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. 

 

Card #1: 

Instead of tying a bow with the ribbon, I simply tied a half-knot so I could have the rest of the ribbon for another card.  Instead of matting the whole pattern pieces, I just added small accents so there was more of the glitter paper for other cards.

Card #2:

 

 

I really like the way these angled stripes worked on this one - not a lot of paper used - big impact. 

Card #3:

The leftover ribbon from the first card was used on this one. 

Card #4:

 

This one used six little 1" blocks of the patterned paper and a smaller strip of the patterned paper - matted with the rest of the gold that was used on the 3 strip card (#2 above).  For the previous cards, I used 2 white card blanks & two Very Vanilla card blanks.  This time, I used 2 white, 1 Very Vanilla, and one Old Olive.
