Using Up Papers ...

Hi Everybody,

These are some cards that I made from another paper pack that I have in my stash and this one is for the RSPB.

This is part of my personal challenge to use up the  papers I have in my craft room.

 There are some really pretty papers in this pack and I made loads of cards,  plus I still have lots of paper left to make even more.

These four are all A6 size and will fit into a standard sized envelope so easy on the postage.

As well as the papers there are toppers and sentiment strips in there for you to cut up and add to the design.

It is amazing how far these paper packs will stretch and of course these cards will all go to fill up my charity box.

Just to be a little different I made this one into an easel card but it is still an A6 size.

I have lots of paper packs to use up. but eventually I will and I will show you what I make as I go through them.

More tomorrow ...

More challenges ...

Hi Everybody,

The pack that I have used today is from Daisy Mae  but I don't know if it is still available as I have had it for quite some time. 

There are some really papers in this pack, including some plaids and some stripes, and on some of the cards I made I even used the thick card that was the front of the pack

I have lots of papers left yet to make many more cards and I have kept them all relatively flat to fit in standard sized envelopes.

The card to the right is a DL and I have kept the fold to the left.

The panels that I have used are from the Lovely Layers die set and I don't think that it is available either any more.

 But I have had these die cuts in my bit box for ages and so I thought I would use them up.

I have so many embellishments in my drawers and cupboards that I am running out of space for ME !!!

This card is also a DL but used in Landscape and the panel is the same die set as before.

I have used flowers, ribbons and pearls  on these and sentiments from a pack that I bought at the Craft Show

Once again more pretty cards for my charity box and lots of paper left make some more, in another personal challenge 

More tomorrow ...

Personal Challenge

Hi Everybody,

Over the past few days I have been rummaging around in my craft room and I have found several paper packs that I have not used for quite a while.

So I have set for myself the personal challenge to use them on as many cards as I can.

The papers shown here are from the Card Making Magic Pretty Book Collection and it is one of my favourite packs.

I made lots of videos with this set of dies, but I also enjoyed using the papers in the Butterfly Collection set too. 

The flowers seemed to fit just perfectly into the butterfly wings

I have also used up some of the surplus die cuts on my desk at the same time and the cards are all really feminine and cute.

And the gold and silver mirror card that I have used also came in very handy to use as mats for the papers, and the sentiments that I have cut.

Oh! the things you find when you start to rummage ... and they where the Nuvo drops in lots of different colours.

 I squeezed them onto my cards in the place or pearls and they really made such a difference to the designs
 

Here are two of the cards. What do your think, is it worth using up the papers pads to make these ??

I know the Charity shop will be delighted with them once my box is full again and I take them in to the shop.

More tomorrow ...
