NO CRICUT ?????

Thats our challenge at Emma's "Throwback Thursday". Cardstock, pattern paper, scissors, glue & stamps is all we can use. I hope card board counts???
Here are three cards I made today using the packaging from embossing folders I bought this week. These images were on the back , so I cut them out thinking I'll use them somehow one day! With the challenge this week being No Cricut I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to see what I could do with them.

The 3 cards are 51/2 in square, I added pattern paper, lace, buttons, ribbon etc.
The scallop border on the pink one is from a Martha Stewart Punch.

I love using paper doily's! There is a little glitter on all the images.

How cool are these embossing folders.......they are from Craft concepts.

There is always a use for everything..........Hope you like my "Recycle Cards"

Enjoy your weekend

  2. Lovely Tracey. You use the doilies so well,,i hope Emma never has a challenge asking us to use doilies as i can never seem to use them at all.The paper i used on my cards is from an 8x8 pack of October Afternoon-Fly A Kite. Expect to see a lot more as its my current favourite.
