Simple & Fast Card

While I was working on Challenge projects this past weekend I found myself with lots of scrap paper.  I made a quick and easy card.
Paper:  Scraps
Stamp: Hampton Art Woman Collage
Ink Versafine
For this card I stamped the image in versafine Sepia onto beige paper.  I re-stamped the butterfly portion on yellow card stock.  I layered the image on scrap paper and tied with a bow.  I added pop dots to the butterfly to give it some dimension.  I added to a standard kraft card.

CRC 78 Earth Day Thinking of You

I made a very simple card for this challange.  I started with a recycled Kraft Base and covered it with orange paper.  I stamped the Trees onto a scrap of designer paper.  I punched a circle out of plastic packaging and punched a smaller hole to time onto the Rafia.  

I stamped thinking of you in the corner.  

For this project I used:

Stamps: Teeny tiny wishes, everyday flexible phrases, and Lovely as a Tree all from Stampin up.

Ink: Versafine.

Scrap Challenge Project #7

KiKi's Folded Dog Card

Today my niece Kiara showed me how to make a folded dog out of a piece of printer paper. I thought it was so cute so I decided to create my own version... you guessed it using scraps.

How I made the card.

1. I folded a piece of 8 1/2" square paper corner to corner making a rectangle.

2. I marked in 4 1/2 " from each side of the folded edge.

3. I folded down the corner to the 4 1/2" mark to make the ears.

4. I cut the top layer only between the ear and the face (only to the fold)

5. I punched an oval from each ear. I put a piece of beige paper behind and taped the ear down.

6. I covered the inside (top layer only) of the face with lighter paper.

7. I punched out all the pieces to make the face and collar (see diagram below)

8. To hold the ears down I put a fancy clip with a ribbon

9. I finished it off with Huge goggly eyes....

This shows the opened ear. Each Oval area is a great place to write a message.

This is when the head and ears are flipped open. I think I will add a piece of cream paper to the inside to write my message.

This was a fun project and I can't wait to see what other paper animals Kiki teaches me to make....

3X3" Note Card Set

I was inspired by the tutorial on Split Coast Stamper 3X3 note card tote. Of course I put my own spin on it and I'm really happy the way it turned out. I used the new Stampin up bird punch I bought from my friend Joyce (aka sensei). All the paper was scraps so i don't know the names. I did two different versions. I hope you like it as much as I do!
