Morning -do you have any hard to use papers? I have a few that are difficult to cut up and love this 12" square one but keep putting it back in the box.
Then I saw this you-tube video. Made 6 little useful cards with just an added sentiment.

Prachtige bloemen kaarten met dit mooie papier Carol.
ReplyDeleteGroetjes Elle-Jeanne
Beautiful paper and makes such pretty cards. I do have some Stampin Up paper which is similar type and has just stayed in a drawer.
ReplyDeleteOh yes!!! It's really hard to use such very beautiful design paper. But if you sea what beautiful cards you can create, then it will be easy.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a problem with you recycling one of my cards. You didn't throw it away, you made something new out of it. I collect the cards I receive in a large box. But when it gets too full, I sort through the cards and see what else I can use.
Oh I know the feeling …plucking up the courage to cut a page up !….well done Carol and such lovely cards as a result…hope you are able to enjoy this glorious weather…take care Margaret xxxxx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful selection of cards Carol, so hard to cot into some special papers
ReplyDeleteThose are the most beautiful floral papers, all the cards are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us at the Alphabet Challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful paper, love the cards you made. Anesha x
ReplyDeletegorgeous papers and beautiful cards Carol......gr karin
ReplyDelete12 x 12 papers pose the biggest challenge for cards, but it's amazing how these cut into such a beautiful little collection. Good work, Carol!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are such a perfect set Carol! Busy papers really are hard to use, so just either toning them down or making is very simple works beautifully because honestly, they're hard NOT to want to use, right?! Gorgeous card with these pretty flowers my friend!
ReplyDeleteThat's great. Well done xx
ReplyDeleteThese are really nice cards! 😍
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards using up 12 x 12 papers Carol, I must admit, I have no fear about cutting down my papers, but!..only after hoarding them for years..ha ha ha..

What a wonderful set of pretty floral cards, it's amazing that they all come from the same sheet of patterned paper as each of them looks so unique. I like how you let the flowers shine in all their glory, adding only a small sentiment and a white border ambellished with a zig zag cut. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Veronika
Such a wonderful use of those beautiful floral papers! The delicate patterns and vibrant colors truly shine in these lovely cards. It’s always a challenge to cut into stunning designs, but the results are absolutely worth it—these are gorgeous!

Oh, we've ALL been there with those 'too pretty to use' papers - until they become 'too old to explain why we still have them'! 😂 Your clever designs are proof that even the most intimidating prints can become something brilliant (and now I feel guilty about my hoarded stash...).
ReplyDeleteThat floral transformation is absolutely stunning - you've turned tricky papers into proper works of art! The layered elements and fussy-cutting are chef's kiss perfection. 👌
Thanks for the inspiration to finally attack my own paper mountain (after one more cup of tea for courage...). And thank you for joining Ally's Angels Challenge Blog - can't wait to see what you rescue from your stash next!
Wow, what gorgeous cards, Carol! The beautiful designer paper looks even better on cards! Each image is a little garden and you can capture the details so much better in this way.
ReplyDeleteI never have the heart to cut such beautiful creative paper. If I really want to use it, I make a copy. ....I'm crazy, I know. LOL
Thank you so much for playing along with 613 Avenue Create.

That's a great idea. I just went through my paper stash this week and my daughter took everything to try to sell. I got rid of 300 !2X12 papers and 1000 6X6 plus tons of embellishments. I was getting very overwhelmed with the huge stash I had. Unfortunately, what's left is still a huge stash.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use that beautiful paper, each card turned out so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to see you joining in at my Garden party, thank you!!
