Here are a couple more cards I have made using the small photos I trimmed from the index cards I received with the photo calendars my sister has given me.
As on my last card, I have chosen photos with similar colours to compile the group of four for these cards. I layered the photos onto coordinating square (1.75"). I created large cards and them trimmed a 2" strip of coordinating cardstock onto which I have adhered my little matted photos. I both cases this left a bit of a gap which I have embellished. On the red card I added a little metal embellishment which I adhered with double sided tape and then tied on both ends using coordinating fiber. On the yellow card I added five little eyelets and then ran some yellow fiber through the two outside one which I tied to my card front once I had added my background paper. I added a strip of red and overlaid with green which I embossed with the Subtle textured embossing folder (SU) before mounting to my card front over the decorative paper I had adhered. I mounted my strips to my card fronts using 3D foam tape. For the yellow card, I used a small hole punch to create an opening in the spine through which I ran the fiber and then brought the end back to the front and tied it off leaving the ends free. I am really happy with these cards and they are off to my Card Exchange partners in today's mail. You can check out the other cards I have made with these small photos - here and here. Therese
