| 3 D Decoupage Easel Card |
Sharing a 3 D Decoupaged Easel card with recycled paper bows .
Knowing how to make a paper bow is quite a handy thing as it can help transform your gift wrap into a thing of beauty! With a lot of festivals going on there is a lot of gifting all around. Sharing a super simple tutorial to make quick and easy paper bow.
By now I think my blogger pals know how much I love recycling - The moment I see something that should go into the rubbish bin I try to see if there is something pretty I can salvage and I am so glad I salvaged this medication advertisement.

I cut out the checkered borders to make the paper bows and use as borders for my Easel Card

Hope I can inspire you to look around you and salvage some paper to recycle! In our home I have made even my noncrafty hubby collect all sorts of junk which he dutifully tuns over to me saying " you can make something out of it!"

Wonderful use of recycling : ) Gorgeous card- love the birds!
ReplyDeleteI think it's hilarious that your hubby find treasure in trash for you. So cute. I would not have spotted that checkered border. I looked at that sign and thought, "what did she use from here?" I didn't even see it... I had to read and had a real "duh" moment. Maybe I need a big thinking overhaul. The checkered bows and borders are so cute. And, I love the paper bow tutorial. You are the best at seeing beyond what is there into what could be. Fun and fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed very nice of you to teach what you make. That should be the spirit behind a true creator! This is a lovely card!
ReplyDeleteI love the decoupage part n the bird are super cute:)))
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Love the bright colours. Hugs Mrs A.

This must be by far your PRETTIEST card and I love it to bits. Love your bow - so posh! Who could say it is recycled...
ReplyDeleteAs far as the neat ribbon goes - what I do is, rub a glue stick on the wrong side of the ribbon and then stick it on the card pressing down firmly with my hands and often stretching it gently from side to side to make sure it is straight and flat. And I always do it on my cal liberated cutting mat.
Hope that helps.
Coming back to this card, I love the birds. Very striking!
