 If you watch my videos or if you have been reading my blog for awhile you would know that I really love to recycle.  And I also love getting playing cards because I use them as journaling cards in my journals or I can make some altered playing cards for ATC(artist trading cards). When I see beautiful backgrounds or images I can't help but think of doing some cards with them.  This is what I have done today in my video .   Here is the series of cards that I have made.  I have to admit to being quite proud of how they turned out. To make these cards I used some of the playing cards that can be found in sets available here in my Etsy store:   https://etsy.me/3qo2SKe The sentiments come from a digital set that I have available here:   https://etsy.me/36f4EGr I hope you will find these to be inspirational for you. Have a wonderful day and week :)

I really love the beautiful set of paper.  It's so soft.  Perfect for spring.  And I used a stamp and die cut set this time around for the image.  I don't often use stamps because I find that it takes me a long time to color them but these were super easy and quick.   I should start stamping images ahead of the time I need to use them and color them so that I can then just be ready when I make cards.  This being said I often like to color the image based on the color of the papers that I will use... dilemmas :)  Here is the 1st card: The addition of the little pearl next to the sentiment were I think the best thing to make it pop!  Got to love all the layers.  Told you the paper is fabulous. Here is the 2nd card: For this one I used some super pretty white seam binding to complete the layout.  I really love how they all turned ou...
