I am back to leading card making classes at Compassion House. Of course November means Christmas cards.
I am recycling small square Christmas cards. I trimmed the card to 3.75 inches.
I added a layer of white card stock cut to 4 inches and layered that behind the main layer.
The card base was cut to 4.25 x 11 inches then folded with it at the top. The silver blue layer was adhered to the navy card base aligned at the top of the card leaving a small border with 3D foam tape.
A length of white grosgrain ribbon was wrapped around the card front and tied on the front. The ends were trimmed on a slant with scissors.
This card is the same card pieces but put together in a different layout.
I started with a warm grey card base.
I added a Stampin Up Ballet Blue layer cut to 4.00 inches square.
The silver blue layer was trimmed to 3.75 inches.
I chose red grosgrain ribbon which was wrapped around the card base and tied in the front. Ends trimmed with scissors.
The card base is Stampin Up Ballet Blue.
The 4 inch layer is silver metallic card stock.
The ribbon is metallic silver.
Each has a seasonal quarter sheet insert which is glued to the inside.
Loving the colors, the layout and nice and cheery cards.
I had 5 great ladies in this class and all the kits were made. Wonderful.
Making the kits in the same layout really helped the process.
What a wonderful way to recycle Christmas cards! I always feel bad throwing them away after the holidays...especially the pretty ones. I think I'll adopt this a an art project to do with the grand girls.
