Photo Pairing #3

As some of you might know, I have found 1000s of photos and hundreds of blank layouts as we unpack and settle into our home. I’m trying to pair the photos with the layouts in an effort to get them into albums that everyone can enjoy.

These photos (all 3 of them) are from my husband’s high school senior trip. He really likes the layout.

Cards from Scraps

I was certain that I had a craft desk in my studio. If you walked into my room, you needed to look closely to see glimpses of the top. In an effort to dust off my crafting mojo and find the top of my desk, I created some cards.

Here is the Process Video if you want more information.

Hope you find some time to craft!

Craft with Heart Cards

My box of cards from the Craft with Heart Subscription arrived and I truly enjoyed “Amanda-izing” them.

Cricut Design Space File

Added a few cricut cuts from the Serenity Collection as well as Flower Market & Art Philosophy

Serenity Collection

I also used some shimmer brushes (black & Clear) and added some of the left over silver star confetti from the last craft with heart kit.

There is a video showing how I used the extra cricut cuts and embellished the cards.

You can also see the cards here.

Jan Club Card – new fold

Hi. If you are curious about how you can be included the fun at our monthly club night, just ask join our Facebook group “Crafting with Amanda VIP Group” I can then connect with you and share more information. We are currently a smaller group, but active and fun and supportive.

Twisted Gate fold

I found this cute, new to me, folding card and thought this would be perfect for our group! It can power through scraps and yet deliver a big greeting! It fits in a standard A2 envelope. (5 3/4 x 4 1/2)

It’s really a simple card. You can print the instructions and follow those, or I walk you through the steps in this video.

Using up Scraps – Freeform

I had a big pile of scraps left from my Christmas cards and started creating some cards from the pieces. At first I did a few and then decided I needed some flowers for embellishing. So I cut 20 flowers in blue belle, sapphire and whites daisy. I used my cricut to fussy cut the flower from the old Chelsea Gardens stamp. (C1709) Then to finalize the flowers I stamped them with embossing ink and heat embossed them with gold powder.

So now that I had a bowl of flowers I could dive into creating some cards.

The branches and gold leaves are all from the leftovers too. If you like watching process videos, here’s mine from these cards.

Happy Crafting!
