Having spent a couple of hours on afore mentioned card, I was flagging a little bit so I decided to have a play with a card kit that I bought recently in TK Maxx. I have never bought a card kit before! The first one I decided to make was this one:
In the kit, the dog tooth check paper was folded in half to form the actual card, but as it felt quite flimsy I decided to use one of my own card blanks and stick half the paper to the card instead. Then, as I had two pieces, I thought it might be fun to try and make another card from the bits I had to hand ...
On reflection, I think I prefer the kit one, but if you don't compare the two, then the second one is perfectly fine and I shall pop it in my box to use when an appropriate birthday arises! Wondering if I will be able to double up on any of the other cards in the kit ...

I agree, both are great, and I think it's a great idea to stretch your supplies like that, very thrifty! I'm loving the colours and the houndstooth, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about getting a Cuttlebug for a while (won some embossing folders before Christmas) so it's nice to hear a rave review from a friend. It's definitely on my wish list. Hmmm, my anniversary's not too far away... Have a great day in (sunny) England! Hugs, Roxy.
Lovely cards, they both look great!
ReplyDeleteBoth are great but I prefer the second one love the thrifty nature of your crafting
