Sending Love & Hugs
Good Sunday morning all! I decided to share this card with you today because it was made from the leftovers from yesterday's card! I cut a piece of white card and embossed it with the Padded Quilt embossing folder. Next, I used the butterflies that were cut from yesterday's card so you can see the strips of colour from that background in each of the butterflies. I attached them to the card by gluing just the bodies of the butterflies and leaving the wings free and bent upward slightly. I cut the Sending Love & Hugs die in black and glued it to the lower corner of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8" in size.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I had to take a double look before I realised that this was made from yesterdays waste, fabulous way to use them up, this is fantastic, love it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. This is a stunning card. And who doesn't love a butterfly card. There is so much you can do with them. And of course I love this background. I looking out for it but to no avail. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏.Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Morning Sue. I thought this card looked familiar and then you told us it was made from the cut outs from yesterday's card. Like Ann Topp, I am also still trying to find this embossing folder. I don't know whether Creative Expression are likely to get it back in stock. Thanks for sharing this card with us.
A gorgeous card and we all love a ‘Too far’ don’t we? I’ve just had a text message complimenting me on the card I made for my brother in law using the padded quilt embossing folder. It’s one of my favourites.
Hi Sue, so sorry I missed yesterday. I do love your cards made from scraps and the butterflies on the sparkled background were beautiful. Here we are again today proving that you waste nothing by using the 'left over' butterflies on the gorgeous embossing folder (that so many of us wish we could get our hands on) and making another stunning card.
