Handmade Easter Cards #NYPLRemix

 The New York Public Library Digital Collections feature prints, photographs, maps, manuscripts, streaming video and more. Many of the items are in the public domain and are free to use in art and crafts projects. I chose this 1895 menu cover from the Windsor Hotel for my Easter cards this year. 

Rare Book Division, The New York Public Library. "EASTER BREAKFAST [held by] WINDSOR HOTEL [at] "NEW YORK, NY" (HOTEL)" The New York Public Library Digital Collections. 1895. 


I cropped the image with PicMonkey photo editing software. I enhanced the colors and added the text "Happy Easter" to the print. I sized the image to print at 5" by 7". I then printed it on white cardstock and attached it to the front of a blank card.



I printed the image on a piece of brown kraft cardstock and used a rubber stamp to print the sentiment "Happy Easter" on the front. 
I used a HP Envy Photo 7800 Printer to print the images. I subscribe to the HP Instant Ink program so I can print up to 300 pages a month for $9.99 each month. This program works great for printing art and crafts projects.

I wish you a very blessed Easter. Thank you for visiting my blog. Please share your thoughts in the Comments Section below.
