Using up papers...

Good Morning,

I don't know about any of you but i get a little stressed as i have so many papers, i never get chance to use them all up, so today i have tried to use up some free papers from a magazine i have had for years, it wasn't much about an a4 size and a bit more.

I am quite pleased with the outcome, i have made 4 card and still have a small amount of printed tags left.

I would like to enter the Get Well card above into the following

I also heat embossed some text and a game controller onto black card, and stamped a greeting inside using Papermania stamps again i have had for years, the spotty brads are old in my brad stash, the paper star is really old from my bits and bobs box. The only new thing on the card it the digi stamp.

Celebrate...

Today i have a bright and bold card i made.

It is using some old Trimcraft papers. I was sorting through some of my many old magazines and found an article making a card similar to this so i thought i would give it a go. I can't remember where the brads are from, the greeting is from Papercellar. As you may see i have cut around the ballons near the top and also decoupaged some of them too.

Space themed children card

Good evening,

Here is a card i made a while ago recycling an old wrapper from one of my sons Christmas presents( a cardboard fold out space rocket thingy!!) , i though i could use the pictures on a childs card. i cut them out and stuck them to the black card, and i embossed some white metallic card with a sizzix embossing board then rubbed over it with a sanding block. Finally i added some dots using a Sakura pen to the black card to try and make it look like space.
