Hello, Kraftie Friends!

These cards have the Mixed-Media look...but without the mess!

Here's how to make mess-free mixed media cards:

Then, I added them on a die cut panel with foam tape. Sentiment (Daisy Meadows Cardmaking Workshop Kit) was paper pieced on 2 different pp. Dots were done using ColorBox Smooch.

Card #2

#2 Look for patterned papers that already look "mixed media-ish" and use the scraps to make a freestyle collage card.

Sentiment and Bird are from April Stamp of The Month - Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings ($18.95, $5 with a $50 purchase or FREE as a CTMH VIP Customer) and stitches from Stitched Together - Cardmaking stamp set.

Card #3

#3 This is also a printed pp that already have the Mixed Media look...I trimmed a panel for the card front, making sure I got the houses I wanted.

Then, I added a die cut poinsettia + stamping. Flower's center is also done with ColorBox Smooch. Sentiment is from a retired Craft With Heart Cardmaking Kit.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Today I'm sharing 2 cards with inlaid die cuts...my Cuttlebug machine and plates are old and sometimes it doesn't cut well, so I end up with these "happy accident" inlaid die cut panels...lol!

This one might be more of a partial inlaid die cut, since I left the wings unglued...but I got lucky the butterfly didn't cut well right in the center! I backed it with a purple patterned paper and added some more colors with alcohol-based markers. Then, I added some stamping and sentiment.

Card #3 

Not inlaid...just an extra card using washi tape + die cuts from my stash!
