This week the Dutch Dares' challenge is: "newspaper" or "daily paper". Inspired by a technique I found on Pinterest I created this Christmas card:
How you do this:
A very simple, inexpensive and quick card, but I rather like the look of it! What you do is you fold the newspaper in half, cut half a Christmas tree on the folded side (through several layers of paper), place the pile of half trees on the folded side of the paper again, cut around the tree once more (bit bigger than the original tree), fold the pile of trees open, machine stitch through the middle and adhere to a piece of cardstock! Stitch around the cardstock and stamp a sentiment! That's it, a 5 minute card!
The stamp I used is from myStampBOX.
If you want to see what the other Dutch Dares dt members created, hop over to the DD blog! and if you feel inspired by all the ideas, why not play along and who knows .... you might be the winner of Petra's RAKor maybe our next guest designer.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeletewat een leuk idee zeg.
fijn weekend gr Thamar
Leuke kaart!! wat een manier om krantenpapier te gebruiken!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool! I love this card. What's so cool about it is that you could flatten it to mail it and then it would pop back up again when the recipient took it out of the envelope!
ReplyDeleteInderdaad erg leuk en heel apart!

ReplyDeleteOh wauw!! Nu schaam ik me bijna dat onze krant van gisteren al door de vuilnisman is opgehaald... Je kaart is super! En de krant van vandaag blijft uiteraard ver bij de papierbak vandaan, nu ik dit heb gezien:)
ReplyDeleteVery neat idea. I'd love to try that on a larger scale as a decorative piece. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteAlweer zo'n leuk idee! Ik ga hem pinnen :-)
