DIY Thank You Cards

I am always on the lookout for great thank you notes, but lately have not been able to find any that suits me. I used an image of my good friend Piper from a recent Holga shoot. Follow the tutorial below to create your own set of stationary or thank you notes!

I always love getting a hand written note on a great card. So make some one's day, why don't ya?!

Enjoy,

1. Choose your image!
(These were all from my first Holga Camera Shoot!)

Supplies: Photo, 8.5" x 11" White Card Stock,
Colored Paper, Scissors, & Scotch Tape (not pictured)

2. Cut out letters.

3. Lightly tape your letters onto your image with mini tape rolls. (as to preserve the photo)

4. Adhere your image with tape rolls to the bottom of the white cardstock.

5. Visit your local print shop, or use your color printer at home, and copy as many images as you please!

6. Fold your cards down the top.
(I used a creaser, but it is not at all necessary.)

7. Cut your cards perfectly!

And there you have a personalized thank you, ready to go!

Can't wait to send them out :)

Holga Paint DIY

My wardrobe is full of vibrant hues and I thought my Holga camera deserved a pop of color as well! Get out your old camera and dream up a design to suit it. My good friend, Piper, and I got out our acrylic paint and then taped sections off with masking tape to create straight lines, but when we pulled the tape off we were left with a messy edge. So I suggest free handing it! My geometric rainbow print and Piper's pastel stripes gave our old cameras a new life. This is a fun and easy DIY, one not to MIS. Get your Holga ready for fun summer shots :)

Enjoy,
