Todays cards have been created in the same way, using the same products for each one. From the back ground to the finish and all could be found on my desk top from previous projects.
The backgrounds are from embossing folders, some of them are from Altenew, that I have added ink to and then run through the machine
I have trimmed the panel, to fit onto a matching mat, and then wrapped it with lace and ribbon before adding to the top folded, white base card.
Each one has a different sentiment and die cut topper on the front.
They are all 6x6 and I created eight in total from the bits and pieces I had lying around.
They are all different colours too.
These flowers have been glittered before adding to the card and then I have added pearl in strategic pace on them, and the butterflies.
Its surprising what can be achieved from left over die cuts that can be found on ones desk top.
For this one I have used lots of left over flowers that are in plain white.
But once they are layered up and a pearl centre added they can look so pretty.
The lace is the same on each card but the ribbon is different.
It was most definitely playtime and I spent a pleasant hour or two creating these cards. Not a lot of work was involved in creating these as most of the stuff was there all ready to use.
Just a bit of glue and some foam pads are all it took.
On this card I used a little die cut house that was created from a magazine freebie I got a long time ago.
But it just seemed to fit with this New Home card, and I am sure that some one moving into their own home would really appreciate this card.
I also had some Card Stands left over too and so they were added to the matching card.
I added them with an envelope and placed them inside a cellophane bag, and they are now in my Charity Shop box ready to go the the shop.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
