Glue Dots® (Glue Lines, Micro)

cardstock (kraft, red, yellow, blue)

letter stickers (American Crafts Thickers)

floss (We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy)

notebook paper

buttons (red, yellow, blue)

scissors

paper cutter

1. Cut a 6" x 8" piece of kraft cardstock and fold in half to make a card.

2. Attach letter stickers to the bottom right-hand side of the card to spell out "thanks".

3. Make three 1 1/2" x 3/4" flags out of notebook paper and mat each with cardstock (red, yellow, blue) using Glue Dots Glue Lines® to attach them together.

4. Adhere two Glue Dots Glue Lines® to the back of each matted flag, one on the center and one at the top, leaving 1 mm of adhesive exposed on the front of each flag. Attach the flags to the card as a banner.

5. Apply floss to the top of the exposed Glue Dots Glue Lines®.

6. Make three small bows out of floss and attach to the banner using Micro Glue Dots®.

Easy Business Cards You Can Do Yourself

Yes, you can fill out an order form and wait for a stack of business cards to arrive at your door. Or if you're crafty (I know you are), you can make your own business cards with extra scrapbook paper you've stashed away.

That's just what I did when I made my current business cards. I have plenty of paper scraps and wanted to use them to create new business cards for the class I taught at the Memories Scrapbooking Expo. I spent a few bucks on a personalized stamp (from Close To My Heart), trimmed my paper scraps to size and stamped away!

DIY Business Cards

Instead of passing them out individually, I used Removable Glue Dots© to attach my business cards to the scrapbook kits I created for the class. Not only did they showcase my information, my DIY business cards acted as closures for the kits.

Not interested in stamping? Try making these unique bookmark business cards with recycled cardstock and a printer:

Even though I made those ones a few years ago, you can still find the tutorial on my old blog: How to Make Business Card Bookmarks Using Recycled Scrapbook Paper.

Have you made your own business cards? I'd love to hear about them! ~Danielle
