This one is quick and easy.

I started by finding a piece of paper that I really liked the colors and design of. There are so many places to get this; wrapping paper, craft paper, lighter weight gift boxes- you name it. Find a design you like and go for it.

Then, I cut it into squares and rectangles, freehand, and centered each of the shapes in the middle of the index card (8 x 5 unlined folded in half).

I use double-sided tape to adhere the paper onto the notecards. It holds very well, and is very quick. I don’t have to finagle a glue gun or wait for regular glue to dry. Also, it gives it a clean look; no lumps or bumps or wavy paper that sometimes happens when glue is used.

I typically package six notecards and corresponding invitation envelopes to be included in a gift basket or gift bag.
