Everyday Happiness DSP Left Overs Card

Here's a left over card...supplies from the scrapbooking kit I blew threw a few weeks ago provided stickers and a lovely full layer for the card front. On the inside, at the bottom of the card, I put a cast off piece just to add that little extra something. All better than tossing in the trash or having to store! This all comes from the Everyday Happiness paper. The suite has a matching stamp set and dies which I incorporated for the flower, leaves and greeting. Love these colours together!

Spring Fling Card Layout featuring the Bough Punch

 This is a layout I've been going to lately to use up some of my growing patterned paper stash! A panel of 3 inches by 5.5 inches down the centre of the cardbase. Coupled with the bough punch which is perfect for adding little accents with no effort at all, this one comes together in a flash. This is one of the cards we'll be making at the St. Andrew's Hespeler Spring Fling on April 12. Here's where to register! I hope to see you there!

Beautiful Butterflies in Balmy Blue

Just starting to really play with this embossing folder - Beautiful Butterflies - and love the simplicity of one embossed layer with a greeting and embellishments. Packs a wow with minimal product. I used Balmy Blue which is not my usual go-to blue (I prefer Boho Blue but it's retiring soon - Nooooo!) but it is nicely offset with the Basic White and Night of Navy ink for the Happy Birthday sentiment. Save this to your easy layouts folder!

Friends of the Ocean Bright & Cheery Card

What bright and cheery paper is this? Friends of the Ocean with bold colours like Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Coastal Cabana. This layout's a keeper: 1" x 5 1/4" strips spaced out on a layer of coordinating cardstock then popped up onto a card base in your fave colour. Use a strip of white horizontally that is tall enough to house your greeting and add a punched or die cut shape or even ribbon at the other end. And it uses up some of those left over strips of patterned paper that I know you've been hoarding. Enjoy!

Sweet Layout featuring to the Point

Sweet and simple layout using the samp To The Point punch I featured in yesterday's post. Some cast off strips of patterned paper trimmed to 3/4" x 3" with that lovely gold 1 1/2" open weave trim on behind really brings it home. Thanks to Laura Buechler for this layout. I see this being a good layout for multiples and beginner cards. Anyone can put this together!

Timeless Plaid neutral colour card

One of the three cards we're making at the March Monthly card class. In person takes place on Monday March 10 or you can get the cards as a kit to go and supply your own inks, stamps and blocks to complete your cards. Really like how this one came together with the Timeless Plaid patterned paper for a more neutral colour palette. The pearls are coloured with Stampin' Blends to perfectly coordinate with the paper.

Cheery card with Delightful Wishes

Such a cheery card with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive acdents. The back layer is vellum card giving it a more translucent look in real life. It's attached to the card with the 1" strip of embossed Lemon Lolly on the left. Genius! These would make the perfect "thinking of you" card just as wonderfully as birthday and thank you. Add extra dimension to your leaves by sponging some ink of the matching or lighter/darker colour than you cardstock. So happy to share this card from received in a recent swap with you.

This one's For the Books!

Swap card from Melva Peters featuring the For the Books stamp set: this is a great set if you have a library of your own as there's even a stamp that says, "from the library of" included with it. Use it to make cards for the avid reader on your list, or for tags and bookmarks! It's really super cute. There are dies that go with, but at the very least you need this stamp set. Trust me.

I had loads of fun last weekend playing with our Scrapbook products called Every Day You and Me. There's a package of patterned paper, coordinating 12 x 12 cardstock, a huge sheet of stickers and even a stamp set with dies. Mix and match to use the products you will incorporate in your memory keeping layouts. After making ten 12" x 12" pages, I had all kinds of left overs to make cards with here's one!

Mixed Foil Paper Card

A multi-texture card from Karen Duke in a our recent swap. The background gets its marbled look from some ink and a textured stamp. I like how Karen mixed different foil colours on the same card with gold and silver. The blues and silver really set the gold foil off nicely. Enjoy!
