If you have a Michael's Craft store near you, this is a perfect craft. Now listen, I am NOT crafty, nor do I claim to be. I do claim to be resourceful and I will steal any idea, BUT I will tell you first that I am stealing (or borrowing it) -- imitating is the sincerest form of flattery, right? I am so excited about this one, because it's something I came up with on my own.
I got these notecards at Michael's for $.60 for a set of 10! I bought a TON and they had all different designs. I bought the ones that did not look Christmas-sy so I could use them for something like this. The ribbon you see was also $.60 a roll -- CHEAP! I have a friend with an upcoming birthday and thought this would be a nice little added gift (dont't worry, I'm not that cheap, I also bought her another gift to go with these) ~ anyway, I was with my fabulous friend Torrie and she suggested I get the glitter. I bought the opal colored glitter glue and then just embellished the notecards in random places.
Before ~ not embellished ~ still pretty but what girl doesn't love a little sparkle?!
You can't really see, but there is glitter on the card. If you click on the picture, it will make it bigger and you can see it.
I took the ribbon and found some other black ribbon in my stash and wrapped it up all nice and pretty. SO for less than $2 ~ I have a beautiful gift for a someone special!
