Smash that paper pad – 3

For an explanation of this project see this blog post from the 11th of April, thanks again to Deb Houck’s Crafty Cottage for the inspiration!

This time I decided to make some mini cards and matching envelopes.  I used the We R Memorykeepers envelope punch board to make some cute mini envelopes to start.

I also cut some mini hearts to decorate and a label for the front to write on.

I then folded some cards to fit the envelope from kraft or cream card stock.  The first two I decorated with simple pieces of the patterned paper and a sentiment.  I also added a die cut mini doily and some adhesive pearls.  The handmade hugs stamp is from a Marianne Designs set and the other is from a Hunkydory set I believe.

This next batch I cut some coffee mugs from the paper and added some scraps of paper and flat backed pearls.  The sentiment comes from a Clearly Besotted set.

My plan is to include these with happy mail.  I’ve still got a few more coffee cups cut out and a few more pages from the pad so I will be back soon with some more projects until I have smashed the pad!

Thanks so much for visiting the blog, I hope you will come again soon!

Smash that paper pad – 2

For an explanation of this project see this blog post from the 11th of April, thanks again to Deb Houck’s Crafty Cottage for the inspiration!

Today my project is inspired by the Stick it Down Challenge which has a card sketch for April.  I thought this would be a great use of the coordinating patterned papers.  I cute panels measuring 9 x 3.5 cm and some ivory card panels measuring 9.5 x 4 cm as mats for the patterned panels.  I added these to some kraft card bases.

I also used two magazine gifts from Bright Rosa by Paula Pascual (the stitched edge rectangle from the Geo Panel Die Set from Die Cutting Essentials issue 62 and the Fern Die from Issue 202 of Simply Cards and Papercraft).

I cut the rectangle from ivory card and inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink.

Then I cut two full size ferns and one little one from two green card.  I glued these onto the panel.

The final step was to add the sentiment which is from the Group Hug stamp set by Marianne Designs.  I cut the sentiment out and added some sticky pads to give it dimension.

I liked it so much I made another four!

I would also like to enter the Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge.
