I love these ideas. I have loads of index cards in different sizes and I don’t use them very often. You can make your own budget PET tape using packing tape and magazines. Press the packing tape over a magazine picture, soak in water for 3or 4 minutes to dissolve the paper, then rub off paper from back of tape. The picture will stay on the tape and when it dries the tape will become sticky again! Win-win! Another budget idea.

[@Pinkstrawberryz]

That is an amazing tip Kimberly ! Thank you

[@redsable1434]

I love this project ❤️. I appreciate the crafting on a budget videos. Don't really have a lot of supplies yet at my disposal

[@user-wb9xu3kk1f]

Hi, this is Bonnie...I just love your idea of using index cards, I would have never thought to do that. I was making samples of each one as you were making them on the video. :) Thank you for sharing your ideas. :) What I also like about them is that they are simple and easy to make. :)

@@Pinkstrawberryz OH BOY! I am really excited! Especially in todays economy I am trying to force myself to use what I have, find ways to use scraps and those old patterned papers never used. Every time you create things with us, it helps me think outside the box too. PS. I am a PET tape addict, I only have six rolls, but that they are awesome!

Hi Michele, your projects are great for busy Moms or students on a budget! They can be done within just a few minutes a piece, allowing immediate satisfaction of accomplishment! Would you please share which Pet Tape you are using? Is it the Autumn Rose, the Lovely Garden or something else? It’s just beautiful. Thanks for sharing your ideas! ❤

Great ideas. I have gotten cards without lines at Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby. Very versatile. Thanks again.

[@Pinkstrawberryz]

I need to look for those 💕

[@Nancy0162]

I love working with index cards! Don't forget to pick them up when all the school supplies come out. That's when I usually stock up on various sizes of index cards. Look in thrift stores, Goodwill and garage sales, too. You can also trace a round glass if you want that thumb notch and don't have a circle punch. Tags are great to make using index cards and playing cards. That floral tape you're using is stunning!!! So many possibilities using index cards! Great video! Tfs, Michelle! 💗 😊

[@Pinkstrawberryz]

Oh I just love all those tips Nancy! I’m thrifting today so I’m going to 👀

[@artzyyma]

Thank you for sharing these! One of my favorite low cost ways of adding color with few supplies is the cheap water color palettes and a finger spritz bottle (both from dollar tree) you can make it any color, and as light or dark as you please. It gives a whimsical watercolor vibe.

[@Pinkstrawberryz]

Love that!

[@kimbrewer8483]

What a great idea using the index cards & how many ways you made those cute little add-ons! Thank you for the coupon code for the Washi pet tape! I used it. They have a really great variety of tape & stamps! Yes pls do a few more of things like this because I can add them to my albums.❤😁

[@ashleyanderson5533]
