Because my Christmas Aglow papers included cut outs which I used to help decorate my cards, I did not have a full set of six 6 x 6 papers to cut another KCC. I made 3 KCC's:
KCC10,
KCC2, and
KCC1. I only had 1 full sheet of paper and misc little pieces left (besides the sentiment cutouts which can be saved for other cards). I DO feel I've been learning from doing KCC's, and I decided to use what I'd learned to make cards with the leftovers. I got 6 cards:
Here's a closer look at each:
Card #1:I started with a piece of paper cut just smaller than the card front. I inked the edges and glued it in place. Next, I embossed a strip of glimmer paper using Spellbinders 3D Cane Weave embossing folder. This created a border to which I added a leftover strip of another paper and a matted sentiment. The card still felt too plain, so I cut and matted a cut out from another paper and added it to the lower right.
Card #2:
Now I had scraps of the previous paper, and a larger scrap from another. I decided to use them to create a center step card, as you can see. I added a matted cut out to the center on foam tape, then die cut a Sassy's LLC greeting to just fit inside the wreath. I decorated the edges further with greenery from Karen Burniston's Holiday Charms die set. I finished the card by adding a few Jewel Dazzle "holly berries".
Card #3:
This card was what Bob Ross would call a "happy little accident". I was working on this layout and had the 3 narrow strips laid out horizontally when I bumped them and they skewed something like you see above. I decided I liked the way it looked so glued them that way. The background paper is a red glimmer paper. The striped paper is actually two cut outs that I taped back together & used the back side. A matted white strip forms the perfect border to anchor my circle element - again, the back side of a cut out. I matted it on a white piece die cut using Spellbinders Splendid Circles set. As you can see, I added some Jewel dazzles - small ones to the circular element, and larger ones where the 3 small strips come together and in the lower left corner.
Card #4:
This layout was quick and easy. I embossed the card front, the added my two pieces of matted patterned paper as you see here. I added a matted Sassy's sentiment (Spellbinders Splendid Circles die set, and Nellie Snellen's Multi-Frame Flower die set). I added a cut out bird from my stash, and finished with a little baker's twine bow.
Card #5:
At this point, I didn't have much left besides several cut outs that could be saved for other things. I had a matted strip I had thought to use on a different card and changed my mind, a few really tiny nibblets that I figured I'd just toss, and several cut outs. I decided to flip one of the cut outs so I had the candy striped square to help create a focal. I started my focal with a Sassy's LLC sentiment. I matted this with a punched scalloped circle cut from glimmer paper and glued it to my candy striped square. I cut a decorative square using Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Squares die set. I cut red mats for both this focal and the matted strip and embossed both mats using Spellbinders 3D Celtic Weave embossing folder. I found this cut-out bird in my stash, but he clearly needed something to sit on. I decided on a couple of small evergreen branches (die cut from Spellbinders Holiday Blooms). They were too long, so I trimmed them to size and added them with glue so I could glue my bird in place. I used the two pieces I had cut off to make a little embellishment below the sentiment - completing it with a Jewel Dazzle "berry".
Card #6:
I really thought that last card WAS the last of these, but as I started working with the scraps to make tags, I decided to make one more. It's pretty simple. The background was embossed using s Spellbinders 3D folder called European Tapestry. The focal was created using a couple of Spellbinders dies from Fancy Tags Two and a cut out from the paper set.
Then I made a few tags.
Tag #1:
I punched a strip of card stock at one end to create the tag shape & hole for ribbon. Then I added scraps and a cut out to complete the tag.
Tag #2:
This time I started with a piece of gold glimmer paper and used the punch at the top. Then I added some scrap papers and cut outs as you see. A couple of ribbons at the top, and this tag was finished.
Tag #3:
A burgundy card stock forms the base of this tag (again punched at the top). I added leftover pieces - gluing them in place - then added ribbon. Finally, I added some gold stickers to bring a little more interest to the tag.
---------------------------------------------------------
So, that's all of that paper. I threw away a few tiny nibblets, and kept a few cut outs for future projects. I got 51 cards and 3 tags from this set of twenty-four 6 x 6 papers.
