I'm a scrapbooker, but I really love making cards. For me they are super quick and easy - and a great way to use up scraps. So I took a few minutes to make some mother's day cards - for my mother-in-law, for a special aunt, and of course for my mom.
The first one uses some paper from the Studio Calico Lisse Street 4x6 pad, a scrap from my scrap basket, a piece of doily, a sticker, and a dear lizzy thicker word. I used pop dots to add different pieces so the card has a lot of dimension. That meant stacking popdots in some cases so that pieces were supported as I overlapped layers. And that glittery tag - it's from Ashley Calder's etsy shop.
The next one was even easier. I used no tools - not even scissors. I just dug for scraps that worked together and were the right size. The flower was from an old Studio Calico cut file and was just hanging out on my desk. I think the pink ink inkspatters pull this all together - especially the way that some landed on top of the flower.
The third card was super easy too. The three patterned papers came right from my scraps and needed just a little bit of trimming. That big gold rose was on a Crate Paper sticker sheet that is almost used up. And the rosette was left over from another project. And that label - it is from Studio Calico and was perfect for this card!
So dig into your scraps and put together some quick cards. And link me up so I can see. I always like some new inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by.
