Easing myself back into non-Christmas projects with the usual start of the month patterned paper and this time picked up my pouch of the Sheet Load of Cards templates from earlier in the year that were already cut …

I didn’t follow the actual sketches but certainly put together some fun cards with the items in the pouches. These sort of half made projects are the sorts of things I take to crops as then I can just get on with something if I’m not inspired to do a scrapbook page and indeed that had been the intention but I ended up scrapping at the last crop and so it’s sat there untouched for some time!

The two cards were easy to put together just grabbing the ready die cut elements and the ready stamped sentiments … I did have to die cut a few additional circles for the first one but that’s about it!

All the cardstock I used was already sitting these waiting to be used and although I glanced at the sketch I didn’t follow it after that point.
I also added in a few additional die cuts like those pierced leaves.

I used the glittery gems to embellish and then the sentiment from Altenew.

Totally disregarded the sketch for this and just created the cluster of strips with an inked circle behind the panel (could have done with this being slightly larger to show more but don’t mind it just peeping out the sides.

This time chose a Waffleflower sentiment and some pretty pink gems for the embellishment.
It was certainly nice to not do Christmas for this and remind myself of how pretty this Crafters Companion paper is that my friend gifted me. Glad I’ve still got more cards to make in this pouch for either future crops or when like today I just need something easy.
Happy crafting!
