These cards have been made from one sheet of handmade inked paper and the same die using both the negatives and positive pieces from the die cut.
I have got two for one and nothing is wasted and they all look different. Each of the square pieces have been added with a foam pad underneath
I have used gold and silver mirror card on them to make the sentiments stand out and other little die cuts for decoration.
But they have all been leftovers from other projects and I think they have created some really pretty cards.
I always cut extras when I am die cutting for the times when I have no inspiration.
I go through the extras and see what can be produced to make cards, and once I get going the inspiration comes back.
It saves me money, there is no waste and it helps to fill my charity box at the same time. So nothing is lost.
Here are two more, with different colours for the paper but the same die and silver mirror card for the sentiment.
I have more that I won't add just yet but here there are six cards to go to the charity shop and make the manageress happy in the process
Hope you like them too
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
All lovely cards Christina. Good idea to cut extra, we all loose our mo-Jo occasionally.

Good Morning Christina and all that visit today. Ohhh my what lovely cards today. I love it when you show us makes from your left overs. And I have to say I have become addicted to this so much that I find I am running out of bits and bobs to do it with. But it's a great feeling knowing that something has been created from something that would end up in the bin, and the most satisfying part is, you get great compliments from the recipients. Ohhh my ... If only they knew... lol . Where would I be without you. Thankyou Christina. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today . Please stay safe and well 🙏 . Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
