Fun Fold with Flowers

Hello!  This card was made for the Monthly Mix Challenge at Gina K Designs. We are to make a fun fold card and to create a pattern paper with Gina K Stamps to use on our card.  I used stamps and a die from GKD Whimsical Wildflowers set. The image on the front fold was created using the Faux Cloisonne technique that I recently learned about from the CAS Mix Up Challenge here.  I used the glossy magazine page shown below to create the focal image. I use the same die to cut the image and also to partially cut the edge of the front flap of the white card base.  I attached the cut out image to that edge. My patterned paper that I created is shown on the left and right folds. Added some GKD Ribbon and a sentiment from GKD Wild About You Set. Used GKD Fresh Asparagus Ink and Distress Ink Fossilized Amber.  I will be including a message on the inside of the card when I use it.

Christmas Carols from an Old Songbook

Hello!  I came across an old Christmas Carol Song Book that was a free giveaway from an insurance company in the 80's, I think. 

I thought the pages of songs would make great Christmas cards so using some solid card stock and old patterned paper in my stash, I created these cards. I simply cut or tore the pages and attached to a layer of patterned paper and then to a solid color base. I distressed some of the pages by crinkling and sponging with Distress Ink.  One page I dry embossed.  Patterned Papers are from Webster's Pages and Cardstocks are Gina K Papers.

This was a great way to recycle the song book and use up old stash.

Thanks for stopping by.
