Mini bunting

Trying to empty my scrap paper folder so made two mini bunting strings that will be named once the recipient is decided upon

This is simple triangle cutting (2 inches across the top and 3 inches from top to tip) from past Papercraft society folios and magazine free papers.

Once four stacks have been created (I glued two sheets of the flimsy magazine paper together so I had double sided prettiness to create patterns 3&4), I used a hole punch and threaded the triangles on ribbon to create my strings.

Minimum number of triangles to spell -eventually- ‘happy birthday’ is 19.

I am storing each string in a quick made envelope using a single sheet of craft magazine paper folded and stuck to make an A5 envelope, decoration is another string of bunting ready for the recipients name.

‘It’s the season – to be making cards

I have been recycling an old Lesley Anne Ivory perpetual diary into cat cards and decided to put the Christmas cats into one bundle.

These images just need matting onto card before adding to the A6 card front. I cut the ‘Merry Christmas’ and bow, using papercraft society November kit dies, from the mat card before sticking the image on to it.

Finished with some sequins or gem stones these now make a cat lover’s Christmas kit. Think I like the non traditional colours best.
