A Thank You card today, using a couple of dies I won recently over in the Playground.
A friend recently asked me if a large 2018 Cath Kidston calendar was of any use to me for recycling to make cards. Well..... she didn't have to ask twice! The floral paper I used here is from one of the pages in the calendar, I think it was actually the front cover. The frame was made with a MFT 'Stitched Diagonal' Cover-up die. I love this die and I can see that I'll be using it for lots of different occasions. I used Impression Obsession 'Thanks' die, backing the paper with a piece of an adhesive sheet before die cutting to make it easy to attach to the card. The flower and leaf are punched shapes. All the plain card was snippets, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Playground.

I adore the colour combination and the pretty floral CK design from the calendar works beautifully, and the punched flower and leaf is a great embellishment as a finishing touch. x

Great card Liz and good recycling...what fabulous dies!
ReplyDeleteI love the layout and that is a beautiful pattern paper used for it. I like that it was used also for the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing bit of re-cycling to use that very pretty calender and that super die together.
Love this supper gorgeous card.
I hoard lots of items in case I need them perhaps too much and then forget I've got them to use.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
