Day Shop
- black and white tape from Paper Source
- envelopes from Paper Source
- card stock from Paper Source
