Why give generic store-bought greeting cards when you can make your own? Especially when it's as fun and whimsical as these. Oh and did we mention it only takes a minute to make?

MATERIALS

• 1" circle lever punch
• Pink paint chips (in shades ranging from light to dark)
• Single hole punch 
• Scissors
• White/gold twine
• 5" x 7" blank white card
• Double-sided tape

HOW TO 

1 Using the lever punch, punch out seven circles from the paint chips (one per pink shade).  

2 Using the hole punch, make a hole near each circle’s edge.

3 Cut a piece of twine 13" in length and knot the ends.

4 Slide the circles onto the twine in order from the light­est to the darkest shade.

5 Lay the twine on top of the front of the card and arrange as you like. Secure the circles in place using double-sided tape. (Note: The twine is not adhered to the card; it remains loose.)
