New Cards Made from Old Stock

• Great Recycling of Old Stock

Clearing out another box of craft items, I came across items from an old Create and Craft kit. I had used  the papers and cards from the kit but still had some panels that I could not bear to part with and had packed them away. It must have been at least 3 years ago maybe even 5 years. 

When I tidy a big box I usually take everything out onto the floor and then divide them into lots going to charity and items to keep. When I came across the panels I still wanted to use them so put them one side to think of a design. 

The tabs came in pairs with one for the top of the card and one for the bottom

Some form of embellishment connects the tabs. My new design provided a card and gift in one, as I decided to join the tabs with a book mark. 

I was able to make 10 cards with the 20 tabs I had . Here are the finished cards bagged ready for sale. 

A happy evening spent using up these lovely tabs, some oddments of ribbon and some bookmarks I laminated and mounted with a single clear pad so it can be removed easily for use.

Back soon
