Recycled Natures Beauty

Hello friends - it is Friday nught here and I am sharing a card using recycled packaging as my patterned paper - from my DD1's tea cup - I am sure you would agree it is too pretty to throw away.

The Nestabilities Royal Circle Etched Dies has been cut in half and placed either side of a pink Nestabilities Celebrations Pierced Squares Etched Dies using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares onto .  The teal medallion has been cut using the Shapeabilities Nestabilities Royal Circle Etched Dies Etched Dies - this has been adhered using liquid glue.  A snowflake has been popped up in the centre of the Nestabilities Royal Circle Etched Dies using 3D Foam Squares; this has been popped up onto a pre-cut card base also using using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.

Want2Scrap white pearls have been coloured using Chameleon Pens and adhered to the centre of the Nestabilities Royal Circle Etched Dies. Nice and easy but so pretty - we have so many items that we can recycled - I love the uniqueness of this card - and if you are wondering - the cup is the same pattern and just as bright and pretty!

Recycled - Nature's Beauty

Hello friends - today I am sharing a card using recycled packaging as my patterned paper - from my DD1's tea cup - I am sure you would agree it is too pretty to throw away.

I have popped up a white Die cut from the Spellbinders Fairmont Labels using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.  The bird from Fiskars has been stamped using  Imagine Crafts Memento Ink in Teal Zeal.  This has been popped up onto a precut card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.

A strip of Yellow Braid has been glued along the base of the patterned layer, three buttons have been glued to the braid and Want2Scrap white pearls have been adhered to the centre of the buttons.  Nice and easy but so pretty - we have so many items that we can recycled - I love the uniqueness of this card - and if you are wondering - the cup is the same pattern and just as bright and pretty!

Restored Notice Board

Hello there Blog Friends - I hope you have had a lovely and relaxing weekend. For those of us in the Southern Hemisphere - it is the last week of summer....funnily enough, tonight we had rain and thunder - love that!

My husband picked up a Notice board that was in need of fixing - it had a few little things that needed fixing but not too bad for $4.00 and I LOVE to recycle!!

It quickly became a joint project with the Hot Glue Gun being the hero - DH glued down the backing that has become unattached - don't you love the Hot Glue Gun!!!

I had some lovely vintage buttons that were perfect for the crossover sections.  The 'shank' at the back of each button was removed - once again the Hot Glue Gun to the rescue when attaching the buttons.

Some twine braid was also added, typically AFTER the buttons has set, so it was tucked under the buttons and glued down - as you can see the buttons add a lovely touch and are definitely a focal point!.

I hope you are inspired to recycle/upcycle things before rushing off to get an updated one - it can be so much fun!

Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!
