I have made two simple thank you cards using a 3 Birds kit that I bought from Crafter's Companion a very long time ago and have never used.
The kit is called 'Card Making by number' and contains everything you need to make 40 cards, two each of 20 different designs.
I think the papers are showing their age a bit but I am determined to use of some of my old stash.
This card has been made following the instructions in the kit:
I added some additional orange card stock and changed the orientation on this one:
I am going to be using a lot more of my old stash in the coming weeks, I really do need to make some room in my craft room.
I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:
Kraftyhands December Challenge - No Squares Allowed
Crafty Sentiment Designs Challenge - Anything Goes
Great idea, think we could all do with using old stash. My paper oddments pile us going down nicely. Love the bright colours

I don't think the papers show their age, unless you're talking about getting them back in the seventies... I think they've got a great retro 70s feel to them.
ReplyDeleteHope your Christmas was a good one Pauline, for you and your family! It's nice to have some time off, no work, loved having the extra days off ;-) What a fabulous idea to use up your stash, they look very festive with the dots! Hugs, Ira xox

What a great idea - I could probably make at least 100 cards with the papers I have on hand! These two cards are very nice and would be enjoyed by any recipient. Making cards for gifts or to send "just because" is something I want to do more of in the new year.
ReplyDeleteSO sweet, Pauline. I am delighted to have you share your talents with us again and I hope you will continue to play along each week. I always enjoy your cards, and love having you join us.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you,

Thanks for the inspiration and I am going to join you, in using old stash! I have so many boxes of papers, it's not funny. These cards are perfect for exactly that. Hugs, Carol S.xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful way to use up old papers Pauline. I am guilty of having so much old stash but must always be buying more. I already have another long shopping list written up. Making cards keeps me sane.
ReplyDeleteMust say I am looking forward to being a DT member.
