Cards made from scraps only!

Good Morning!

Warning, this post will be picture intensive.  I've been working on using up my scraps before I buy anymore paper!  I'm starting out with my K&Company SW Floral designer and specialty paper.  When I first bought this paper and some of the matching stickers & borders, I bought 3 of the paper packs.  I love this paper!  Anyway, I had a ton of scraps that I didn't want to just throw out, so I saved them....
Last winter I followed Joyfully Made Designs directions for One Sheet Wonders.  I saved the pattern/sketch for them and I'm glad I did.  :)  I pulled that out and started going through my scraps.  I decided to use #1 and #2 for my cards to make it easier to sort them out.  I ended up with 25 cards and a much smaller scrap pile!!  I did save the large pieces because they are much easier to use for assorted other cards and sketches.  I'll be using them this week (hopefully lol) for Mojo Monday and Viva la Verve sketches.
This took me all day Saturday and most of this morning to finish up.  ...




















On the insides of all the cards, I made a small pocket where a blank sheet is inserted.  I did it that way so I can print out something if I want, or just write it on the blank sheet.  When I decide what I want to use the card for, I can/will stamp something on the card front.


Have a great day!

Mojo Monday & Viva la Verve

Good Morning!

I have two cards today, using two different sketches, Mojo Monday #387 and Viva la Verve Sketches Week 1.

First up, Mojo Monday...
My take on it...

The flower, butterfly and background paper are from K&Company, embellished with stickles.  The long piece is actually white watercolor paper, stamped using Anna Griffin's Beautiful Background Stamps and heat embossed using white embossing powder.  It was colored with Gelato's using baby wipes.


The second card I made is using Viva la Verve sketch...

My take on it...

I used Heartfelt Creations, gems, stickles and two stamps.  Where flowers boom is a Verve Stamp and the Sending you Sunshine is from Hero Arts stamps.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Viva la Lerve week 4

Good Afternoon!

As I said earlier today, I made some paper from a gift I received.  I played along with the Viva la Verve Sketches, week 4 to use my paper.

The sketch...
The inside of the box used to create/copy my paper...

The paper I made and used...

I outlined the paper I used with gems and colored in parts of the butterflies with stickles.  The words were printed and cut out of velum and edged with ink...


The whole card...
