The paint chart booklet was good because it has huge blocks of colour in it.
I then spent a happy hour using 3d self adhesive pads (99p for a big packet) to make 30 cards that cost me around 36p each. I found similar cards in Asda - with only 3 3d flowers on - £3.00 each!I stuck the leaves on with Pritt stick and a blob of glitter in the centre made them a bit more special.
This one was made using old gift wrap.
... and I had great fun doing it, although it is addictive.

ReplyDeleteThere are too many exclamation marks in this comment. I apologise, I'm feeling excitable.
these are fabulous - I'm sure the recipients will love them. I have a daisy punch which I think is broken having tried cutting through plastic !

ReplyDeleteI need you here Diane!! with your personal decorative input!
ReplyDeleteBaz is still decorating the lounge aghh!! I could put some of those designs to good use!!
Well done!
Cards can be soooooo expensive can't they?
ReplyDeleteI always thought the punches would carry a higher price tag than that - I'm pleasantly surprised. Perhaps I should pop down to Hobbycraft and take a ganders at their card making stuff.
You've made a great job of your little collection. I'd have ended up with glue all over the place.
