Cards from Digital Papers +

Today I have 4 cards made using digital downloads to print the background papers.  No idea where they came from, but I thought they were pretty.  The first two are made using an art deco style background paper.  I thought it would go perfectly with some of the downloads I have from Debbi Moore.  

 

Card #1: 

I was right!  these images go perfectly.  After printing and fussy cutting them, I matted them on Cherry Cobbler cardstock and then on Basic White.  It's a simple card, but I DO like the way it turned out.

Class Cards Using Decorative Masks

 

I have 4 cards today, from the Lovely Garden Suite - specifically the Lovely Garden patterned papers and the Thankful Garden bundle (decorative masks, stamps, dies).  I also used the Mixed Labels stamps and dies for my sentiments (currently the stamps are discontinued and the dies are on last chance sale).  

 

The four cards are shown below.

 

A Fun Mini Album

This interactive mini album is based on a design by Tamar Perry of Creative Treasures.  You can find some of her tutorials here.  The bulk of the papers are from a discontinued Stampin' Up! set called Season of Green and Gold, augmented with Stampin' Up cardstock and some papers from my stash.  I've designed it as a gift that will include Title options the recipient can add to the front of the album, a variety of colored mats for photos that can be added to the pages and flaps, decorative embellishment pieces that can be added, and a roll of Stampin' Up!s Tear and Tape they can use to add their photos, mats, and embellishments.  In the picture above, you can see what it looks like without the title.  The rest of the photos are a bit of a walk through of opening the various pages and flaps.

Here you see the album with the strap released and the first flap opened toward the top of the album.  The inside of it, with the lovely gold foil pattern on cream, has a decorative flap that can hold a large photo.  The new page that has been revealed has a decorative mat for a square photo, along with a mat that slides into the pocket that can have photo or journaling on both sides of it. 

Do It Another Way

My last post showed 4 cards made with one 6x6 piece of double-sided patterned paper and other papers cardstock, and embellishments I had put together for club members.  I had one of those sets left over and decided to chop up the papers/cardstock in other ways and create 4 different cards.  These are the results.  I'm not going to list specifics of how I cut the papers or what I did, but thought it could be interesting for folks to compare these cards to ones in the last post.  Here's a quick look at them again:

And now for the new cards.
