Personalizing Tiny Cards


Oh my goodness. There’s something about tiny little things that makes me beyond happy. And these tiny notecards definitely fall into that category. They’re just 2.5 inches square, but the possibilities are endless!


When I make cards for Stuff From Trees, I start with a 8.5x11-inch piece of card stock and cut a 6.25x9-inch card from one corner. Then I cut the longest strip into three pieces: two that are 4.5 inches and one that is 2 inches. The remaining piece is perfect for a bookmark!


Then I use double stick tape to cover each tiny card with patterned paper. Tape is so much more permanent than glue and way less messy.


Each lovely little card gets its own personalized embellishments. Very rarely do I ever make the same card twice, and only when it’s a special order, so they’re one-of-a-kind little treasures. 


I’m not a fan of just throwing stickers onto a piece of paper, so I layer them with die cuts, card stock punches and other fun embellishments. When they’re all pretty and ready to go, they’re perfect for putting in the top of a gift bag, leaving in someone’s church pew, tucking in their purse when they’re not looking or placing in their Bible to find later.


I absolutely adore custom orders, and I would love to make a personalized set of note cards for you. You can message me through the Stuff From Trees Facebook page or email stufffromtrees@gmail.com.

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Simple DIY Beaded Keychains

Image
We're having so much fun putting together goodie bags and door prizes for our upcoming ladies retreat at the church. So many of our ladies have donated craft supplies, decorations, time and energy to treat our visitors to an amazing time. These keychains are just one of the gifts some of the attendees will find in their bags. All you need to make them are a variety of beads, some fairly thin yet sturdy cord and a jump ring. Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and string it through the jump ring. String matching beads on both sides. And tie it off with a double knot. So simple, yet so pretty. Here's another variation: Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and thread it through a jump ring. Tie one or two beads on one side and tie it off with a knot. Make the other side longer with additional letters and beads before tying it off. Make a variety of lengths, colors, patterns and phrases so no two are alike.

Debilitating Disappontment

The things of this life tend to disappoint us. People aren't who we'd like them to be, events we'd hoped for never occur and things we'd expected to happen in a certain way never come to pass. I've tried relying on everything else in this life - relationships, career, better finances. When we look to mankind for answers or for hope, we will surely be disappointed. Our own misconceptions of life's circumstances leads us down a long, dreary path. What we plan and see inside our head doesn't always match what others see, or what may actually be reality. Looking into ourselves for "clarity" directs us straight to depression and failure. Have you ever heard yourself say, "I couldn't care less" and truly meant it? Having confidence in our own power to change our outlook means that we care more about the circumstances themselves rather than how to grow as Christian women. God is the only unchanging factor in our uncertain world. Focusing on
