Here’s another quick & simple card to share. The patterned paper and flower embellie are by Marcella (picked up on clearance at my local Target a while back). Sentiment stamp is Papertrey Ink (from Mixed Messages set).

I picked up a cute embellie at a local scrapbook store last year and re-discovered it in my stash last month. Thought I’d use it to make a quick wedding card. (It’s always good to have extras on hand). It came in an unmarked package…so not sure who made it. Love how the handmade paper looks like icing!

It’s difficult to see in the pics, but I used an irridescent cardstock to give it a formal feel.

The inside of the card is simply stamped with a sentiment by Anna Griffin.

As I mentioned recently, I’m a huge fan of Amy Butler‘s fabric designs. So needless to say, I’m thrilled that she’s teamed up over the years with K&Co to release several patterned paper packs. I love the Sola 12×12 designs. Thought I’d share a quick card today that uses a scrap from one of the Sola patterns. Letters are Thickers by American Crafts and the scalloped border is by doodlebug designs.

I pulled out some scraps from my stash the other day and decided to make a quick card with them. I have the tendency to pull out a lot of fresh cardstock, paper, ribbon, etc. when I make cards and then I end up with heaping bags full of scraps. Sometimes it’s fun to see what you can create if you limit yourself to using the “leftovers”.

Supplies: definition rub-on from Hobby Lobby, brown ribbon scrap, red polka dot scrap (Making Memories), K&Company pattern paper, Hero Arts notecard, Martha Stewart classic butterfly punch, Scenic route chipboard letters, black pen (to color butterfly body).

After making my friend’s hot water bottle cover, I thought it would be fun to design a card to match. I pulled out my trusty Silhouette SDand cut out a flower shape similar to the linen poppies on the hot water bottle cover.

I used the same color palette as the water bottle cover and pulled out a couple of trusty stamps: my Woodgrain Background stamp by Hero Arts and my I Treasure your Friendship sentiment stamp by Stampabilities. I embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder and added faux stitching with a brown fine-point marker. The flowers were adhered to the card front with spray adhesive. Am loving the freedom to create with a digital die-cut machine. The possibilities are really endless! Will be back to share more soon.
