Hello everyone,
LEFTOVERS. one of my most favourite words in the craft room and fridge and also the theme for our new challenge over at Little Red Wagon that is the theme our fabulous hostess Imke has chosen for us.
A great theme and fabulous way to use up your stuff, those little bits of goodness that you pop into a box and say I will use that one day, well today is the day..no matter how tiny your leftover is, we can always use it..AND..I followed a sketch I found.
first three photos are my base..
Kraft matts
and, leftovers
packaging..
scrap papers ( leftovers )
covering the packaging..
time to glue it all together..
one going one way..
one going the other way../
onto the base...three layers
little tiny tags from my stash of ephemeras
postage stamps ( TH )
and ended up with a thick and bulky and fun book card with layers and pockets and all that good stuff without cutting into large sheets, all with leftover bits..
packing turned into a front cover pocket holding tiny tag..
if any papers were a bit small they got split
re joined and covered by numbers of tag..
rustic and flowers go well together..
thick..
but still goes in envelope, just another dollar.
Stands up and no wind is going to blow this baby down..
and there she is..
I may have to keep this one as I really like it..
So do come and join us HERE
Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll see you soon..

How cool is that, great design and I love how you added the packaging in there too, I love your side view picture, really shows how it looks even more. Your scraps all played so well with each other and made for a beautiful project, I can totally see why you would want to save this creation for yourself :)

Such a clever and satisfying use of every little leftover. The way you built up the layers from packaging, scraps, tiny tags, and stamps gives the whole book card so much character and movement. The split and rejoined papers are seamless, and the mix of rustic textures with the floral touches feels intentional rather than improvised. The side view really shows how solid and dimensional it is, and that front pocket from the packaging is inspired. No wonder you are tempted to keep this one.
ReplyDeleteSuper card, Chrissy! I always love to see your process. Card - 1, wind - 0. (:
ReplyDeleteThis is more of a treasure box than a book card! Love your very creative make and great use of leftovers!
