Selvedge Scraps/Improv gift cards: Scraps 101

To make these I sewed selvedge strips to a piece of cardstock ...

then sliced it up and sewed the strips onto other pieces of cardstock.  This is project 28 of Scraps 101.

Gift cards: Scraps 101

I made these gift cards by folding an A5 piece of cardstock in half, adding a small dab of glue to each scrap and then machine sewing a row of stitching. The bunting cards are project 2 of Scraps 101; the washing line cards are project 3.

The next two cards use corrugated cardboard for the bird shape and scrap fabric feathers which are pushed into the cardboard or glued onto the body - the key to these is the direction of the corrugations in the cardboard.  This idea is from "Recycling Things to Make and Do" - these two are project 4 of Scraps 101.

What a Hoot!

I've made a couple of cards recently, here are some pics.  The one below is from a free owl template available at Blue Sky Confections.

The paper is origami paper, I've got it in three different colours, this lovely pink one and also yellow and green.  My thing for cards at the moment is silhouettes using this origami paper - elephants, angels, T-rex.  
 

 

I think the T-rex one needs more definition, so I might go around the edge of it with a gold pen, which is what I did with Queenie below.
