Hi, It's Nora from Nora Griffin! Today I thought we’d make a little something, especially since you’ve seen how I have more than enough supplies. One of my favorite things is handmade cards and here is how I made a little set recently.

I started with an old, falling apart dictionary, tearing out a few pages for the card background.

Next up is picking just the right stamp. I used kraft

colored cardstock for the card base, cut down and adhered the dictionary paper.

I used a paper distresser dragged along the edges to give the card a worn look.

I stamped a tree image right on top of the dictionary text.

Then I took a minute to dig through my ribbon jars to add a little more embellishment.

First though I stamped a greeting and mounted it on the card with foam tape to give it dimension.

The card is all done!

After making three matching cards…I did a little more stamping to tie together the set.

Here’s the set ready to be given as a little gift.
