A brilliant idea from Ali .... I have to clear out my craftroom as we get guests very soon and need my craftroom as a bedroom and we will start to decorate the house very soon (sigh). When going through all the wonderful papers I have collected and which are more than 3 months old, I couldn't really decide what to choose ... there are too many! In the end I settled for some paper blocks which I acquired but never used because I was not sure what to do with them apart from looking at them and admiring the colours, designs and the paper itself (lol).
I decided to make some cards and once I had started I couldn't stop anymore ... my design recipe was simple: A6 cards, Union Jack (because of all the celebrations taking place here in Britain), simple and quick. I made three different sets of cards and if you would like to see them all, please take a look here.
For Ali's de-stash challenge I chose my two favourite cards from the sets: The base are white A6 cards which are layered with Tilda papers. The bits and pieces for the Union Jack were cut by hand using a stencil as template. With only the flag the cards looked a bit plain so I added some little decorations: a Sizzix die-cut butterfly with some little blings
and a little layered heart ornament in various Tilda papers
If you have not de-stashed yet there is still time to take part in the challenge which will end on 31.03. Happy De-stashing, Petra.

Do our destash cards have to be the Union Jack pattern? Where do we post them?

so clever and brilliantly executed idea
Now that is some gorgeous de-stashing! Beautiful cards and how clever to use the pieces to create a flag! Happy Weekend!
Wow - what a fantastic idea - I love this!!! And you're right, there's lots to celebrate this year in the UK. I won't be there for the Jubilee, but I'll be there for the Olympics. Sorry to hear you have to spend time decorating not crafting. Thanks for playing the de-stash challenge :)
These are wonderful! Love the design.
