I die cut out the word “happy” and a flourish element from black cardstock and then used the negative piece as my focal point for my card. Behind it I placed the dictionary type paper that is in the kit so it peeks out from the die cuts. I embellished with a few sequins from the store and my card was done.
My next card was all about the patterned paper in the kit that looks like cork. I first made a background layer using the brown cardstock and a muted piece of paper from the kit and stitched around it with my sewing machine WITHOUT using any thread just to poke holes all around the edge. Next I took a butterfly punch and made 9 butterflies out of that fabulous “cork” paper and placed them in 3 rows on the card and put a pearl in the center of each.
My “Hello” sentiment is made using the Jillibean alphas in the kit.
In the kit is this map type paper and I matted it with the striped paper which made me think of air mail envelopes. Do they even still exist? Maybe I am dating myself….lol!
I used the following items from the store to embellish my card. Blue sequins, Flair.
I hope you will pop over to the Paper Bakery store and pick up a card kit for yourself!

These are all so cool Janet, I love the papers!
ReplyDeleteI like all of these cards, but the first is my favorite. Love the flourish and the sequins - striking!

Boy you are some crafty! Love them all Janet, but I must say my favourite would be the "happy" one, where you used the negatives of the dies. Great idea!
