Let's start at the very beginning - Day 7

Day 7 already, I hope you are having fun. Well by now you must have hardly any of your coloured card stock left. So what can we do? Keep using the strips of course but lets make some little gift cards. I love making a pack of gift cards and then packaging them up with some envelopes.

They make a sweet little gift and I don't know anyone that wouldn't love receiving a pack of cards that they can use throughout the year. Each of these cards was sponged around the edge. The sentiment was sponged around the edge before it was adhered to the coloured mat. The banners were adhered to the back and then it was raised up on dimensionals.

Let's start at the very beginning - Day 6

By now you may be running low of some of the card stock you have used the most. I hope you haven't thrown all the little strips out. If you are a true crafter I'm sure you have saved every little bit. Let me show you what you can do with little strips of card. I am also sponging the edges of the images before I mat them on the coloured card. The little strips of left over colours are snipped to form a banner and then layered behind the image. It is all then raised on dimensionals. I think it looks pretty spiffy.

These two have the image sponged and then adhered to the base card. The sentiment and banners have been raised up using dimensionals. On the left Melon Mambo and on the right Tempting Turquoise. So how are you going? Are you starting to want more?
