Today I've got two more up-cycled cards using focals from used greeting cards, photos, or calendars - and scraps from my stash. Both are 5" x 7" in size.
Card #1: First up is a sympathy card. The focal was cut from a greeting card and framed with black paper (die cut with Stitched Rectangle Dots & Stars die set from Crafti Potential). The greeting was stamped with a stamp from a HOTP set called Stamp & Punch.
Inside:
This focal was chosen because it had a similar feel to the one on front - but this was a picture we took in the Chinese gardens in Sydney.
Card #2:
The focal on this birthday card was also from a used card - as was the greeting. In person, the picture is simply beautiful with fine glitter shimmering from many parts of it. I simply embossed the card front (Swiss Dots embossing folder by Cuttlebug) and added the two pieces I cut from the card.
Inside:
I'm not quite as happy with the inside of this one. I cut a piece from a Thomas Kincaid calendar - the florals looked very similar. However, being too lazy to use Stickles to add glitter to the surface to match the front, I used a clear glitter adhesive sheet I had. It isn't nearly as nice as the Stickles would have been. I should also have stamped the greeting (Greetings & Labels from HOTP) with a bit darker color, too.
So there you have it. Two more quick cards made from up-cycled materials & scraps!
