Speed-cardmaking ... out of junk around your house!

MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE ANNOTATIONS ON! I put a bit more detail in there, along with ... pretty much all this in here, but if you like reading, go ahead n' read this!

These are fun little things to do in half-an-hour, with those objects you feel are 'too useful to throw away' but you still leave lying around your house for the next Gawd knows how many years, just like how they were before. Most of this stuff - little flowers, ribbons, etc. - can cost quite a lot in craft stores so it's good to make use of what you already have.

Things I used other than the bits I saved from the rubbish: a needle and thread (for Design 2, I used silver thread; I thought it went with the flowers better). Cards - you can get them in packets of 5, 10 or more from your local craft store. If you live in the UK, try The Works, you can get them real cheap there. Or, you could always just buy plain white card and make your own!

Music is from incompetech - tracks I used were Hand Trolley, New Friendly and Radio Martini. Radio Martini is a nice piece; it's probably my favourite of the three.

For the bow-making (I did for Design 1), PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO SHOW YOU. Go visit Himehood's tutorial, I learnt from her, and she can explain it a lot better than I:

And finally, what do I do with all the cards? I keep a few for my own use but many of them are donated to charity. :)

Interesting ideas! If there are any useless materials around the house, I know what to do with them.
