Geared up

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card made for Less is More where the theme is borders. I have die cut the gears using a thick yoghurt foil lid. I stuck the lid on to a rather thick packaging material from a Body shop pack and maybe next time I should use paper that is not thicker than the cardstock itself. 

The card was left sentiment free for the purpose of flexibility.

Great way to use the gear die cuts! I have a gear die and don't even know if I ever used it because I never knew what to do with them! Thanks for the inspiration!

Great piece of recycling looks terrific. Like you I often leave a sentiment off expressing my sentiment inside when I know where it is going and why. x

Always like a bit of upcycling and your cogs border is great for a 'man card'. Thanks for playing along at Less is More.

What a fantastic clean and simple card. I have never used my gear die son their own. You have inspired me to use them more creatively.

I bet the depth of those cogs is awesome! Such a clever way to up-cycle the yogurt lid. I can see that this would suit the guys really well. Thanks for playing along with us at Less is More xx
