Simple and Easy Cards

Making cards with limited items, can be fun and easy.

Use what you have.

These first two cards were made using a couple of small stamps from Stampin Up. 

You start by lightly tracing a circle in the middle of your white card stock.

Then I started stamping the butterflies around the circle-using different colors.  I only used two colors, but had 2 different butterflies. Once I covered my circle, I used two small flowers to fill in the background.

I chose to keep the background white in this one.

These 3 cards at the bottom were quick and easy as well.  I used my cricut and drew and cut the Praying for you sentiment. Used two different fonts. Used some of my left scraps for the first card.

I drew stripes in the sentiment to match my butterfly.

Colored pencils filled in this sentiment, stamped butterflies randomly around. Cut the butterfly out of a scrap piece of designer paper. 

Mermaids everywhere!!

Scraps Challenge

Today was the perfect day to enter the challenge over at Our Creative Corner.

Their challenge is to use scraps.  Who doesn't have tons of those??

I was cleaning up my desk and straightening out leftovers from previous projects.

This card was made totally from scraps (well almost-the yellow cardstock was cut a couple of weeks ago)

 The little girl is a business card from LaLa Land where I ordered some things.  The Dream sentiment inside and out was printed a while back for a journal I made.  The flower, birdcage, leaf die -I don't even know how long I've had it.  I always cut and make too many things!

The inside of the card -I save all paper scraps in a two 3 drawer bins.  I highly recommend it.  When I need a scrap-I already have them color coordinated.  I love it!
