MAMBI Airmail 12×12 paper pad – Part 2
I’m still using the Me and My Big Ideas Airmail 12×12 paper pad. I have several sheets of paper left and haven’t gotten bored with it yet.
I continued with the simple layouts and minimal embellishments.
For the first card I used the green paper which has some of the glitter treatment. I added some green foil paper for the strip across the card and a simple “Hello” sentiment.
For this card, I let the paper do the work. The paper had a big paint splash print on it and some of the glitter treatment. All I had to do was add a simple sentiment and pop it up with foam tape.
One of the 12×12 sheets had a mix of colors and prints and several different treatments. I didn’t want to lose any of the fun prints so picked a layout with 1 large panel. I border punched a strip of pink paper and added it to the top of the panel and added a small sentiment.
I liked the fleur de lis print on the blue paper and thought it would make a good border panel. I paired it with some of the foil paper and added a thin black strip down the left side of the card. The sentiment is centered over the black strip and the seam of the 2 papers.
One of the 12×12 sheets was a mix of several blue-green prints. I used some of the plainer print for the background and some of the postage print for the square panel.
There was quite a bit of the foil paper left so I used some for the bottom panel. The top panel is more of the blue-green print paper. I used some washi tape to separate the papers and added a few sequins to the top panel.
Some of the paper was a peachy pink color which paired well with the different blues and greens. For this card I used some more of the fleur de lis print for the bottom panel and added the peachy pink paper for the top. I used some dies to cut the sentiment panel and matting and added a few pearls to bring the blue-green color up onto the pink paper.
There was a big area on one of the 12×12 sheets that was a solid blue-green color with no print or treatments. I used this for the background and added a busy printed paper for the strip down the middle of the card. I added a few pearls on the right side of the strip to finish the card.
I still had some more of the blue-green paper so used a large piece for the background. I added a smaller piece for the square panel and some of the foil paper for the strip across the card.
This is some more of the 12×12 paper with all the colors and prints. I used another big piece of the paper for the background. The strip across the card is a scrap of the salmon pink paper. As there was a lot going on with the card, I skipped adding any embellishments.
The green paper had several larger prints on each 12×12 sheet. I used a larger piece for the bottom panel and some of the blue-green printed paper for the upper panel. I separated the prints with a strip of black cardstock. For some sparkle, I added a couple sequins.
This piece of paper had a lot of white space. There was a small corner with some blue and black print. I added a strip of green foil paper and used a small scrap of green paper for the sentiment.
For this card I used some more of the pink foil paper for the background. I kept the piece of pink paper with the fun postage prints as large as possible and just added a simple black ribbon at the top of the panel.
This was my last piece of the pink and orange paper. I added a few rhinestones and used the ombre ink pad for the sentiment.
This was the last piece of the pink foil paper. I rounded the corners of a pink and purple colored square and matted it with some black paper. As the foil paper is a very busy print, I kept the card very clean and skipped any embellishments.
I made another 33 cards, 2-4 of each of the layouts above. There are still several sheets left, but I’m ready for a change. I didn’t finish off the entire paper pad, but I made a good dent in it. I’ll put the remaining paper back in my stash and pull it out another time.
