2 Styles of DIY Notecards

Thank you to @StickerApp for the products to review--I honestly LOVE them!

It's no secret that I like making cards. I've made ombre notecards, friendsgiving place cards, Valentine's Day cards...but I just discovered something that makes DIY-card-making so much easier.

Watercolor!
And stickers!! (I sound like I'm 6. I realize that. Let's move on.)

Using each method, you'll end up with 2 sets of as many notecards as you'd like. Here's what I did:

Watercolor notecards:
--Paint a bunch of simple designs on plain paper (I just used printed paper), and set it aside to dry

--Fold/cut cardstock to the proper size according to whatever envelopes you have on hand

--Once the watercolor designs have dried, cut them out, round the edges, and just glue them to the front of the card. (You could even add a cut-out design to the front of your envelope to make it match the card!)

+Bonus: use the watercolor design as a backdrop for adding some words like "Happy birthday!" or "YAY!" or "Keep your dog of my yard!" (Jk, because grumpy old men don't make watercolor cards.)

Sticker-decorated notecards:
This method takes more design time on the computer, but once you've ordered your stickers, the card-making literally takes SECONDS.

--Design custom stickers over at StickerApp (remember when I shared about the laptop skin I got from their affiliate, CaseApp?! Still in LOVE.) I used graphics downloaded as a weekly freebie from the Creative Market.

--Create a corresponding to/from customized label to stick on the envelope.

--Once they come in the mail, stick them right on your cardstock card! It's SO easy!
