Good Morning everyone
Today is another batch of patchwork style cards. These paper off cuts were hiding in the bottom of my Christmas box from many years ago so it was definitely time to use them up! They were only narrow strips so i die cut them into small 1.5" hexagons to start with.
6x6" Kraft card base. After die cutting all the hexagons i inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink and got arranging them onto a die cut a stitched square of kraft card smaller than my base and cut off any over hang of the edges. I mounted the panel onto the base with foam tape for a bit of dimension - using 1mm foam they will still go as a small postage stamp here in the UK.
I die cut my sentiment from ivory cardstock as it matched the tone in the paper better than white and mounted it onto a die cut kraft card shape and added to the base. I added a few glitter highlights to finish.
Version 2, the same but different
I managed to make 8 cards so not bad from scraps😃 Im not sure what brand the paper pad was as last its cover eons ago
Items Used:
Christmas papers
Stitched hexagon dies
Stitched square die
Sizzix framelits die 658204
Tonic sentiment die
Kraft card
Vintage photo distress ink
Diamond stickles glitter glue
