I have been working on getting the pages from
this 2012 handmade calendar made into greeting cards. I was fortunate that I had used 4.25" x 5.5" as my format for the focal elements of the calendar so it was reasonably easy to convert them into A2 sized cards. I used my heat gun to heat the back of each page to make it easier to remove the art work from the pages. In most cases it was just a matter of trimming the background to 4" x 5.25" and adding a greeting.
For a few I removed some elements and replaced them with others that were more appropriate for a card. This happened most especially on the foil backed first page which had ART in the center. I removed the red heart and added three silk flowers over the packing tape transfer to hide the letters. Worked very well.
It was a fun project and I have another 12 cards to add to my stash!!
