Card Set For My Mom's Birthday

I made this card set for my mom, which includes 5 cards, stamped envelopes, and a box to put them in. I got the box idea from Pinterest, here. It was perfect timing because I was about to look for a way to package the cards.

I am entering this into a ScrapFit: Workout #75 Challenge, where twine is the star. I loved using the twine and was glad I had enough for this project.

This project also made use of the leftovers from the AlphaStamps Gypsy Swap, which I still haven't put away. I try to get the most out of a set of paper before it is out of sight, out of mind.

 

 

Supplies:

Cardstock - Stampin' Up
Stamps - Stampin' Up and Pink Paislee
Pattern Paper - Kaiser Craft
Twine - Etsy
Flowers - Prima
Ink - Stampin' Up

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Scrappy Savings!

Another ScrapFIT Step Class #7 Entry

With scraps from my Proud American Girl layout, I made a card with punched circles and a leftover pinwheel. This will be entered into the ScrapFIT Step Class #7 Challenge. I love making a card or two after a big project like a layout. Helps to use up those scraps.

ScrapFIT Step Class #7 - Pinwheels!

Wow! Another great challenge from ScrapFIT, involving pinwheels! This paper from My Mind's Eye already had pinwheels in the patterns so it was easy to make a few of my own to make them pop! I used my new Scor-Buddy, which I bought from Really Reasonable Ribbon during a blog hop featuring their ribbon and the Scor products. It is awesome and much easier than using my trimmer. Definitely worth looking into!

Supplies:
My Mind's Eye papers (bought from Crafty Steals)
Scor-Buddy
Jenni Bowlin calender block
Jenni Bowlin pattern paper
Buttons
Heidi Swapp chipboard letters
Stampin' Up marker

ScrapFIT Workout #71 Home Sweet Home

There is an awesome challenge over at ScrapFIT, Workout #71 Home Sweet Home, where you show off your home accent crafts that you have made. I wanted to show off my daughter's room plaque again, since I love it so much! She is into ballet right now and this just seemed to match that perfectly. Now if I can just get one done for my son, something with a circus lion.  We'll see!



I used a cheapo wooden plaque from Wal-Mart, some old lace I have had forever, some pink pearl trim, paper from Foofala, some pre-cut letters covered in Perfect Pearls, some hat pins from Heidi Grace, some misc. flowers, and a flower that I made using the Cricut. Very cool!

Happy Scrappy Savings!
