I am having fun creating cards from my Christmas paper stash!! For this one I chose three pieces of commercial handmade paper which features red dots and silver glitter!! I adhered them on the front of a red card front spacing them evenly and then added two little strips of silver ribbon in between them. I tied the card front using some fine silver cording which I tied off on the left and then mounted a chalkboard greeting from my stash over the strands using 3D foam tape. Love it!!

Tea themed photo birthday card
A card created using a photo from a tea related 4" x 6" photo calendar created by my sister, Sylvia. This was from last year's calendar which I got for Christmas in 2016!! Love this photo of a beautiful green heart shaped tea cup with a small pink peony on the saucer over a battenburg lace doily. This is my favorite colour combo - pink and green!!
I trimmed the photo to 3.75" x 3.75" and mounted it onto a green layer which I had stamped at the bottom with light green ink using a textured background and a leaf (SU). I mounted this large element to the front of a dark pink card and added a laser printed birthday greeting (Birds Cards) punchie (SU) which I sponged with green ink all the way around and a bit of pink in the center using 3D foam tape. Love how it turned out and relatively quick to put together!
If you are photographer/scrapbooker consider taking some photos that would work in your cardmaking and getting creative with them!!
