I’ve been trying to think of a fun way to display greeting cards rather than taping them to the frig (HO-HUM!). Seeing LOTS of garland (a.k.a. bunting) on Pinterest gave me an idea for our fireplace mantel. It was super-easy! I used some of the scrapbook paper from my mini-notebook project and the peanut butter lid from my road trip flowers project to cut out circles. I then folded them in half, unfolded them, dabbed them with a glue stick, and folded them back over some twine. I love how festive and colorful Dave’s birthday cards look now . . . I think I’ll leave them up for awhile! ♥
Cute! I think I’ll make one too!!
Yay! It only takes an hour or so! I can’t wait to see yours! 🙂
That’s a really cute idea!
You can have a b-day one as well as a christmas one or any other holiday where you might get a lot of cards.
V-Nice!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Cheers,
Laura
Great idea . . . and you just gave me an excuse to go get some more of that fabulous scrapbook paper! 🙂
LOL! Always glad to be of service whenever an excuse is needed for shopping of any kind! 🙂
This is so gorgeous. I’m going to steal this idea for my little girl’s first birthday!
Aww . . . what fun! I can’t WAIT to see it! 🙂
What a lovely idea!
PS. Love your blog name. Oh & thanks for dropping by my blog! 🙂
Thank you! And you’re welcome! 🙂
This is super cute! I will have to do this some time.
Thank you! Have fun with it! 🙂
Happy Birthday to Dave!! The living room looks lovely! 🙂
Thank you, Danielle! We miss you! xo
Great idea! I like to “use” the cards I get instead of just looking at them. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you! Yes, they’re always so special . . . such a shame to put them away. 🙂
SO cute! What a great idea!!
Thank you, Mad Crafter! It’s still up! 🙂
Cute! Funny enough, our fireplace is almost exactly like yours! I really want to paint the gold black… another project to be done.
How funny! Let me know if you go with black . . . I’d love to see it! 🙂
