i buy and sell vintage cards ,but my problem was i had lots of beatiful cards that had been written on .
my first idear was to make vintage tags but i also had cards that were too good to cut up compleatley so i desided to make some card kits
using the front of the card that wasnt spoilt i cut to size of card ,then the inner card has been cut to go in the blank card.
these cards have such great designs and such wonderful words that you can only appreshate them if you see them and all you have to do is use a little glue!!!Clare Halfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00718583521232704890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314468216421764210.post-86009487353622006782012-02-23T09:14:00.000-08:002012-02-23T09:14:35.008-08:00vintage scrap fabrics for sale<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

however I'm having a bit of a sort out a decided to bring new life into the cards <br />
by cutting them up and planning to sell them in a card kit form <br />
<br />
For those of you who are feeling shock and horror that i would cut up theses<br />
cards ,don't worry they have been either damaged or written on <br />
so this is a knew way for me to take recycling to the next level......<br />
