Can't do much about the walls so hope they will be careful. Watch this space for updates. 'Project Digger Mole is due to get underway next door as well but will explain that one at a later date. It's all go here!!
It's time once again for the girls in the Christmas Card club to show their makes. We have a brand new set of themes for the coming year and Margaret has started us off with a nice easy one of Anything goes. Not having much time I have just delved into my used christmas card box and selected card fronts that aren't needed for any of the other themes. I managed to come up with the following 3 cards.
All made with card stock made into blanks and then the card fronts cut down to size and a frame added using my Crafts-Too Rectangle dies stitch hole. I adhered acetate between the frames and image but it doesn't show up in the photos.
Card 1 uses gold edging strips and a Britannia word die for the sentiment which is attached to the acetate. Picture front was added to the cream card and then the red frame adhered uses 3D pads for a bit of dimension.
Card 2 uses silver edging strips and a sentiment from my stash. I adhered the card and framework flat on the blue base and adhered the sentment using 3D pads.
So 3 different cards, 3 different looks and 3 different ways of attaching the acetate windows.
Hugs

Wonderful repurpose of received Christmas cards. Your three new cards are beautiful. I have made postcards out of some of my received cards. I mail lots of postcards throughout the year with Love Notes and other Random Acts of Mail. JOYful Creating...

Hi Mrs A,
ooooooooooooooo! it sounds like I am going to have to look forward to such things as my bathroom is being made into a disabled one at the begining of March.
Not looking forward to the upheaval.
Still it will all be worth it won't it.
Great Christmas cards for the Christmas club.
They are all very lovely and have great images.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Good Luck with the refurbishment!!

Sorry to be a day late in commenting, but at least I'm finally having a moment to visit. Sounds like you will have an exciting 3 weeks coming up, and I bet you were scurrying trying to get things ready pre-construction. Yet you always come up trumps with the recycled cards. Each one is so pretty, and I'm loving the festive red on #1 & 3. The gold border trims along with the other extra details you add, make these so special. Adore the cute little Frosty hanging the lights. (and yes, I did spot his red helpers). TFS & Happy New Year. Best of luck with successful remodeling too! Hugs
Great way of recycling, the cards look wonderful. Hope all goes well with your reno's.
These cards are great examples of re-purposing Christmas cards! I love how you've made each one your own with your personal touches! I love the gold and silver touches along the framework - it's so festive and pretty!
amazing cards, I love your recycling and how you used old cards.
Good luck with your renovations.
hugs
Lovely cards, Mrs. A with fabulous edging; love the vvintage look. A perfect way to recycle old to make new; love that idea! Hugs...
Three lovely cards, I never use acetate.... don't know why x

Good luck with the remodeling--never fun while it's being done, but hopefully worth it in the end! Your cards are all lovely, but I'm especially drawn to the darling one with the snowman!
A great start Mrs A, these look wonderful. Carol x
PS Not sure if I thanked you for the lovely card you sent me...so thanks :)
