Clearing My Table

Today I was rearranging things in my craft room and came across various materials on my table that had never made it into projects.  SO . . . here they are - in projects!

Card #1:

I started with a page from Hunkydory's Midnight Garden Book of Toppers.  These foxes are so cute!  I chose papers to go with them as follows:  Mat for foxes (striped paper from my stash), matted on gold poster board, matted on embossed (Darice Damask 5 x 7) black panel, matted on more gold poster board.  After all those layers were glued in place, I simply added foam tape to the back of the focal and put it in place.  I finished by adding a greeting from Hunkydory's Little Book of Essential Greetings, and a knotted piece of ribbon from my stash.

Card #2:

If you look closely, you'll see that the main part of this card is the "scrap" left over once the die cuts (including focal above) were removed.   I backed it with the floral paper, then colored a "Color Me" greeting for the focal (with dimensional tape).  After embossing the front of the card blank (Spellbinders 5.5 x 8.5 Scattered Fall) I glued the panel in place. Finally, I added Jewel Dazzles in a couple of the corners and called it good.

Card #3:

The background brick panel and leaves (A5 Box Kit from Card Making Magic), and the words (Spellbinders Half Slimline Bracket) were all die cuts I had cut for other projects and decided not to use.  They were just sitting on my desk and I wanted to get them used up.  You can see how I arranged them.  The pink & purple flowers are from my stash - finished off with a Jewel Dazzle center.  Not my favorite card, but something anyway.

Card #4:

I had been given 3 different washi tapes that spoke to woodland animals - along with some stamped animals to go with them.  They had been sitting on my table for some time and I finally decided to use them to create a background and see how it went from there.  This was the result.  The sentiment was another of Sassy's.
