I mentioned these monogrammed cards a couple of weeks ago, and still think they are fun and versatile-especially if you don't mind cutting out with a craft knife. Although, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one without a silhouette machine and a lot of the things I spend hours doing (and enjoying most of the time) have become effortlessly achieved with it, alas. I really would like one . . . someday. So, if you have a silhouette-go make some fun cards and think of me.
If not, come print a monogrammed card and cut it out old school, use double stick tape or glue to add some dimensional paper or fabric underneath. Then mail a sweet note old school (through the actual mail) and make someones' day!
*A few helpful hints:
- only print the page with the letter you want on it-not the whole document. (Use the print range menu in the print dialog box)
- See other printing suggestions here
- For the cards like "A" or "O" or "P" where there is a piece completely cut out of the middle, I just saved it and stuck it on with double stick tape where it "should" go.
- If you're new, or old, at cutting with a craft knife, this is a great tutorial.
enjoy!

Hi Lauralee...
you're not the only person who doesn't buy a machine...
here in Brazil, it's so expensive...
today, my brother is going to Miami, and he will buy some craft things in Joann... everything here is expensive... papers, embellishments, tools...
and thank you for the cards... I'll use them, a lot!!!
xoxo
You're not alone! I love your blog. I dream about that machine too, but I also enjoy using my hands. One day....
I'm a big fan of yours though, so thank you for all of your hard work!
