April D. T. – Cards!
After much delay due to the meltdown of my desktop computer, I’m back with my Mystic Paper design team cards! I had a lot of fun playing with my papers from Graphic 45, Bo Bunny, and Jenni Bowlin, along with the German Scraps. I paired most of the cards with lengths of ribbon and ink, all available at Mystic Paper!
These first two are both small, about 3 inches across. I would categorize them as ‘notes’, and making both of them only took about 15 minutes!
All 3 of these incorporate the German Scraps, a die cut sheet of flowers accented with glitter. There are many different types, with and without glitter, and I was surprised at how easy they were to use. They made my cards look so professional!
This card and envelope were made with 2 different sized squares of brown paper. I simply folded the larger square around the smaller square, and tied the corners together with lace. I adhered buttons to each corner to hold the lace, but eyelets, brads, or any other embellishment could be used.
Obviously, I took great care in straightening the lace before photographing. Enjoy its crooked beauty!
The next two are my favorite. I love looking for unexpected materials to use in my crafts, and putting things together in unexpected ways. I bought these miniature paper bags ages ago, but had never used them. Fitting tags inside and turning them into cards was such a perfect application!
Thanks for visiting- I’m off to collect my May packet already. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this month! Don’t forget to visit Holly and Sheri’s blogs to see their April D.T. creations!
I LOVE them!!! …I suggest making these for next craft night.
they look great! I didn’t c an “Amy” bag…???
Very creative designs, Jenna. I might just have to get myself some German scrap!
I really like the one with the buttons and the fancy fastening. But I love, LOVE the floral mini bag- is that a bottle top? Super Swoon. I see “gift card holder”.
Well done!
(PS my computer will not ‘pick up’ your blog posts. it takes me typically three days before I can see your posts. Weird.)
Oh Jenna – I had not checked up on your blog for far too long! Now from the mountains – I am taking extra relaxing time – and catching up on blogs is on my list. I love all of your creative work, but these bags are extra special and just “grab’ me – -
Your writings are special too! Love you, my talented and creative granddaughter!
Greetings! Hi there…. these are gorgeous… the composition of the cards and projects are unique and lovely… thanks for sharing these… I am feeling inspired!
