Card for Sienna

I think Prima flowers are the best for making quick cards!

I love Stampin’ Up’s Penguin Paradise set – especially the hula-dancing penguin.

Cards from recycled ribbon

I knew I was saving last Christmas’ ribbon for a reason!

Cricut “lace”

 

There are many AMAZING cricut lace creations.  I am not so gifted.
This is what I did with my George cartridge.

Cards using random scraps

I’ve become a big fan of embossing folders recently. It’s a big statement, pretty easy to achieve.

Wishing for SU Top Note Die

Since StampinUp introduced the Top Note Die, I have wanted it in an unforgivable coveting kind of way.  Sure it would be simple to shell out the $22+tax+shipping and suffer through the interminable waiting for delivery.  But wait, my trusty red sizzix can't use that size die.  If I buy a die, I'll have to buy a new machine to go with it. 

There's also the Spellbinders Die(s) of similar shape, and in MULTIPLE sizes with an option to emboss/deboss.  Again, if I buy the die(s), I need to buy a bunch of accessories to go with it. 

Hmm.. that other diecut machine I have under the table.  What's it called again?  Oh yeah, a cricut.  And looky there's this cartridge with a similar shape.  It's time to spend more time with the cricut...

When life gives you scraps...

 punch flowers out of paper scraps until you get a "bunch."



 ribbon scraps that were headed for the trash get

a new lfie.

The polka dot flower was die cut from a really cute box in

the recycle bin.



Cards made with felt scraps

I had a bunch of felt scraps (e.g. 1" x 2" pieces).  With my trusty old red sizzix, I die cut lots of flowers and here's what I did with them.

Baby Shower Cards (sized for group signatures)

Here are some cards that I made for several baby showers for guests who contributed to the group gift.  From the pictures, it's hard to tell the size of these cards.  Let's just put it this way -- for the envelope, I used a comic book protector.
