Making Cards from Your Scrap Stash June 08

by Chrys Rose

Stop!  Before you head down to the local drug store to pick up that birthday card, head into your scrap stash and pull out all those scraps you've been saving!  Here our fabulous designers have come up with different card designs using leftover scraps.  Not only does it use up those little pieces that we just have to save, but it also puts a smile on our loved ones faces when they see that you created something just for them.

I have been trying to use more stamping into my creations.  With all the stamps out there and what I've hoarded for years I need to start using.  So I took the pieces of scrap papers and stamped the animals on them and cut them out before adding then to the cards.  It is fairly easy to do and really adds that *cuteness* to the cards.

Debbie created these absolutely adorable cards using various scraps. As you can see Debbie has created creatures and fence posts with just bits of paper.  By adding some fun Stickles glitter she has highlighted the butterfly and flowers.  She has also added dimension with the hand stitching on her cards! Note that the frog card she downloaded an image, re-sized it for her card, printed it and then used that as a pattern.

Shawna took a different approach and used scraps of cardstock to make her cards.  By using some pretty punches she highlighted the cardstock with decorative edges.  She also added minimal embellishments, but they still pack quite a punch for these wonderful cards!

Summer's cards are fabulous!  With just a large scrap of pattern paper on the card, she has made these simple but striking cards. She did use some of the crackle paint on the "love" card, which added a outstanding effect to the sentiment. Any card that is black & white with a bold bright color is awesome in my book!

Kimber is getting ready for Christmas!  It won't be too long before we need to get those holiday cards out and with these cards you'll have lots of inspiration. Her cards are quick, easy but still very gorgeous!   Kimber used her Cricut to cut out the images on the scraps of pattern paper.  Having this die cutting machine will really use up those scraps that we are all hoarding.
