I am using a recycled card front, some cotton fabric, pink and white papers and a sheer ribbon. Glue and my sewing machine will hold them all together.
Here is the finished card and bookmark. This photo is a little intense with the color as the actual card is much more subtle.
Super simple and super quick.
Now to package them and get them mailed to someone who can use some pink cheering up.
What are you working on in your creative space?
I also made a birthday card I forgot to photograph and I already have it sealed for mailing.
Do you recycle greeting cards? What is your favorite way to reuse them?
Please share your ideas.
Happy creating to all...
What beautiful colourful creations, sure to brighten anyone's day!
ReplyDeleteI always keep Christmas cards and recycle them into gift tags for the following year. (Only the shop bought ones though!)

This is just fantastic. I'm saving cards now for sure, heck I may even buy a few myself. lol I've been trying to come up with a creative solution to my bedroom wall. The table I'd planned between the 2 bookcases isn't doing it design wise. I need higher and heavier. hmmm
ReplyDeletePretty! Isn't it so wonderful to have a space to play with supplies of all kinds?!
ReplyDeleteyour super simple, super quick creation is super fabulous!!! isn't it fun to play with all of your pretty supplies?!! xox, :)))

ReplyDeletei love what you have done.

Oh gorgeously fun bright colours! I love this! keeley
ReplyDeleteHi...I do recycle my greeting cards..Christmas and otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI save all my cards and with fingernail scissors I cute out tiny figures..that would fit in eggs. I use them in my eggery along with old garage sale jewelry etc. My daughters and Grand daughers get together a couple of time a year..and make egg ornaments. I have a file of cards suitable for cutting..
Nice to do on a winters day or evening..
Thank you for your nice comment.

That is dynamite! I would have never said, "too intense" (even the photo version). I just love what you put together!
