Jan: Take one sheet


of this beautiful Pion paper that Jean has in the shop along with these stunning images and you can create the most gorgeous cards.





This is a simple card using the papers and images and embellished with those lush cabochons.

 Next is a pretty acetate card which is tricky to photograph. 
You make a concertina card base by folding a strip of card (mine is 10.5 cm x 12cm scored every 2cms). Fold a piece of acetate 10.5cm x  28cm in half to form the cover. Make a hole in the top of the acetate so that you can thread through the ribbon. Stick one side of the acetate to the edge of the concertina base. Decorate a tag, thread through the ribbon and secure with a bow. Then stick down the other edge of the acetate to the base. I have used a decorative border to hide the sticky tape.  See easy peasy.
Finally a sandwich board card courtesy of my friend Jo .
These papers are a joy to work with. They are so pretty and such delicate colours. I know you will enjoy playing with them too. So don't dither they may not be in the shop too long!

  2. These are lovely cards Jan and the papers are perfect for vintage themes. I love the sandwich board card too. I've never seen one of those before.
