Also it is quite easy to make a bunch of these in one go! I cheated a little with the note cards this time. I bought a note card pack from Kmart and printed the sentiment onto the note card (if you have a laser printer you could do some foiling for the sentiments). Of course you could write the sentiment onto the card directly, but I don't have the neatest handwriting so printing my sentiment was the best way to go.
