"Imagine If" Handmade Cards
Hello Crafty Friends! Jeanne here this week with some handmade cards I created using this month's Cards, Tags, and More Kit from Tres Jolie. This month's card kit is beautiful, I love the colors of the paper collection from 3 Quarter Designs "Imagine If".

I decided I would make a couple of cards measuring 5x7 so I wouldn't have to waste too much of the pattern paper ( I hate wasting paper)!
I used white cardstock from American Crafts for the base, then cut some light purple cardstock as well for some added layering. Then I adhered on the pattern paper.

On the card above,
I cut some of the sheets from Imagine If Elements package. Before adhering I used Cosmic Shimmers "Blue Wisteria" Opal Polish along the edges of the papers before adhering to the white cardstock I had fussy cut some images from the Elements sheets, on the handwritten ephemera piece I added more of the Opal Polish along the edges. Next I added foam tape to the inkwell make it look more dimensional. Added flowers from the kit from Little Birdie Crafts with a fussy cut leaf and also added another rolled flower to the main image of the card.

For this card above I changed it up a little from the first card, I did the same process I just didn't add any of the Opal Polish. I fussy cut images for this card as well and adhered them using foam tape for that same dimensional look. I also added some of the cute flowers from Little Birdie Crafts from the kit.
I really love doing a little layering on cards and love to fussy cut. This kit had beautiful sheets of paper and I'm excited to be back to share a tutorial using this kit once again. I hope you will be back for that and in the meantime visit our blog where the rest of the Tres Jolie designers share their crafty makes!!
