If you are like me, you have a lot of scraps in your crafting supplies. I can't tell you many pieces of scrap cardstock, designer paper, et cetera that I have on hand. I needed to do something creative with it. After all, scraps are just waiting to be used! :o)
So I have been making a dedicated effort to use my scraps as I design and create my greeting cards. I'm pleased with how things are turning out. Although, I must admit, that in the beginning, it was a challenge for me because I am no longer inspired some of the scraps pieces I have on hand. You know what I mean? Either the color or texture or design...whatever, it's just not inspiring me to create. But I am determined to make this work, and so far so good.
Here are a couple of the handmade greeting cards that I have designed and created using scraps. Let me know what you think...
I hope you like them. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
So, have you ever wanted to send a card to some just to say 'hello', only to find that none of the cards in your stash say 'hello' in the way that you want to say it??? Well, it's certainly happened to me, so you know I had to do something about it.
Here's one of my latest handmade greeting card creations....
I think you know what I am going to say...I love this card! :o) I love handmade greeting cards. I think it's just perfect. It gets right to the point. And I created this card using scraps from my supplies. I just love the pop of color that the polka dotted chartreuse ribbon adds. And of course I had to add butterfly trails. Oh, and I dabbed the letters with my favorite Tim Holtz Distressed Ink (Vintage Photo) to age them a bit.
Here is a list of the supplies that I used to create this handmade greeting card:
Base card - Paper Source Cardstock - Chartreuse
Designer Paper
Paper Source Cardstock - Fig
Me $ My big Ideas Alpha chips Letter Sticker
