Today I have some more alternate projects made with supplies from the kit and a pack of Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes.

Card 1:

Card 2:

Card 3:

Tips:

• The above 3 cards have been created using one of the ‘blue patterned’ cards, matching envelope and supplies from the kit together with three Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes.
• Card 1:
  • I cut the blue patterned card in half along the fold line to give the blue and white patterned piece and a blank Balmy Blue piece.
  • Both the blue and patterned blue pieces were then cut at 1¼” along the long sides to create a 2¼” x 5″ piece and a 1¼” x 5″ piece.
  • The 2¼” piece of Balmy Blue was added to the left hand edge of a Very Vanilla Note Card. The 1¼” patterned piece was attached next to the blue piece.
  • A strip of velvet ribbon was attached over the join.
  • The label panel was stamped with a greeting and one of the blue die cut flowers added.
  • Linen Thread was looped behind the panel which was then attached to the card front using Dimensionals.
• Card 2:
  • This card uses the other two pieces – 2¼” patterned and 1¼” blue on the front of a Very Vanilla Note Card.
  • Once again, a strip of velvet ribbon was attached over the join.
  • The sentiment was stamped straight onto the right hand corner of the blue layer.
  • A piece of a label left over from one of the previous projects was attached below the ribbon on the left hand side of the blue layer.
  • One of the metallic birds was attached with adhesive dots.
• Card 3:
  • This card was made from the envelope.
  • The label panel was cut close all around and fussy cut around the blue flower. A sentiment and splotches were stamped on the panel.
  • Strips of the blue stripes were then attached to the top and bottom of the label panel. The ink spot was dragged around the edge of the panel to give a faux layer.
  • Flowers were stamped second generation in each corner of the Very Vanilla Note card before adding the label panel on an angle.

Card 4:

Card 5:

Card 6:

Tips:

• Cards 4, 5 and 6 were made using one of the ‘pink flower’ cards, matching envelope and supplies from the kit together with three Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes.
• Card 4:
  • I have cut the script card in half along the fold line to give the flower piece and a blank Very Vanilla piece.
  • The flower panel was then cut at 2″ on the short side to give two pieces – 2″ x 3½” and 3″ x 3½”.
  • The envelope was trimmed close to each edge to give the front label panel, and the back pink panel.
  • The 3″ x 3½” flower panel was added to the lower part of a Very Vanilla Note Card.
  • The back pink panel was trimmed to 2″ x 3½” and added above the flower panel.
  • The label panel was stamped with a sentiment and added across the join using Dimensionals.
  • A die cut pink flower was added to the top right hand corner of the label.
• Card 5:
  • The flower images was stamped fourth generation in the corners of a Very Vanilla Note Card.
  • The ink spot was dragged around the edge of the remaining pink flower piece.
  • A sentiment was stamped on a small label and added on an angle across the centre of the flower piece which was then attached to the centre of the card front using Dimensionals.
  • A pink twine bow was added to the lower edge of the sentiment using Adhesive Dots.
• Card 6:
  • This card was created using the envelope label panel.
  • The panel was trimmed to 4¾” x 3¼” and then the label itself was carefully cut out and fussy cut around the flower.
  • The outer part of the panel was attached to a Very Vanilla Note Card.
  • After stamping a sentiment on the label, some pink twine was looped behind it and the label attached to the card front with Dimensionals
• From the supplies provided for 2 cards in the kit together with 6 Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes, I have created 6 cards and still have supplies left over for even more projects.
• I now have 14 cards created from the supplies of only 8 cards (4 cards made straight from the instructions, 4 cards made from the supplies of 2 more cards (see earlier post), and 6 cards made from the supplies of another 2 cards in today’s post) AND I still have supplies left for another 4 standard cards (or even more if I choose to improvise).
