Masterboard Monday. Use it or Lose it.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

Following my earlier project here: I decided to have a go at using up some papers that I'd got from a magazine.

This Masterboard is A4 in size.

These were the original papers. 

Christmas papers! but not sure I'll keep going with these as I have other projects on the go but at least I've made a start. 

To start the project the paper is cut into strips.

As seen here.

I've cut them at 2cm or 3/4" inch but it's up to you.

I like to lay them out first to get an idea of the layout.

And then attach them with wet glue.

Then snip around the edge to remove the waste bits but don't throw them away as I'm sure we'll find a use for those later.

I cut these into four pieces and then they were ready to mount up.

The kitties just had to take centre place they are so sweet with their little hats which I found in my stash.

The sentiments are die cuts.

A sentiment and a ribbon is really all you need for this design.

The die cut on this card was by Spellbinders.

And these are the cards I completed.

Now if you're not a lover of Masterboards you can do the design directly onto the card blank.

A tip here for you is to turn the end over to the shape it will be when trimmed and then you know where to apply the glue.

Trim as you go along then you can see where you're up to better.

As you can see a little goes a long way.

It may take a while to make the Masterboard but the cards are quick.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
