Simple Stationary



Need something cute, cheap and easy to give a friend for their birthday or your mom for mothers day?  Here's some adorable stationary and the steps to making it!

Supplies:
1. Paint and paintbrushes
2. Card stock or plain cards
3. Rubber stamps
4. Markers
5. Ribbon (for gift wrapping)



How do I do it?
1. Paint on the rubber stamp that you have chosen and stamp it on the front of the card.
2. Alternate how you stamp and if you want you can choose multiple stamps in different colors.  I like to choose a design (like a flower) and a word (like love, hope or peace) and pair them together.
3.  Let the cards dry and then add some detail with a marker that compliments the colors you've stamped with.  I like to add dots, zig zags or tiny flowers.
4. Stack the cards together and wrap with a ribbon like a present and you're all set.

These are perfect for gift giving because they're simple, usable and something unique that was hand crafted!  Now go get your creative juices flowing and create some cute stationary!
