Bright & Cheery with Curly Cute

Hello stamping friends! I've got some bright & cheery cards for you today made with the Curly Cute Sentiment Stamp Set and some color blocking stripes!

The cards were so much fun to make and guess what? They are made with scraps! Yes, I said Scraps!!!! I always end up with strips of cardstock left over from various projects that are between 1/2 inch and 2" wide. I just took several of those strips of various widths and SNAILED them onto a sheet of cardstock, butting up the edges so there were in gaps in-between the various strips.

Next, I cut them into sections that are 2 3/4 x 5" wide (if you start with 11" long cardstock, you can cut 4 of these from each piece). To give them a little texture and interest, I ran them through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Impressions Folder. Attach them to various colors of cardstock and then mount on different colored card bases. I used the sentiments from the absolutely adorable Curly Cute stamp set, stamping on each card with Black Stazon Ink. Add a little trim (I cut these adorable shapes using the new Tasteful Trim Die (available on September 1st in the Holiday Mini Catalog) and the Big Shot and some colorful ribbon and viola ... instant cuteness!

And just think, they are primarily made of scraps! How great is that!!!

 

I'm taking orders now for a new batch of ribbon and DSP samplers -- supplies will be ordered on Friday so get your order in soon to make the deadline! More information can be found HERE.

 

Also, the Test Tube Gift Card Holders have been very popular and I continue to send out kits as quickly as I can put them together. Have you ordered yours yet?

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you found some ideas and inspiration here and I hope you come back again soon!

Fabulous way to use the scraps!!! I'm going to start digging through my scrap bags and get some color combos going to have pieces on hand and ready for use. Thanks for the fabulous idea.

These are so colorful and cute! I love the new Tasteful Trim die and it's great on cards and scrapbook pages, in addition to fabric as demonstrated at convention.
