Papercrafting

  • by

I have a couple more pages to share as well as some cards I made for my friend who is retiring. I’m sure she’ll need a supply of thank you notes so I made two of each design and packaged them up in a clear plastic box.

3Cards
Cardstock: Vintage Cream (PTI), blues from stash; patterned paper: “Wisteria” (Basic Grey); stamps: Fillable Frames #4, Delightful Dahlias, & Mega Mixed Messages (PTI)

Package
I have these wonderful plastic boxes, but I have no idea where I purchased them. They are perfect for a set of cards. Add a ribbon, flower and a gem and it’s done.

The first of the layouts I did in a Basic Grey class at CKC Buffalo. I’m not a fan of doing pages without the photos but when I was going through the pile of photos from California these seemed to work. The page layout from the class included multiple tags which I eliminated.

Patterned papers: Basic Grey; Spellbinders tag die; buttons (PTI)

One of the best things about staying in California for a week is the time we have to just hang out together.

  1. Great idea for a gift,Karen….and such lovely cards.Love the LOs as well…and quite agree that it’s difficult to do without the photos….but it worked perfectly.
    In answer to your question….I’m going to make a backing canvas for the houses and then mount on the wall.

  2. What a really thoughtful gift. It is bound to be very gratefully received 🙂
    One of the big Sunday papers today had an article about taking photos from your window seat and they are looking for submissions for a gallery..I thought of you!
    You can send them to travelpictures@sunday-times.co.uk/travel

  3. Beautiful gift cards & packaging! I’m sure your friend will love it. And I love your layouts – the distressing on the first and the design of the second. Thanks for sharing!

  4. The cards are beautiful as per usual, and gorgeously packaged!
    I love seeing layouts by other people with papers I have and have used – the walking with Sadie page uses papers I really like and have used quite a bit – the flower is striking on the left side. I always love to see examples of everyday pages, seeing people in their element and writing about that is one of my favourite things!
