The latest MPM inspired me to create cards that use journal cards as the focal point.
Journal cards are so pretty, sadly I am not a journaler, but I figured out a way to incorporate them into cards.
Photo 1 - I used a 4x4 journal card, die-cut using a square stitched die from my stash. I anchored the card using a strip of paper from the kit and popped it up using foam tape, the sentiment is from my stash. I made x2 of these. I think you could easily hand-cut these out and skip the stamp or handwrite a sentiment.
Photo 2 - I used x2 different journal cards here and I let them help me choose the backgrounds. The bird card has 'hello' on it and that inspired my stamp choice. The 'go your own way' card made me think of arrows, so I used a stencil to create the background. Also very easy. You could also use papers from the kit if you preferred.
Photo 3 - I went with a small square card, mini square cards are very cute! Again used 4x4 journal cards. I used dies to cut the cards and the larger paper squares. The papers are from the kit. You could always cut the squares by hand.
