I love cardmaking, but sometimes I just get in a rut. Thats when I switch things up a bit and print about a dozen or so copies of my current favorite photos. I love photographing flowers, leaves and everyday objects. These photos would just be beautiful card fronts. To make it a little more personable to the recepient, why not use up some of those leftover stickers and rub ons you’ve been hoarding for months?
Supplies needed:

Multiple copies of photographic prints

Leftover Stickers, Saying stickers/Quote, themed, alphas (you know you all have a stash!)

Misc Rub Ons

Photo Corners

Cardstock

Adhesive
Step 1- Find a photo to create your card with, find some stickers/rub ons that would work well with the picture.

Step 2- Make copies of the favored print or find a variety of photos that will comply with your sticker sentiments. Place your sticker/rub on in desired position on photograph.

Step 3- Adhere your photo to cardstock and add photo corner and embellish as you wish.

Here are my 3 favorite cards I made using this technique.

Birthday Boy- Train Photograph Card- Sticker placed vertically, thin white border around photo, misc. cardstock for card base

Crisp and Cool- Crispy leaf dusted with some snow; Clear EK Success Sticker, Quickutz Photo Corners cut out of Bazzill Bling Cardstock, Misc Cardstock for card base

Happy Birthday- Photo of Crazy Daisies- “Happy” metal embellishment and clear “Birthday” sticker, Quickutz Photo Corner Dies cut out of Chatterbox Paper, Misc Cardstock for card base

On the backs of the cards, I printed up some small ‘Photography by Renee’ labels along with my email address should the recipient want to get their hands on more of my cards! This is a great way to advertise your photography and papercrafting talents!
