Card Challenge and Some Valentines Day Projects

 Three cards that I submitted for the  Take Ten Card challenge.  Following the example layout that was in the latest magazine.




I used some left over scraps of pattern paper, miscellaneous stamps, ribbon, sequins, die cut pieces and stickers.  It was fun to rummage through my stash of supplies and find new ways to use them.




 I really love making card using simple embellishments and very little stamping.  Let the papers to all the work.



That was a beautiful paper pad by DCWV and I am happy to say that I used every bit it too.  Now I will be on the lookout for another beautiful paper pad. ❤️

Scrappy Quilting

 Little by little I have been trying to use up my left over scraps.  Looking at Pinterest for some ideas on how to proceed with a scrappy quilt.  With so many wonderful ideas, I decided to  sew up my scraps lager enough to cut out a 5 inch squares, using an acrylic ruler. I had left over blocks from prior projects that made sewing up this quilt faster. Using my walking foot to do simple straight lines. I really love the way this mini quilt turned out.  I think this is a great way to use up left over blocks and scraps. This was another quilt using 4 inch blocks and yes using scraps.

Cards Using Crate Paper "Style Board"

Image
A few cards made using a cute pattern papers from Crate Paper 6 x 6 paper pad called "Style Board".  A very simple and quick card layout. I pulled out several sheets of paper from the paper pad and looked through my ribbon box and sticker/embellishment stash to see what would go well with the papers. These cute little bird in a bird cage stickers?  An oldie by Jolee's Boutique called "Vintage Bird Cages" #50-20363.   "Many thanks" sentiment is a sticker and not a stamp.  I have had this cute birthday die cut for a long while and I was happy to have finally used it. "Free Spirit" is a chipboard piece by an old K&Company called "Dear Olivia". Fussy cut out flowers from the collection  I also used some Tim Holtz idea-ology stickers from the "quotations" packet.

Using Wrapping Paper

A small piece of gift wrap left over.  I used one of my rectangle stitched die to cut out some panels. I ran a few through an embossing folder.  No bad for a last minute card idea.   Stamped sentiments came from Papertrey Ink. Gingham embossing folder: Cuttlebug Dotted embossing folder: We R Memory Keeper
