Last weekend we had our house warming party! I got busy with the decoration straight away… well, at least with the planning. I generally love garlands, because they are fun to make and they give such a wow factor (if you make enough of them of course). I used all of those greetings cards that we have received for our engagement and wedding, because I would not like to throw them out (but I can’t keep them either). I absolutely love reusing something that I already have! We simply (me and Vicki) have made many heart shapes out of the greeting cards by using this heart hole punch. They are easy to find in many craft shops, I am sure one of the Tiger shops would have them ;-). Vicki even cut out some of the shapes that she found on the cards. Here you could find even more hearts, birds, flowers and even butterflies!!! Meanwhile I started connecting all the card shapes with needle and thread. Leia was really eager to help, mainly because she believed that we are making a new toy for her. But we did include a cat shaped card figure on the garland which we thought was super cute!!! :)Hope you feel inspired for your future parties to come ;-)

What a great idea to use the cards you received for your wedding. It gives the garland something extra special!
Thanks for the inspiration!
