Am I the only one who has piles of scraps laying on her table?? I collect these little bits and pieces of previously stamped images and then they just sit there. I finally went through my pile yesterday and made three CAS cards, each using at least two of my scraps! Woohoo!
The first used a Crafty Secrets image and a panel of Basic Black that I had zigzagged around the edges:
I colored her in very quickly, “vintaged” up the paper a bit, added a sentiment from the same set and found a button that matched my paper!
The second used a retired SU Thanksgiving image that I had watercolored and I even had the brads already on it!
The background panel was a CHF backgrounder image already mounted, so I put them all together on an Always Artichoke card, added a sentiment and it was done!
The third one will be my Christmas card for the week, a little early! I had this sentiment and image stamped for a stamp camp I did a couple years ago; the branch is stamped in Versamark and embossed with Iridescent Ice:
I already had the poinsettia panel embossed, and I even had the ribbon already tied! I added some Always Artichoke DP, made an AA card and quick as a snowflake, it was done too! What a productive afternoon! Any questions, just shoot me an email! And be sure to come back tomorrow when I am the hostess for the Paper Players with a fun new challenge!
BOTH of those babes on your post are GORGEOUS! {Love the BABY, need THAT girl! JSYK!} Loving your conucopia of crafty output... FABULOUS work, doll! Yipeeee!
ReplyDeleteCassidy looks like she's ready for tomorrow's post already! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are great cards made from scraps and doesn't it make you feel good to use them? I feel certain my scraps would out-number yours by tons! We should pool them together and have a card-making party!
WOW you certainly have been a busy gal - and looks like little Cassidy is cheering you on. The cards are wonderful - I have all sorts of little baggies of scraps and now feel justified in keeping them - SOME DAY the mojo fairy will smack me in the head and I'll make a ton of cards...giggle.
