Yearbook: Cards

Today I want to share a few cards I created with the May kit - Field Trip. I have two short tutorials as well showing how I put two of the cards together. There will be lots of pictures so lets get started!

Shaker cards have been around for quite some time now. I just want to show you how I made this particular shaker card.

I am using some packaging that I have in my stash. This could be from an emellishment you bought.

I cut this down to the size I wanted. In this case 3x4. I did leave some edge so I could have room to sew.

Using the confetti that was in the May Kit, I filled the bag.

As you see above I put the confetti in the corner.

I think it would have been easier to put the journal card in first, vs. the confetti.

Next I sewed the edges. 

And I cut the excess.

The next step-by-step is shorter. I just want to show you the elements I picked for a journal card to make it my own. As you see below, I set out some embellishments that I considered using on the card and they played around with where I wanted to place these elements. Working with different shapes and sizes.

I loved how many journal cards came with the May kit! So of course I found ways to use them. I used them creating journal cards as well as cards.

I also love to make cards with scraps of the kit. The card below I used a Studio Calico Acetate Sheet to help enhance the pieces of this kit I found laying around. I paired it with a bubble word (which will be available in the Clique Kits store soon!)

There you have it! There are so many uses for the bits and pieces of your kits as well and uses for journal cards to really make them your own and fit your projects and personality!
