Recently I went to Jo Anne Fabrics and shopped their clearance to find this pre-folded box of cards by Debbie Mum. They are textured card stock with color on the outside and white on the inside. So they are my most recent project. Every few days, hopefully, I will be posting these designs. These were the first. My inspiration: Creative Memories Diva Stickers (a customer gift) from Kristen my former up line and Creative Memories Consultant. My thinking was to make them simple and sweet. I used old paper from when I got started scrapping almost 8 years ago. So the background paper I have no idea what it is, but you could easily substitute it with something else. The pink in these two shapes are also CM papers from a mat stack from when I was a consultant. Sadly, I don't remember the name of that either - what help am I today? :) The stamps are from Stampin' Up! as well as the punches used. On the card on the bottom right of the photo, I scalloped both layers of the card as well as the background paper. You will see the ribbon pattern a lot throughout this set of cards. I loved doing it!
If you look closely at this card, there are random stamps around the edges. Hmmm, I had to cover up some mistakes here, and this was the way to do it. I accidentally laid my stamp down and a second print was made on the card front, so I continued it to make it look on purpose - what a deal! Looks good! The strip across here is a scrap from scalloping the previously mentioned card. I saved two things on this card from the trash!
The cards are really VERY simple! The card on the left also had a save. The punched image on the right of the card (with the ribbon attached to it) had a print of stamp on it as well, so I stamped repeatedly all over it to create the effect. Up close and personal, I think the effect is quite nice. The card also uses scraps from the 12 x 12 paper cut apart and I adhered them to the card in two strips put together looking like one. These truly are simply saved.
