Card One.
Made using Navy card stock. The banner is a Clearly Besotted Clear stamp 'Basic Banners'. Stars and sentiment from my stash. This card is 5.5" square so I needed to add a further panel as once the card is opened out flat it is 14.5". The recycled card is attached to the last panel which folds into the middle.
Front panel has a circle die cut so that the card shows through. Finally you open the card up and there is room to place your greeting inside.I stamped the banner in versamark and embossed with Wow Gold powder and fussy cut out.
Card Two.
Made using Rich Teracotta card stock and the same method. Recycled card was slightly larger so the depth of card is 5.75 and the width still 5.5"
I am slowly sending out the Goodie Bags to the winners of the Spot The Difference games played over christmas. Taking time as though the Click and Drop is brilliant it does take time to set each address up, weigh the packages correctly and then print off the labels. I am also trying to ensure the parcels are in quarantine here for 72 hrs before taking to the post box. I will email each of you individually to say when your goodie bag has been dispatched. I know some have already been received.
I will be posting the answers to the The Birdie Word Search on Monday and a new one will be up and running then too. We have done the birds so it will be time for the Garden Flowers. I actually have 87 on my list but we shall see how many I can endeavour to fit into the grid!

Ooo, what beautiful atmospheric images on your beautiful Christmas cards ValeryAnne. You have also made beautiful models!
You have a lot of work to do with the goodie bags 🙈
Thank you for this.
Dear greetings and a big hug xxx
These look amazing Mrs A, the design is beautiful -a lovely way to upcycle those beautiful Nativity scenes.

Wow what stunning cards. Love the folds and the aperture's. Both cards are amazing and make wonderful Christmas cards x.
Hi Mrs A these Christmas cards are gorgeous. I do love a bit of recycling. Take care. Hugs Jackie
What fabulous Christmas cards Mrs A - wonderful upcycling! And such clever designing of the card itself as well. As you say, Click and Drop is laborious (as I did mention) - but so worth it. Have you set up an address book for future use? I did that for all my overseas Christmas cards rather than have to re-do them! Am unsure about the Grand Draw winners though as I don't like to keep addresses longer than necessary - GDPR and all that.
Stay safe - no word here about jabs.

Beautiful cards! Love the tri-fold format, and a great way to recycle these pretty designs!
Oh wow!! Such great way to upcycling commercial cards!! Love the tri-fold with the circle front panel display idea! I have to remember this, as I have a lot of them, very unused, in a big box. Thanks for sharing!

Two wonderful cards Mrs A, great recycling too. I've never made a tri-fold card like this, thanks for the inspiration. xx
Hi Mrs A
What wonderful cards!
Great up-cycling .. .. .. far better than just putting them in the re-cycling bin .. .. .. which I often wonder what they do with!!
Hope all is well and you had a good weekend.
Love Jules xx
Great re-cycline but both with our own individual touch and great shapes as well.
