All occasion cards made up using small handmade paper sheets, embossed vellum and die cut embellishements


I had a few of these card kits leftover from my second card at my September Card Club.  I dug out a few more sheets of handmade paper and made up a few more kits before getting them all made up.  You can see again that I changed things up a bit as I got going.  

For this first one I embellished the die cut with gold foil on the back, a star brad which I coloured to coordinate with Sharpie and then added dots of red glitter glue.  I embossed the handmade paper with a snowflake embossing folder (CB), the vellum with a different one and then layered them wrapping the vellum behind both of them before I added them to my card.  I added the tree with 3Dfoam tape. 

The teal one has a serendipity heart die cut layered with silver cardstock which is scalloped and paper pierced. 

I added paper piercing to the handmade paper sheet before layering it and then added the embossed vellum and tree.

I tore two strips of vellum for the butterfly one and arranged them in a cross and layered them on the paper pierced handmade paper before layering them over the decorative paper and card front. 

The brown one has dark gold vellum wrapped on the onion skin handmade paper sheet to which I added two dark brown leaf die cuts (TH) and a little fussy cut button which I tied on with cording.  This large layer was added to the decorative paper on the card front. 

I embossed the green handmade paper sheet, added to the green paste paper then the strip of vellum wrapped around all the layers.  I added the hearts and then three iridescent sequins with small white brads before adding this larger layer to my pink card front. 

For the last brown one I tore a very slim vellum and added to the onion skin handmade paper.  I added a wider strip to the decorative paper.  I layered them and then added the brown leather leaf with cording and a brown brad through all the layers before mounting to my card front.   

Really enjoyed adding different elements and using the ones I had in a different way!!
