Earlier this month I shared a whole batch of cards I had made from the leftovers from the Making Cards magazine papers I had put into pouches for the patterned paper projects this past year. Well I have two cards left that I thought deserved their own post!
The paper is just the background in a square for these cards – and then I went to town with die cuts! Firstly the large sentiment die cut is a magazine one – for one I used the whole die cut – for the other I snipped off the sending as it hadn’t cut quite right!
I used green card stock and a spellbinders die for the wreath and then the fabulous Alex Syberia dies for the floral and foliage elements – so so pretty!
I changed the colours a little on the second one to add in the lilac.
I also teamed this with the darker blackberry bliss I had cut the main sentiment out of.
This time I also added in some smaller lilac flowers using the same spellbinders die set the wreath was in.
I finished off both cards with the foiled sentiment and glitter glue for the centre of the flowers.
Both panels I mounted onto green and then onto the 6×6 card blank.
Inside each card I just added one of the flowers! A cute addition to the inside.
I loved making these cards – those dies are just so adaptable to different themes of cards and I love mixing companies together to make unique cards.
And so that’s the end of the Making Cards magazine paper projects for this year! Such a lot of fun and some very different projects and styles!
Of course I still have so much patterned paper in the stash I suspect that the challenge will continue to use them up at least once a month … but you will have to wait till the 1st of the month to see what my plans for 2026 will be!
Thanks for joining me on my creative journey this past year!
Happy crafting!
