Motorcycle recycled

 Good Morning All

I made this card by recycling one sent to john in November.

I do this with all the handmade cards I receive.

I added an offcut of hessian and some papers I bought on a destash site afew years ago.

A great man card.

A recycled card

 Good Morning All

As you know, I do order some craft goodies from Clarity stamp  in UK.

They always include a card in the parcel so I do like to recycle them and this is my latest one.

I may send this to my Mum as she is very deaf now and so its very  near impossible to talk to her on the phone, so I like to write in a card and send it off to her.

3 cards and Scraps

Good Morning All

Today I want to show you 3 cards made in the same way and using some scraps.

All have an LOTV Topper on which is  suitable for a Boy.

 

I used scraps of a similar or matching colour and made a sunburst pattern glued onto a piece of card to lay ontop of the card blank, then I trimmed all sides.

Something abit different but looks good I think.

3 Man  cards for the charity box too.

Now I know we all have a box or drawer full of offcuts of card and paper.

On my desk I have a small stack of A3 paper that I work on, they get covered in ink and writing and glue etc. 

So I decided to glue some scraps onto the top piece like a collage.

This is my first one.

Then I cut it in half to make two A4 sheets to use as pages in a Junk Journal.

They will look OK I think  once stamped on or decorated with ephemera or pockets.

Hope you are all keeping well and staying safe.

Did any of you go to the pub now that they are open in UK.

An area in the north of Spain has gone back into lockdown due to a large outbreak of Covid again.

I hope it doesn't spread again.

Re-use Birthday cards

Good Morning All

Getting so hot here now, we have even discussed about moving the bed so that it is directly under the ceiling fan.  Yesterday was 30º at 11am, definitely pool time, I did have my first dip of the year last week.
******

I wanted to show you these two cards I have recycled from my gorgeous Birthday cards HERE that Lyn and Val gave to me.

When anyone gives me  a handmade card I cannot throw out so I have to rehash it into a card for the charities.

 This is the one Lyn gave me, so gorgeous.
She had printed a sentiment personal to me so I removed that and cut a X Cut doily to replace it with.  I think the die Lyn has used is a Tonic.  I found some peach coloured card in my stash, very similar in colour to what Lyn has used, to mount the doily on.  I re stuck the butterfly to act as the stopper for the easel and voila, a gorgeous card to raise some money for the charity !!!

This is one Val gave me, I just took the lacey top off and re-mounted onto white card and that was it.

Added a ribbon and pin, so beautiful.

I have two very talented friends.
