Paper Crafting Wednesday

Many thanks to : /kellis house for hosting Paper Crating Wednesday!

Go over and check out all the fun treasures, then be sure to come back later for our giveaway drawing!!!

These are some cards i made from templates i purchased.
These are just laid out and not glued yet, so i could show you.)
FYI - I use glue stick or Glue Runner (fab find!!)
to put the papers on. Same for flat lace.
Sometimes use tacky glue, or fab glue, for more textured laces, or buttons etc.

This is a calendar page. I often use these for cards.
Choose a part of the drawing you want for the card.

Lay a template over it and trace, then cut and glue. Add dimensional acc.
( This one i might cut out a little bee from another part of the calendar, or glue a little bow on the pots, or some tiny greenery coming out oft he posts. If you get tooo dimensional, you can always frame instead of leaving it a card)
These are cards i made from Scrap booking paper, again adding ribbons. The dark edges are done by dry brushing with acrylic paint (which i have on hand because i teach painting) Ink would work well too.

This is another part of a calendar page. Hard to see, but i added sparkle glitter to ares to make them shiny.
The 'grass' is stings pulled from fabric to make Spring ribbon.
Oh, and don't forget to decorate your envelopes. Just a scalloped edge makes it a bit more fanciful.

Hope these were not a repeat, and that you enjoyed them and maybe got some ideas for your own treasures. (I am glad to expound on any of these things if you'd like)

Blessings on your day.
