Peppered
Approaching love and cooking with reckless abandon
-
To create a cheap-in-price, but rich-in-love anniversary gift, I grabbed an old deck of drinking game cards, Post-it notes, a gift bag, a hole punch, glue stick and some stickers. Each card in the deck lists something I love about my partner. The anniversary has now passed, so I’ll share this gift idea with you.
Step 1: I stuck the love notes to the cards and reinforced the adhesive with glue.
Step 2: Then I recycled a gift bag and used the paper to decorate the front and back covers.
Step 3: Inside the front cover I included a personalized message describing the gift and wishing him a happy anniversary. Of course this gift could be modified to celebrate any occasion.
Step 4: Then I hole punched the card suit symbol in the top left corner of each card to ensure they all matched up when I fastened the booklet.
Step 5: To fasten the booklet I used the rope handle from the gift bag to secure the cards. Flash card rings would also work wonderfully!
Step 6: Then, for a little flare, I added the stickers. I’ve also seen this done with Scrabble letters or wooden buttons for another unique touch. Check this link for more ideas.
Step 7: Finally, share the love by giving the gift to your loved one!
