When life gives you scraps

It's day 2 of the retreat and I found myself with a lot of scraps at the end of the day.  What do you do with all those scraps of paper? I have several Craft Fairs in the next month so I decided to create some fun Birthday cards with the scraps.  

I started with scraps from the Foil Frenzy Designer Series Paper #144125,  Some of the paper I cut into 1" strips and others I punched with the Balloon Bouquet Punch #140609.

Added these elements to some Very Vanilla Cardstock # 101650 and stamped Happy Birthday from the Best Birds Stamp Sets #141525.  A  ribbon bow completes the card.

Here are 3 of the finished cards (ended up with 14 completed cards).

What do you do with your scraps?

Remarkably Created Blog Tour- Oh So Succulent

It's time for our monthly blog tour- so glad you stopped by!  This month we are focusing on the Oh So Succulent Stamp Set and Succulent Framelit Dies (remember when you purchase them together you save 10%).

When I first saw this set- I wasn't 100% sure I would want this, but I'm so in glad I purchased the bundle.  The set is so versatile!   My project is for an upcoming birthday gift- so I created......ready to see????

Here's my gift bag for my gift-  isn't it so cute!!!

I stamped the tag using the Oh So succulent Stamp Set  

and it's hard to see but I added wink of stella to each plant. 

And how about these! They are die cut from the Succulent Framelit Dies- sponged and wink of stells.

You can't give a gift without a card- so....

One Wild Ride

One of my top ten stamp sets from this years catalog is One Wild Ride.  I have a lot of friends that ride and I knew it was a must have.  I created this card for a female friends birthday.  It's a gate fold card. Love creating fun fold cards- they always get ohs and ahs- it's a WOW card!
