The Dollar Store Diva: You’ll want to make a note of this! (Part 1)

Check out the latest installment in the Dollar Store Diva’s Holiday series AND check off a stocking stuffer at the same time!

I love stationery, and I love the notes that are jotted on the stationery. Recently I came across this picture of a note card.  I was riveted by it. Its stark simplicity gave power to the simple message–MISS YOU/LOVE YOU. I was also drawn by the black lettering, with the red heart adding a touch of warmth and color.

Using its FREE printable,  I immediately printed some to give as stocking gifts.

Then I started thinking of other friends, neighbors, and co-workers I could give a gift of note cards to. I decided to design some of my own, with their own simple message, using the black print and the touch of red.

 Miss Frugality that I am, I decided that, not only is the smaller font striking, but it also saves printer ink 🙂

And, of course, I had to create others to share with you. Find my FREE stationery printables here and create to your heart’s content. Tie them with black and red ribbon, and you have a gift you can give with pleasure.

For envelopes, I buy note cards at the Dollar Store simply to use the envelopes. I watch for cards with envelopes that measure 4 1/2 x 5 3/4. [If I’m lucky, I can use the envelopes for my handcrafted note cards, and then I can cut the front off the Dollar Store card and use it as a postcard. Two bangs for the buck!]

But wait! There’s more!

There are two more parts to You’ll want to make a note of this!
