If you regularly purchase digital scrapbooking kits, then you have these in your stash.

Some designers call them pocket cards. Others call them journaling cards. But regardless of what they call them, you should think of them as versatile little chunks of cutie goodness.

These 3x4 cards in your stash are extremely versatile—if you’ve trained yourself to think outside the box.

Here’s the problem: As they stand, 3x4 cards are of little use to me. I am not a pocket scrapbooker and they don’t incorporate well into my scrapbooking style.

Here’s one solution: Using 3x4s as greeting card backgrounds is not only quick, but a lot of the creative goodness is already done for me.

Here are two examples I cooked up in just a few minutes using two of the cards above.

I wonder what greeting cards YOU could quickly create using YOUR stash of 3x4s. I look forward to seeing them in our Greeting Card Gallery.
