All occasion cards with small photos, decorative paper backgrounds and various embellishments


After playing with little photos last week I decided to continue the fun and made these cards.  I had sorted the photos into sets of four for this large birthday card.  I found a set of envelopes in my stash that would nicely accommodate the 3.75" x 3.75" element so I made up a whole bunch and then made them into cards.  You can see that I added decorative little embellishments to the first three.  I cut a label in two and mounted each piece to the back of my large photo element, added an eyelet to each of them, embellished them with faux stitching/paper piercing and then added fiber.  I mounted the photo element to my background paper, used double sided tape to secure the ends of the fiber to the back and finally mounted this large element to a coordinating card front.  The ones to the side all feature paper strip embellishements.  Some with eyelets, embossing and one with green fiber as well.  The ones below have ribbon, vellum, eyelets, paper flower and a metal heart as embellishements.  These were very much fun to make and the little photos work so well as design elements.  Therese
