Today I used my Claus & Co by Simple Stories to create a trio of cards. I love this collection and had a hard time breaking into it… so many great designs and pieces I want to save them :)
First up I played along with the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and came up with this card. The tags are actually panels cut from a piece of the pattern paper, I just made them into tags.
The next card I created I had fun with. I fussy cut the tree from another panel in the pattern paper and then I mounted it on foam squares. The other bits are pieces of pattern paper and stickers from the collection. I then topped it with a die cut from the Merry & Bright die from Simon Says…. playing along of course with the Simon Says challenge - Die Crazy
Finally, as always I try to create a skinny card to use up the strip of card stock left over when I cut 2 41/4 X 5 1/2 cards from a 12 X 12 piece. I used some of the chipboard frames and backed them with pieces of pattern paper. Of course finishing off with some messy stitching and staples. Both of which I love using :)
All of the cards are created with the Color Q challenge for this week:

ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic and pure Laurel signature cards. I can see why you didn't want to mess the papers up, but it was so worth it to create these great cards. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of cards. Love them all. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
ReplyDeleteI've loved this adorable Simple Stories collection, too! And love, love the cards you've made with it! The small chipboard frame with the round Santa image is such a great idea, and I love that tree you made from strips. The tags are super creative. Love all the vellum snowflakes and stitching and staples, too!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous cards. The two challenges paired really well. I love those colors for Christmas cards. Happy New Year, and thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
