Cards on Wednesday | More Embellishment Bundle Inspiration

Hello and welcome to another edition of Cards on Wednesday.

So far this week our designers have shared some incredible ideas on how to use the brand new Embellishment Bundles. The bundle includes so many fun embellishments all on one card- brads, buttons, badges and twine!

Today me and Lisa Dickinson will share some ideas of how to use these items on cards.

We'll start first with Lisa's cards:

Supplies: Destination (6x6 Tiny Tablet, Embellishment Bundle, Label Stickers)

Lisa carried over the circle motif from the Destinations collection paper by using badges and buttons on her card. This adds such a fun touch and lots of texture to the card.

When I first saw Lisa's cards I thought of how smart she was to create two cards using the same basic card design. Often times when we need a card we need it quickly and don't have time to muss and fuss with the details of coming up with an idea. She made these cute cards and kept each one fresh by using different papers and embellishments. I need to try this idea more often when I am in a hurry and need a card for someone.

Supplies: Sweet Shoppe (6x6 Tiny Tablet, Embellishment Bundle, Label Stickers)

Aren't her cards fantastic?

I also created a couple of cards using these new embellishments and really like the dimension that they add to a project.

Supplies: Destination (Embellishment Bundle, 6x6 Tiny Tablet, Circle and Tag Stickers, Letter Stickers, Chipboard Stickers)

For this first card I used two circle punches of slightly different sizes and punched some holes in my card base. I backed the holes with larger circles of patterned paper and then added a button, brad and some chipboard circles to continue the circle theme on the card. I added the label sticker backed with foam adhesive to add some variety in the shape and additional dimension to the card.

Supplies: Pinwheel (6x6 Tiny Tablet, Embellishment Bundle), Persnickety (Index Journaling Card).

To create the background for the card I cut a piece of cardstock slightly smaller than my cardbase and added strips of random widths. I trimmed down an index journaling card from the Persnickety collection and then used some little sentiments cut from the word bubble paper and added bits from the Embellishment Bundle to finish it off.

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Have a wonderful day and please check back the rest of the week for more ideas on how to use the new Embellishment Bundles.
