Upcycle Greeting Cards and Postcards into Notebooks

upcycle greeting cards

What happens to all the cards and snail mail you receive? Why not upcycle your greeting cards and postcards into little notebooks? I also do this with brand new stationery, because I’m a hoarder of all things cute and pretty. Here’s an idea to get them into circulation and use.

You can get a bit crafty and decorate and make little mini notebooks with your stationery stash, making them into something new! A great way to create happy mail, get creative with the supplies you have on hand and reusing materials again as well. Reuse and recycle, right?

Here’s my process of upcycling greeting cards and postcards…

Looking for some free printable stickers for planners? These designs are super kawaii cute and make a great embellishment for any planner page or spread.

Previously, I sponsored a Sketch Saturday challenge and provided this printable sheet to the design team. They created lovely projects with the designs and now that the challenge is over, I can share with all of you. Take this free printable sheet and incorporate them into your next papercrafting project.

I’m definitely very proud of these cute illustrations I created and I think they would be perfect for decorating all kinds of paper projects. You can use them on the front of a handmade card or to decorate your monthly planner pages. They work for a variety of occasions and style, but always cute and kawaii!

My tip when printing designs is to use the brightest white paper you have and to print at the highest best-quality setting your printer will allow. That will give you the best quality image possible with your home printer. I often use the super affordable Amazon Basics Full Sheet Address Labels – which really is good quality for normal use. With printables and everyday stationery supplies, you can still have pretty embellishments on a budget.

If you love stationery, planners, memory keeping and journaling… you’ll definitely find a use for these beautiful illustrations. I hope you have fun playing with these free printable sticker designs.

FREE Halloween Art Collage Printable

Let’s have some fun with this free halloween art collage printable for junk journaling and more!

FREE halloween art collage printable

It’s that time of the year when all the spooky motifs and Hallowen themed decorations come out. Let’s have some fun with these cute and spooky designs. Halloween is not a big holiday here in Italy. However, over the years I have noticed it is slowly becoming of interest and really it’s just an excuse to dress up and have fun with your friends. So no matter where you are in the world, I think a little spooky fun during the month of October is harmless. Enjoy it while it lasts!

I’m not one who likes actual scary spooky stuff usually, but when you add a dash of cute to it, then I’m all in.

So that’s what this FREE halloween printable is all about. It’s my spooky days design of various journaling cards and imagery that you can print and cut out to use in your papercrafting. Some like to use these printables for memory keeping, but they are also great for journaling and any kind of papercrafting project that could use a Halloween decoration.

Please feel free to share a link to this blog post with your friends, it really helps me out to spread the word regarding my designs and blog.
