It’s the first of the month which means patterned paper time and this time using Kendras Card Challenge 21!

I made the first five cards for this first video – which also include the cutting and organising for all 15 cards.
I’m using a Crafters Companion paper I was gifted by a friend quite a few years ago and the great thing is that a few of the papers have some cut apart elements to I could use them to create focal points or embellishments on the cards.
I chose which cards to make at random …
Card 3

Card 4

Card 9

Card 10

Card 13

I picked a few different sentiments from my stash of ready made ones – but all birthday ones as those are the ones I need the most in my stash!
I chose to use a few different bits and bobs of stash … gems, doilies… to add bits of texture and finishing touches.
I also used embossing on three of the cards using embossing folders.

A lovely set of cards – more details will be on the instagram!
I’ve already filmed the making of the next five cards in the set – so watch out for those coming soon!
Happy crafting!
