I'm passing this idea on to you as it is early October and there is still time to make your Christmas cards.
This card is made by recycling the cards I received last year. These are the bought version from the shops which I always keep because there are loads of things that one can create with them!
I just stamp squares on the cards and cut them out - even better would be to punch out your squares (unfortunately I don't have a big square paper pucher yet).. ink up the edges and then make a puzzle with them to create your card front.
I will probably be adding to this post this week as I go along with other ideas.
WOW what a great idea! It is stunning as well!
ReplyDeleteThis card is stunning. You have a way of coordinating pieces together. I will keep watching to see what you are up to next!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea....similar to inchies without all of the work of making them! Very pretty!

Seriously! With a June 30th postmark!!!!
Jacqueline, the box has arrived - all in one piece! I can't wait to play with everything!!!! I'll chat with you soon!
That is such a great idea for Christmas cards! I have heard of others using the fronts of cards & recycling them as postcards. I like your idea better...then you can fancy them up! Love this card...just beautiful! I wonder if all of your color inspiration comes from the beautiful country you are surrounded by? Love your work!

This is a really great idea. Your stitching around the edging is what really pulls it all togther. The red gingham ribbon is the perfect embellishment.
