I grew up in Trinidad with a stunning female hub. My family. I lived with my mom, aunt and grandmother who have and will forever influence my life. Not to mention my aunts and countless female cousins. We were a formidable group when we gathered together every weekend to just be around each other. When I saw these Girl Power images I had to create something with them. These DIY Girl Power Notecards are a small tribute to the ladies in my life – past and present. International Women’s Day is just a few weeks away. Why not grab these images (which are only free this week!) and make some for your family and friends too?

DIY Girl Power Notecards – Instructions
- Open your girl power images (.png) in Silhouette Studio – I used the portrait images
- Create a square and fill with color
- Resize your girl power image and place it in the middle of the square
- Create another square that is bigger than the one you made in step 2 – this will be the white frame or border around your notecard. Make sure the lines of the square will be visible when you print by changing the Line Thickness
- Center your squares
- Repeat for each notecard
- Send to print
- Cut out your notecards
If you want to crop your girl power image before putting in the square, create a square around your image and place it where you want to crop. Select both the square and the image, then go to Object > Modify > Crop
This fun stationery project will take you about 20-30 minutes, depending on the number of notecards you create. If you are doing a lot and own a Silhouette cutting machine (I own the CAMEO 3), use the Print and Cut feature to save time. Let me know how your DIY Girl Power Notecards turn out!
