Three quick cards from scrap pile

I've been reorganizing and came across a container of cuttings and scraps, no big surprise. So last night I created a set of three cards.

I kept the cards plain for now until I need a sentiment added.

Border punch from Martha Stewart
Sentiment locations are a die set from Spellbinders Fancy Frames Tag Two.

What a beautiful die set which I bought years ago at AC MOORE. Embossing folder from Darice.

Grid card set

I wanted to try this out as I saw a similar technique on Pinterest.

Base card 8 1/2 x 5 1/2
Layer 4 x 5 1/4

Then using 4 similar pattern flower paper I cut each at 3 1/2 x 4 3/4
Then cut into 4 pieces and alternated them to make 4 cards.

Sentiment and punch from SU.

Card set gift set

I made this set and mailed it to JoAnn as a thank you. She gave me one of her crochet purses she was selling.

Single layer card set

I have to say I am pleased how these turned out.
Single layers cards for a craft fair I am doing next month at my church, we were to donate an item to a raffle basket so I came up with these.

 Above card, I cut out a window from a scrap piece of card stock and sponge in some green ink. Took the Stampin Up tree and stamped three trees for the backgroung. Took a darker green, removed the mask and stamped the tree full size as well as sentiment.

 above card I masked off a portion of top and bottom and sponged blue and green ink. Inked the French script from Stampin Up. Removed the two masked pieces and stamped the large branch and sentiment.

Similar directions as the top card. This one my favorite.

Framed bird card set

Here is a set of 4 card set, using a framed embossing folder and the Stampin' Up bird punch and branch set. The sentiments are also from various SU sets.

Card Set

I created this card set months ago but forgot to post it. I picked up this fabulous bird house stamp while I was in Florida last January at one of many craft store my friend Sue and I stopped into. it's made by Hero Arts called Tall Birdhouse

I wanted to create something different so I took the negative of a punched out circle and used it as a stencil to sponge in various colored SU inks on top of the image. My inks I had matched some old card stock I had pretty perfectly! Trying to use up what I have as I don't need any more cardstock or patterned paper.

For the sentiment sections I used various SU punches and left the field blank to add a sentiment as needed.
This set or individual would make great friend to friend cards, birthday cards, a mother's day card etc. Therefore I left it blank for now.

Butterfly Card set

I picked up these beautiful paper and rhinestone butterflies this week at Michael's craft store. A package of 24 for $1.99 on clearance.

To keep it simple, I used a Stampin Up border punch on the botton of the cards and then used a matching piece (1" x 4 1/4") of card stock and punched that as well and included the sentiments from SU Warm Words rubber stamp set.

To attach the butterflies I used a medium Glue Dot. For the trails of flight, I used the white gel pen and a ultra fine sharpie

Star Card Set

While trying to keep cool tonight, the day after the 4th, I decided to create a card set using the "Perfectly Penned" stamp set from Stampin' Up and stars.

I found various sizes of stamp punches and used my scraps to punched them out.

To add a different element, I scored a line at 1 1/4" from the bottom and lined up the stars.

Inside of the card I have a negative punched star to show through the base card color.

Flower card set

I created this card set tonight with minimal effort and love the fact I have a sweet gift set to give or sell!

The base is the standard 4 1/4 x 11" folded at the top.
The colored card stock is at 4 x 5 1/4
The embossed layer (Stampin up) is then cut at 3 3/4 x 5"
Flowers punches from the trio retired SU punch glue dot in place and glitter glue dabbed in the center.
The sentiment and label are also from SU!

Keep the faith

I created this card set (set of 3) with the SU set and a Martha Stewart border punch.
I double mounted the image and then the mat to give it twice the dimensions, the image is also inked along the outer edge.
